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

[@Commodore64Man]

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

[@Mahlercougar]

Me too.. There is.. Emotions that tie me to the C64 (my first computer in 1985)

[@elijahmonn3757]

For me too. I played some great games. Paradroid was my favourite 😋

[@paulschneider7271]

Me too XD

[@AlcatrazHR]

Same!!!

[@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.

[@MiksuK]

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

[@antoninsebera152]

I miss the times when everything was so simple like Commodore and its games.

[@halabardsznept3897]

I wanted to thank you. I got into commodore 17 years ago thanks to this video and have owned my computer for a few years now. It was thanks to this video that I experienced the best decision which was to focus on getting a C64. I was still going to school at the time I was 13-14 years old I could not afford to buy a machine. In 2020 I finally bought ^^ I hope it's a good feeling to know that thanks to you there is one more c64 fan :D much cheers

[@AERIEDM]

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.

[@eahp02]

Sweet memories. I used to play Blue Max. #54. Legendary.

[@AAvfx]

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

[@MinogFarted]

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 :)

[@Vectrex4Life]

READ THE DESCRIPTION! OR ACTIVATE THE TRANSCRIPT!

[@hehahi]

when i was a kid we had SNES and it was awesome.. now i'm 18 i'm curious about older games & game industry! it's fascinating how games have come from pac-man to nowadays

[@mickthomas6242]

We used to pirate these games en-masse back in high school. Those were the days.

[@SpartanMFP]

C64 ruled in its day. The Last Ninja was one of the best

[@mikecios]

Still playing most of them with my kids ;) on a real c64 , 1541II ;)

[@tomaniajarek]

mikecios.. Mam na strychu 🙄 kiedyś muszę podłączyć

[@mikecios]

Nie kiedyś tylko jak najszybciej :D

[@morgaen]

Dobsze, Salute from cologne .the best is lazy Jones ,archon, and boulder dash .C64 :jest najlepszy

[@morgaen]

@Otto Sieveking Hello,wir sind alle STOLZ auf dich. ,Internet Anonymität ist schon eine gute Erfindung. Aber auf der STRASSE muss du dich das trauen, (mit Argument ).fahr mal auswärts ,,,, Herr Otto. .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cyaeghax]

I remember my grandfather when i was 6 years old buying this machine and me playing all day.. how many memories

[@animayi]

@ 4:19 I totally remember that game. Donald Duck did odd challenges to earn money to build a playground for his nephews! Oh wow, that was so long ago when floppy disks were actually floppy! Also the game @ 9:08 the last boss always scared me as a kid. You had to wait for the lightning to fire an arrow at him but if you wait too long he gets too close and you're history. Thanks so much for the nostalgia!

[@csp1977]

Boulder Dash at 3:00, used to always play that in the library at grade school in the late 80's.

[@chrisbjorn825]

I put on this video sometimes just to listen to the soundtrack. I miss the 80´s.

[@InsaneMetalSoldier]

How many years could the comodore 64 be considered NOT obslete? Some of this games have graphics that look pretty impresive for the time to me o.0

[@mysticwandererful]

***** Classics never obslete friend:) it's like best quality old French, İtalian, Greek, Turkish, İranian wine (whatever.. :) ) or Classical concert (whatever again :)) ) I think this type of games gain more and more popilarty in time..

[@carpii]

FuckYouGoogle - oh no, that’s so sad. He seemed like a great dude

[@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.

[@veli-pekkakultanen2353]

Archon, Ultima, International karate, Barbarian, Boulder dash, ... No current game on console can compete with these.

[@porticellaceci1]

I think it's missing Friday 13th. Loved that game!

[@javieraristin]

Thank you so much for this nostalgic memories in 10 mins!

[@Lederfresser]

Memories, oh my god so much good memories ! Thx for posting this !

[@SeleNazzy]

freaking nostalgia... i feel like if i touch my old commodore i would cry :(

[@maricate]

05:58 Race Destruction Set. I had never even heard of this game, I'm not at the time of the Commodore, but when I saw in these video I was sure that Rock and Roll Racing was inspired by him.

[@PolishZeus]

This is a great video to remind me of many classics that I had forgotten about! I did notice that #53 (at 5:18) isn't Airborne Ranger. Still greatly appreciate sharing this!

[@krukan6]

Its Army Moves right?!

[@vjludovico]

Damn I miss that commando music, that was some tense stuff.

[@Radek0582]

Best compilation ever!

[@elbandito5411]

Wow. I really miss these games. I loved playing these. Lots of greats. Why can't they remaster these? Wish I could play it now. My 64 games won't load any more.

[@WindupAtheist]

I had a C64 for years and a ton of games for it, but I only owned 3 that were on this list. There were just SO MANY DAMN GAMES for the thing.

[@TrustaMann]

The game at 2:43 reminds me of Super Mario Brothers for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

[@mysticwandererful]

yes.. it's a clone.. "the great gianna sisters"..:)

[@JamesBond-te5wr]

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

[@fuzzywzhe]

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.

[@nawletorre7136]

best personal computer ever

[@lordevyl8317]

To me it's a tossup between my C64 and my Amiga 500. . Both of course by Commodore.

[@tg22sas1]

I loved my c64

[@SwingGuy007]

Good times. Love Space Taxi. Remembered endless nights playing Guantlet. Defender of the Crown and Law of the West were amazing. Impossible Mission, Goonies and Aztec Challenge were nuts! Some others not here that I like: Rampage, Strip Poker, Test Drive 1, 2, and 3, Space Harrier, Double Dragon, and My Hero.

[@freeballs2006]

Maniac Mansion, Ghosts & Goblins, Last Ninja, Commando, Airborne Ranger, ahhh memories!

[@SirJoeStairs]

20 : combat School and 53 IS NOT Airborne Ranger

[@AnthonyFlack]

53 is Army Moves.

[@Horzuhammer]

I thought 20. looked like a bit too gnarly game of M.U.L.E. :D

[@brunost77inminecraft]

I just bought a Commodore 64, its funny to use.

[@ObnovaDomu]

10 PRINT "HELLO" 20 GOTO 10 Welcome my fellow programmer =D

[@75lucario]

0:48 i`ve never forget the 2 Player mode, that was great!

[@Polehillwanderer77]

Agreed, played it with my little bro' when I was 10, play it with my daughter today! Long live the C64!!

[@GmanMilli]

I'm glad these are spread 5 seconds apart, so when a label shows right arrow will fast forward to the next game, left arrow to the previous game.

[@bensmith5612]

Ghostbusters was the shit! You'd wait an hour for it to load, then it would crash and flash mad random colours on the screen, then you'd have a seizure on the floor. Good days

[@chasingdragons1933]

didn't it ask you for social security number too??

[@mikemata4244]

omg...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....its so funny because its true. I miss my commodore though

[@Csili86]

True true hahahhahha

[@limitededition7200]

Now that a gaming experience these kids today with their photo realism graphics will ever understand.

[@marcusjmanc]

I never had that problem with Ghostbusters! But I would leave it on the splash screen through the entire song and hit spacebar to make it say, "GHOSTBUSTERS!!" over and over again.

[@lnventlve]

I recognized 19 of 100.... Not bad. Many of those remembered were long forgotten memories. Thanks for the vid!!

[@faqabunchathisnoise7366]

Consider that your video is a time machine (well, at least a time capsule)…almost everyone that experienced the 80’s would give up body parts to time travel back to that time. My 64 died a long time ago. Not sure I’d want to play these games today, but this video reminds me of the days when did play them. Oh, and by the way, the song is epic!

[@polteran]

Missing Paperboy

[@PercyandSailorMoonfan2002]

+Rik Rok And Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends!

[@pikavippivertailu]

Hienoja träkkejä :)

[@kullezkuppandere7887]

On tosi ku ois itelläki commodore Vittu!

[@compphysgeek]

anybody else think that the C64 is the best gaming platform?

[@Allupertti]

I have a c64 emulator :)

[@morksnerd5359]

Umm... yeah about 36 years ago

[@sadikmeah4057]

Nostalgic, but wow how far we have come with games. In saying that nothing can beat pitstop. The tyre burst was hilarious!!!!!

[@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)...

[@Spiral81C1]

This was the first video game system I ever saw. I am 32 and a die hard video game fan and it is a cool feeling to know that video games were born around the same time I was and I could watch them grow as I grew.

[@HeyLaserLips]

Same here! I wanted a NES as a kid but my parents couldn't afford one so got me a C64 instead. Yay for £2.99 games! xD

[@BigALittleARon]

Great! Thanks for putting captions on what games they are. There were some I didn't recognize. But I just wanted to point out that #53 is Army Moves, not Airborne Ranger. Both were fun though!

[@caspice]

Please make a new video showing the names for the games.

[@Juganawt]

Unfortunately that won't be possible. He committed suicide in April 2015.

[@Juganawt]

...and if you turn on annotations, it shows the game names

[@303storm]

that is sad

[@JohnLennon100]

Thanks for bringing back those old memories. C64 really revolutionized the whole myth of computers, at that tiem. Now EVERYBODY was able to own a computer and learn Basic ...very cool ...

[@KarchK]

wow, some games here I did not see or think about in ages, I used to love barbarian and space taxi too!

[@Ivories7878]

:33 Vendetta! Haven't seen that in decades..Classic game

[@iycgtptyarvg]

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!

[@Marco.G.TerradiSiena]

That "kinda music" you decided to use as bgm ruined the clip, IMHO. Old memories (and a potential nice videoclip) ruined. And I wont to mute it to watch it.

[@foxgloves321]

It was awesome. You have no soul

[@mbtemlett]

disliked in the first 2 seconds, wanted to hear the soundtracks of the games not some rubbish music instead

[@jolie1407]

Rubbish music? Still 3 of the best c64 tunes...

[@lordevyl8317]

jolie1407 He means the ORIGINAL SIDs, not shitty REMIXES like is on this video

[@jolie1407]

mbtemlett The original sids are unbeatable, no doubt about it. Still, the remixes are very much decent. Just check out remix64 community for example. A lot of talented guys do a great job experimenting with good old classic sids 😊

[@DanafoxyVixen]

"wanted to hear the soundtracks of the games not some rubbish music instead" such a snowflake

[@steam-powereddolphin5449]

Games I recognize on this list: 0:42 Arcon: The Light and The Dark 0:48 Bubble Bobble 1:06 Bruce Lee 2:30 Impossible Mission (not to be confused with Mission: Impossible) 2:36 Usagi Yojimbo 3:00 Boulder Dash (not sure which one) 3:12 Wizard of Wor 3:18 Montezuma's Revenge 4:00 Space Taxi 5:06 Gauntlet 5:18 Blue Max 6:00 Lode Runner (it even says so!) 6:24 Jumpman 8:18 Spy Hunter 8:14 Ghostbusters 9:06 Forbidden Forest (been SO long since I'd seen it!)

[@Silentchap]

That was a truly nostalgic experience. Thank you for giving me a chance to see some old favorites one more time.

[@khaosterminator]

that brought back some memories, Zak McKracken FTW!

[@Turboflabs]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Kind of disappointed Caveman Ugh-Lympics was not on the list.

[@bartczak06]

Street Rod, Scenario, North & South, Steel Thunder, River Raid, Cabal, FireTrap... best games i ever played ;-)

[@97channel]

@necrogenesis1981 The C64 was developed to be an arcade engine. But the project was abandoned at a late stage and the result of the work got hastely re-routed into becoming the successor of the VIC20. The longevity of the lifespan of the C64 saw programmers eventually using every trick in the book, and then some, to try and compete with the 16-bits. So although you'll never see exact 16-bit standards on the C64, it's certainly very easy to see their influence in many later games.

[@spingleboygle]

i honestly wonder how much time and pain it took to code all of these amazing games.

[@2timesM]

Last game is Flimbo's Quest my all time favourite platform game on any system and best looking game on C64.

[@Retro-Hamer]

The graphics still hold up well. Long live the C64!!!

[@MrOoBAZoO]

Spy vs spy was so good me and my brother spent ages playing it.

[@XxStonedKillerxX]

Gaming has come a loooooong way, get's me excited for what's still left for the future.

[@laffer35]

@unox234 No, there was a variety of applications for it as well as games. It's a computer, not a gaming console - so it has what you would expect a personal computer from back then to have... but I do believe gaming is primarily what made it so popular, though.

[@und3ni3d]

I don't know if 20. Combat School is missing on purpose on the infolist but LOOVED the game! Hi from 2021! The music was great, and watching a video from the game, I never completed it argh..

[@jaretmane]

Thanks for the help, 97channel. Im not sure if the game is Borrowed time, i dont remember there being commands that you "click" on, but i remember "typing" in commands, like "N" for NOrth, etc. The game is almost identical to borrowed time, thanks a lot!

[@aaronross1859]

DUDE you rock for this. Also helped me remember more titles for my raspberry pi to run

[@lovenlightman]

Commodore 64 had great games and music. Jump man,Run man, Rambo(loved the music) Commando. The games were hard to finish.

[@elijahmonn3757]

Rambo did have great background music. I can hear it in my head now after 35-40 years. Great times and memories

[@DetectiveDickBent]

Really enjoyed this thx. There was a game I was looking for tho, all I can remember of it was the games population were little hats with feet, and there was a virus or something spreading over the US and your task was to somehow top this taking over. You travelled from city to city looking for clues and stuff. Can't for the life of me remember the name, and I'm not sure if its was on C64 or Amiga. Pretty sure it was C64.

[@mentorManUtd]

My favourite games: 1. Spy vs Spy (6:07) 2. Donald Ducks Playground (4:19) 3. Aztec Challenge (8:31) 4. Bruce Lee (1:07) 5. Tusker (4:37) 6. Leaderboard Golf (2:07) 7. Boulder Dash (3:01) 8. Grand Prix Circuit (5:31) 9. Ghostbusters (8:55) 10. IK+ (0:07)

[@janetpreece145]

My favourite Commodore 64 games were Motor Mania, Krystals Of Zong, Booty, Beamrider and many others. They were the good old days, but the tape games took ages to load, didn't they. Fantastic memories seeing those games again.

[@pe25]

That musis is so catching 🎶🎵thank you & for this trip back in time!

[@kiekert2007]

god that brings back memories. last ninja,maniac mansion,zack mccracken,commando,.usagi yojimbo.bruce lee, bubble bobble,mission impossible,aztec challenge,yie ar kung fu. platoon,international karate plus,barbarian,ghouls and ghosts.,summer games,lol.. so many good titles and lot's of fun.

[@VelidBiH]

We miss you and your awesome videos, buddy. :(

[@thesonglessbird]

4:54 and 5:18 are two of my all time favourite games.

[@jet5fi]

This just brings tears to my eyes, so many good memories in here

[@Travisarespicy]

I never had one of these systems, but I'm fascinated by them. The music in alot of C64 games is awesome, and the graphics can be pretty impressive. Some games look ancient, but some are pretty stylish. Makes me wonder what some tech-geeks could pump out on it graphically now.

[@Krafton]

Awesome to see Tusker get a mention! Loved the music from that game.

[@avenqer]

Raid Over Moscow, M.U.L.E., Music Shop and Strip Poker I was expecting to see. But this was a nice walk down memory lane.

[@mwbenedict6297]

thank you. that was amazing. I remember most of the games. we used to be huge into the 64. miss those days.

[@huxleypig69]

So many great games! I think, if I had to pick one, it would be Last Ninja II. Or Super Pipeline II, Or Creatures. Or Skate or Die. Or Bubble Bobble. Or Hypersports...Dammit, there are so many!

[@migor777]

Read the video description for the song and game titles! The soundtrack consists of these three songs, all by Instant Remedy : 1.Flimbo's Quest game soundtrack 2.Commando game soundtrack 3.Game On (Issue 0989)

[@VFXcrete]

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

[@KiR_3d]

Soon... soon I'll get my joysticks by mail :) I've bought C64 thinking that probably all C64 games are like in Spectrum "Sinclair, Kempston, Keyboard" :D Now I can only play few cool games for keyboard. But it's sound capabilities are impressive! It's the reason why I've bought it. Actually I've didn't suspected how cool are C64 games. Some of them for sure!

[@neon_one]

Goonies is a great little game puzzle experience

[@thejemgirlchannel1585]

I had fun guessing some of these. I LOVED the C64 as a kid! It was the first computer our family got & my brother & I & cousins & friends used to have the best fun playing it and of course copying 'deskettes' from our buddies & buying 1 sided disks & cutting out another hole to make them double sided. :P I still play the old games now and then :)

[@Hate_wagon]

Frostbite is the only one i wanted to see that didnt show. good video mate

[@GypsyLeah]

SO MANY MEMORIES

[@stalez5250]

Lovely vid. Trip down memory lane.

[@leefiles]

Holy crap! I still remember the titles to a lot of those games!

[@MaynardKeenanX]

best com64 i played as a kid was by far Turrican...man...that lightning gun was so awsome!

[@streeter081]

Happy 30th Birthday commodore 64, it changed my life.

[@Xorkel]

For anyone interested the music is from "Instant Remedy". He's totally awesome and you can find the songs on Spotify.

[@alexshepherd]

I laughed out loud at 3:54 when I recognised the music as a dance remix of Commando... awesome. Thanks for making this video!

[@ilijastoka]

Oh my...The memories I have about that first ninja game was when the war started in our country...I was playing that game and my mother said...Son I got something to tell you..War has started..

[@Lunatick666]

Kickstarter 2.. i have been looking for that title for 20 years.. finaly found it. Thanks for the video mate

[@satan3959]

It's Kickstart 2 not Kickstarter 2
