It doesnt matter what format as long as they are on Commodore 64 it doesnt matter.
I dont have any favourites yet because i dont have my C64 yet. :roll:

PS: Fallout 3 is WAY better or PC :D

ANY of the arcade classics (there's a ton of 'em): DK, Ms. Pac-Man, Omega Race, Sea Wolf, Wizard of Wor, etc.

Pinball Construction Set
Bomb Jack
Commando
Ghost Busters
Giana Sisters
Montezuma's Revenge
One on One
Star League Baseball
Kickman
Lode Runner
Aliens
Starflight

Those should keep you busy for a while. Waaaaaaay too many awesome C64 games to be had, but these are all great for a "quick" fix.

Commando

Commando Libya (think thats what its called) looks more fun but probably because i like games with lots of blood and gore. eg. First time playing Fallout 3 "Die." *head explodes* :lust: :cool:

Wow you heard of Wasteland?
You can say that its not part of Fallout but it is..Fountain of Dreams the second games is pushing it but I definatley consider them all of the Fallout/Wasteland world.

They are are linked somehow...love them all so much.

When you play them all you'll understand.Posted Image

Io, Armalyte, Salamander, Phobia, Katakis, Enforcer (essentially the sequel to Katakis), Crush, Iridis Alpha, Zynaps, Lions of the Universe, Catalypse, Uridium and Uridium Plus, Delta (a little bit Marmite, that one), Subterranea, Slayer, Wizball... and that's just horizontally scrolling shoot 'em ups off the top of my head. =-)

Add Turrican, Turrican 2 and Turrican 3, Creatures, Mayhem in Monsterland, Hunter's Moon, Marauder, Citadel, Paradroid (preferably the Metal Edition), Cybernoid and Cybernoid 2, Flimbo's Quest, Snare, Intensity or Morpheus for good measure and that'll do for starters!

With nearly a decade of commercial viability the 64 has a pretty massive library, its tough to narrow it down! For me essential classics I'd recommend are:

Space Taxi
Jumpman/Jumpman Jr.
Fort Apocalypse
Seven Cities of Gold
Impossible Mission
Pirates!
Paradroid
Defender of the Crown
Project Firestart
Wasteland
Pool of Radiance

For me, it was Ultima IV...
First RPG that was more than hunt or hack/slash. Really pulled me in...

I spent a lot of time on that game.

I appreciated a lot of the action games, but I wasn't any good at them. :-)

Conan cool! I played that one, it is fun. Normally Bruce Lee steals the attention.
Zorro I haven't got the hang of yet. Space Taxi is a classic... but I left it off my list
as it becomes very difficult later in the game, and I get slightly tired of playing it?
But it's a great game.

Jumpman is excellent as well, Trolls and Trib.. never played but heard that title before...
what's it about? what kinda game is that?

Yeah Conan was actually really cool, I had a lot of fun playing it even with its slow down issues (when too many enemies are on the screen). Zorro is good too but its got more of a puzzle element to it (the caverns are tricky) which I liked.

Trolls and Tribulations is a fantastic side-scrolling platformer. It was the game I was hooked on before Super Mario Brothers came out. :) That is one game that is a must have for me. I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars!

Trolls:

I'm not sure how I'd pick my top 10. Nice to see some oddball stuff like Trolls & Tribulations mentioned - I always liked that one. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Stuart Smith's Adventure Construction Kit
Racing Destruction Set
Beach Head
Raid Over Moscow
Summer/Winter/World/California Games
Temple of Apshai (series)
Jumpman/Jumpman Jr.
Bard's Tale
Dr. J vs. Larry Bird One-on-One
Archon
Lazarian (the only c64 game I have on cart)

Conan is a good one, although its funny how in the game Conan throws swords, kinda like the game was supposed to be another title but renamed when they got the license. It has some puzzle aspects to the levels that I like but I havn't been able to find a completely working rom of it, they all seem to crash in the higher levels.

I'd also add Elite to my original list of favorites.

So many great games!

Let's see, I'll keep it to a top 5, in no particular order:

The Last Ninja
The Way of Exploding Fist
International Soccer
Maniac Mansion
Impossible Mission I and II

Ok, let's make it 6 titles... :P

I think I may have a working rom but I'm not entirely sure cause I haven't tested all of them. For me it used to crash after the waterfall level I think or after the level with the flying dragons when it asks to swap disks.
