Top 100 New Wave Commodore 64 Games

[@yaroombabilly]

I'm only 50 minutes in and I've already added so many titles to my wish list. It's incredible the quality of some of these releases. Thanks for putting this together Bastich B!

[@BastichB64K]

No problem dude , im glad you finding lots of cool stuff

[@caeserromero3013]

Milly and Molly is one of the best games I've ever played on C64. So addictive (if frustrating at times). Carleton Handley makes great games. I also loved his Runn & Gunn. I played Mario and Sonic to death when they came out also, but currently the game I'm enjoying most is Icicle Race, a conversion of the NES Fire and Ice. Great puzzle game.

[@BastichB64K]

Yeah great games , I especially live Runn n Gunn

[@Leimi81]

Your video has transported me back to the golden era of C64 gaming, and it's the perfect complement to the snowy and frosty weather here in Finland. I'm looking forward to spending the Christmas break with these games, enjoying the cozy atmosphere with a cup of mulled wine and the delightful taste of gingerbread cookies. Thanks again for the nostalgic journey!

[@BastichB64K]

Thanks you very much 🕹️👍

[@arizimny4538]

Thank you for that movie! It's just amazing. This is the best C64 channel on YT.

[@BastichB64K]

Cheers dude , thank you very much 😀😀

[@gideonmarkus8501]

Unbelievable how many excellent games are made for a 40+ years old machine. As a eight year old kid in 84 I could not have imagined this...😵‍💫

[@BastichB64K]

I know I dont think anyone could have predicted it

[@StuartCollier]

Thats one heck of a video! Thats so much work into producing it! Brilliant

[@BastichB64K]

Cheers it was quite a bit 😂😂 . Thanks for all the great games 🕹️

[@Bartheek_W_1983]

Great video. I have played many of the games featured in this material, but have some catching up left to do. 39:50 - Organism. I was looking for this game but couldn't remember the title. Thank you for reminding me. 2:41:38 - Nice easter egg. 🙂

[@BastichB64K]

Cheers , thank you for watching

[@OperationPhantom]

Super cool you made this! It's a good year for it too I suppose. Haven't watched it all yet but it highlights so many great games to discover. Everybody would rank them somewhat differently I guess but that's the beauty of it; this is a great anthology. Cheers!

[@BastichB64K]

Thx , yeah the order is subjective but kinda irrelevant really , as long as people discover new C64 games to play thats all that matters. Cheers for watching 🕹️👍

[@OperationPhantom]

@@BastichB64K Absolutely! An excellent video to come back to again (and again) over time.

[@daniellomblock6216]

Amazing video as usual and will need to re-watch this weekend just to take it all in. This must have taken you AGES to make! Hadn't played Runn-n-Gunn yet but will definitely need to. Polar Bear did get a great upgrade on cartridge and agree is VERY playable now. Hoping their black edition comes out soon because I hear there will be new music with it. A Pig Quest is a work of art. Many more possibilities now with the big cartridges that store so much data!

[@BastichB64K]

Yeah it took a while to say the least 😂😂😂 enjoy Run n Gun its awesome 👍

[@retrogamedreamer8761]

What an incredible video!! Thank you so much for all your efforts into this one. I’m sure this will be enjoyed and appreciated for many years to come.

[@BastichB64K]

Cheers dude thank you , just hope it helps C64 fans discover how cool the new wave scene is 🕹️👍

[@SamTaylors]

I love all the amazing content you share! And this epic is like the ultimate Christmas gift to us C64 fans. Thank you!

[@BastichB64K]

Cheers thanks , lots of cool games to check out

[@Waterboyofsuperman]

Excellent compilation video as per your usual very high standard. You’re truly one of my favorite retro gaming channels. In addition to all of the excellent games, I really like the “aw shucks” humility at the end of the video where you say what’s really most important is what’s our favorite games, and that this list could serve as a guide. I really like that a lot. Thanks much!

Fantastic work as always mate! - Wow! - such a huge video! - I'm having to enjoy it in shorter blasts, but just wow!... Hugely informative and entertaining (not to mention eye opening!) as always, and thank you for bringing all of these great releases to our attention - I'm aware of some of them, but many are new, and even the ones that I knew about are given a wonderful highlight, making me want to try them ALL out! Keep up the great work, too bad I can only subscribe and like once! :( EDIT: Love the outro SID track! - will have to grab that, what a great C64 rendition of the original!!

[@BastichB64K]

Thank you very much , enjoy it and take your time but have a pen and paper handy ... There's a lot of games there 🤣🤣

[@BastichB64K]

My pleasure sir , cheers for watching it

[@MentatOfDune]

Great list. I have about 15 that I really want to try this weekend. For me Metal Warrior Ultra is a top 3 game with Steel Ranger being a top 10 but love your highlights. Still waiting on Protovision to sort out the issues with the physical release before I play Pigs Quest. Tiny Quest and Nixy, the Glade Sprite would be on my list too.

[@BastichB64K]

Yeah so many games , there's lots I still left out which is crazy but hopefully you found a few new ones to try 🕹️👍👍

[@jammerc64]

Absolutely the best modern C64 games compilation out there! ❤ Splendid and massive work!

[@BastichB64K]

Cheers thank you

[@AnthonyFlack]

I assume "fuel" was changed to "oil" because the sprites have a lower horizontal resolution and he couldn't fit the letters "FUEL" on the side of the tanks.

[@BastichB64K]

Yeah somebody suggested that , definitely the reason I think 👍👍

[@rob4222]

Baby Jack is a good Bomb Jack clone too and has a nice tune. Another great less known game from the Double Density guys

[@BastichB64K]

Excellent runthrough. Nice to hear the interviews with the devs. So many great new games for the C64 and a well deserved Number 1.

[@BastichB64K]

Great video thanks. I have spent my Saturday night playing Rock Star Ate My Hamster Millennium ( Still cant get more than 2 gold discs!)

[@BastichB64K]

😂😂👍 its a easy game to get into but tough to beat for sure 🕹️

[@Ianhilts667]

Really enjoying this. regarding the Scramble v1.14 conundrum. It is just a guess but could it be purely due to the number of pixels available for the FUEL dump sprite? OIL Could be created from 8 pixels and FUEL would need more.

[@BastichB64K]

Yeah it definitely is that a programmer mentioned the exact same thing , i never thought of it from that perspective 👍🕹️

[@dennyhaynes3]

Amazing that we're coming into 2024 and the games keep coming for all Retro computers and 16 bit consoles. My personal number one would be Eye of the beholder, an amazing feat and a favourite game on the Amiga and PC. I would also put the stunning Commando and Ghost n Goblins arcade conversions into the top 10, hopefully they will do more of these type of conversations. Here's to 2024 and beyond.

[@BastichB64K]

It's a good time to be a retrogamer , so many fantastic options , better than the new consoles to be honest

[@Steeento]

I finally managed to watch the entire episode, I was astonished to find out that we share the love for the same game and a very similar destiny about it: few years ago I played again some old C64 games (Lightforce's music was still in my head since I was 4) on Vice for the first time since childhood, then I stumbled upon new games,I played Knight n Grail and I find it so beautiful I decided to buy a real C64 (then a new power adapter, then new video cables, then a few new tapes, then a SD2IEC, then a Ultimate II, then mods, then new c64s, etc.) I'm writing down lists about new C64 games (ports, clones, remakes, homages, sequels) reimagening a C64 launch and this video was full of infos, thanks! It would be interesting a serie of videos about all these new developers and publishers.

[@BastichB64K]

Man, if someone could answer this question for me they would tick something off my bucket list :D I'm trying to remember a C64 game from my childhood. It had "sorcerer" somewhere in the title (I think?!) it was a side scrolling platformer. Must've been some time around '85-'90? The thing I remember most is that you had different weapons as the game progressed. The art style (at least as I remember it?) was somewhat similar to Ghouls'N'Ghosts if that helps any. I'm not expecting a miracle by any stretch but I figured I'd give it a shot :D Also, thanks for the awesome video :)

It could be Sorcery by Virgin games (1984) or maybe Spellfire the Sorcerer by Codemasters (1990) both are C64 ghosts n gobs knock offs 🕹️👍
