I had a ton of games for my C64 including winter games, mule, etc.

My problem is that I got an Amiga 500 a few years later and I started playing the flight sim and silent service on there... The graphics were a lot better on the 500. :p

I still have a few C64s at home somewhere. I had a couple of 1541 and 1581 disk drives too. (I was fortunate cause my father was an authorized commodore service repair man. :D)

F-19 Stealth Fighter, Hunt For Red October, or Boulderdash. It just depends.

Edit: The helicopter thing is Choplifter.

Jumpman, Wizard, and Lode Runner were my favorites. Especially Lode Runner. I played for hours at a time, and I had designed hundreds of my own levels.

I used to play Lode Runner using the keyboard, because you could shoot the opposite direction you were running. You'd need to turn around to shoot if you played using the joystick, because the C64 used the Atari-style one button joystick.

Yeah, I forgot about Neuromancer, too! That was a great game!
And Wasteland!
And most of the Infocom text-based games, I loved those. :D
