100 Commodore 64 games in 10 minutes!

www.c64audio.com/ - buy the music used in this video from that awesome site! Lots of other great music there too and DRM free music.
Well, I figured I might as well do a C64 one as well :)
I'm not 100% satisfied with this one though.. it's not as good as the Amiga one. The reason is that I made this one just after finishing the Amiga one and I was a little burnt out I guess.. got very sick of making this one almost right away.
It's stilld decent though so I hope some people can enjoy it at least :)
The soundtrack consists of these three songs, all by Instant Remedy -
Flimbo's Quest
Commando

From 1982 till 1990 I was glued to my chair as a kid, witnessing the birth of the gaming industry with my C64! ❤️🖖👍

[@InfoMingoMania]

Oh hey, i haven't seen you for a while

[@astrayamatu]

ahh we are from the same generation 83 here . and still gaming today great times back then . loved the c64 back then that my dad owned with a lot of pirated floppy`s and cassettes . and ofc with a lot of original games with there amazing box art

[@ashdoesthings]

I hear that :)

[@Commodore64Man]

C64 = pure love. I never felt that kind of emotion with any other computer I own(ed).

I am now software architect, but this was the beginning of all for me ... I was 7 and became this C64 for my Christmas present. This C64 did the same in the world as the intro of the Iphone as breaking point in history ... It was huge ... The SID music ship blows all away ... Tx Commodore for this brilliant ... gr from Holland

[@gimlireviews5088]

yeah. boulder dash, defenser of the crown, hours playing. inter karate and lot more not mentioning ocean games. these ones were loading much slower. and grand prix, olympic games and great creatures. there is lot more. microprose soccer, asterix, renegade..

[@MiksuK]

Oh man, those were the times. Thank you for this nostalgia trip!

[@novata01]

Reading some of these comments really puts the whole argument that the overall gameplay of a game was what made these games so memorable and addictive. Being an 80's teen, I so enjoyed my game playing childhood. Even the music from the sid chip was so inspiring. With Martin Galway and others making these games so playable, just so I could hear the music again and again. Wizball. Haha, I didn't mind dying in that game, purely for the guitar riff. Awesome.

[@Canaris3]

Back in the times when games were made with passion and heart, there was no DLC bullshit, no online only playing, no bullshit corporate restrictions on selling and trading games .... Fuck modern gaming business.

Amazing. I knew every game except maybe 5 or so. Also, there are many games I hoped to see but weren't in the video. I think if you do a 30 minutes video you would still have plenty of choices for great games. Thanks a bunch for this video, I LOVE it!

[@Radek0582]

[@laffer35]

@saintsteve72 Those of us who got C64 machines at a young age back in the 80s were very lucky, I think... so many awesome memories! Nothing beats the feeling of nostalgia one gets from playing C64 games... I'm happy this video seems to trigger that feeling of nostalgia in people, that was the goal of making it :) Out of the four 100 games in 10 minute videos I made, this one and the Amiga one are the two I definitely enjoyed making the most.

[@art2art]

I spent most of my free time from 6th grade to through high school on my C64. And I almost never played games on it, except for games I made myself. Computers were so much better back then. They did what you told them to, and they never did what you DIDN'T tell them to. Absolutely one of the best machines ever invented.

[@AngryCalvin]

Home Computers were amazing. I had friends with C64, Atari 800/XL, I had a TI994a. Those are some of the times I miss most in gaming and or having a computer. The game crashed happened and consoles took over. It was such a downgrade.

[@179107199999]

I never knew it had that type of graphics...I just remember Linking Logic and Tooth Invaders and Ernie's Magic Shapes.Wow....That Machine is a legend

[@OllyKilo]

The C64 and Amiga (and PCs of the time) had so much artistry in their games, almost pantomime like. Rare to find games with such panache nowadays, they're all so serious and risk free. LucasArts come back!

[@paul1979uk2000]

It's the reason why I perfer the C64 and the Amiga at the time compared to consoles, we saw a lot of games that just didn't happen on consoles, it's also great that you could do other things that are not gaming related on them, hence why I'm a PC gamer today, always like being able to do more then just game on them and having a bigger selection of games to choose from that are so diffrent.

[@DCHurlford1]

Totally agree. The C64 had so many memorable games and The Secret of Monkey of Island on the Amiga was classic.

[@VFXcrete]

Wow, thanks for the flash-back!! I learned my first programing language on Commodore64!! Amazing console!!

[@stalez5250]

Lovely vid. Trip down memory lane.

[@Crockettman82]

I'm 34 now. I had hundreds of games for the C64. From this list I only remember Impossible Mission; International Karate; Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior!!! (forgot about that one); Spy Hunter; Ghostbusters (with the weird VW Bug option); BC2: Grog's Revenge. Many of these I didn't play until the NES, and many others almost look like they are 16-bit games!

[@chasingdragons1933]

I had hundreds of games too and not a single one of these look familiar, I'm very confused

Nintendo sued and had all copies recalled from stores. Party pooper's if you ask me.

It should, the company that wrote it was sued by Nintendo and forced to withdraw it from the shelves. The game was extremely popular though, and widely pirated. I had a hack version that changed the sprites to look like Super Mario Bros.

[@paul1979uk2000]

More impressive is that I think they could only use about 32KB of memory because the rest was for basic.

[@StefanoBorini]

@@paul1979uk2000 You could disable basic and access the memory area. on the C64, you had 64 K of RAM, but the ROM was mapped to some address ranges. You could disable the ROM and the address interval was now referring to RAM. It was a single flag in a location on page zero, IIRC.

[@lordevyl8317]

Well certainly for the music alone it was better. The NES had five channels while the C64 had 3. However, the NES could only play one single channel at a time, giving it a MONAURAL sound, while the SID chip could play ALL THREE channels at once, and even at times (depending on who made the music, make it sound as if there were MORE than three channels, a true FM Synth sound.

[@no1Liikeglenn]

I Identify As A Commodore 64 Since I'm An Old Fart. Dont challange the console peasants!!!! It will be pitch forks and torches for you! I am of course JOKING.

[@HawkKing2000]

I had an Atari 400. Atari people liked to think that there was a rivalry between Atari and Commodore, but this demonstrates that the C64 was on a higher level entirely. It was closer to an NES than any early Atari... Also noticed the nudity in Stormlord (#63). I played it a lot on Genesis (cleaned up version)...

[@fatmike01]

awesome video man. And you ended with the best game of all! It;s amazing to see all those games. It always made me laugh though when I look back at some of the commodore games. Some look really pre historic and dead basic, while others looked as if they would of easily rivalled consoles in the early 90's. It's almost as if the developers had a more powerful machine under their fingers than they first realised, and later built games to the full potential. Great machine. Still have mine
