Good games for C64?

[GoldenBear]

I've never played one of these things before and would like to d/l an emulator to try it out. Anyone have any suggestions on games to try it out with?

If you could find them:

Autoduel
Mail Order Monsters
Racing Destruction Set
Colonial Conquest
Lords of Conquest

Just to name a few...

This is off the top of my head, but here goes:
Mule (an all-time classic!), Forbidden Forest, GI Joe (esp. the PvP), Hitchhiker?s Guide to The Galaxy (text-only, co-written with Douglas Adams, funny as the book), Way of The Exploding Fist, Paradroid, Beach-head, Summer Games, Archon (another all-time classic), Jumpman, Jumpman Jr., Raid Over Moscow, Spy Vs. Spy (the first and the best), Seven Cities of Gold, Elite (still an all-time favorite), Commando (the remixed music is an enduring classic), Bop & Wrestle, Gunship, Summer Games II, Winter Games, California Games, Archon II: Adept, Silent Service, The Last Ninja (some of my favorite game music ever), Pool of Radiance (best on the C=64), Pirates!, International (World) Karate Champion, Airborne Ranger, Platoon?

Were it not for Shogun: Total War, I?d probably be playing a few of these myself-ah, the good old days?

Anything Epyx ... even the sculpted joystick that clicked! Oh, the good ol' days.

Hey, where is my GEOS disk?

Hehe, good ole' GEOS-old billg shoulda taken notes, if Berkeley Softworks could do a GUI in 64K, why couldn't MS?

 

[SUOrangeman]

I remember writing at least one term paper in high school with geoWrite. That thing was awesome!

-SUO

Paradroid.

I *still* spend hours playing that game....

 

[HayZeus 2000]

Yep, I can't tell you how pissed off I was when I beat the whole ship and found out-there was a second one waiting! Doh!

 

[PCAddict]

I miss my old Commodore stuff. I loved many of those games that were listed above. I had GEOS, FastLoad, and all of that good stuff.

 

[SUOrangeman]

How about Beach Head and Beach Head 2?

-SUO

 

[HayZeus 2000]

Man, BH2 was great for hours of one on one, as long as your friends weren't the whiner types when they lost! I always loved being the dictator-especially the laugh you got out of him when he dropped the bomb on someone's head!

anybody have Necromancer or Druid II ?? man those games were awesome, i cant believe they pulled off such great stuff in 64k of RAM, what a great computer that was, took about 10 years before that thing became obsolete, it was $99 new, sheesh today you spend $2,000 + on a new system and its old news in a year, barely usable after 2.
