[@luxdico]

i sold my C64 to get an amiga in 1987 ... i knew these 1990-games from the amiga, it's cool to see how they looked on the c64. thx 4 da upload.

[@retrononame]

Thank you!

[@Simon0]

Wow so many of my favourites in this list. Creatures, rainbow islands, turrican and midnight resistance. Great year for c64 games

[@dennyhaynes3]

I never realised Xenomorph got a C64 release. Some absolute bangers in this list. Great video as always.

[@retrononame]

Thank you! As always, I tried to include a few lesser known, but still good games (at least in my opinion).

[@BAZFANSHOTHITSClassicTunes]

Flimbo's Quest is a game i still play to this very day in 2023. Awesome graphics and that SID is music to my ears.

[@retrononame]

Flimbo is one of those games that really show what can be done with the machine. Fantastic title!

[@KingofPotatoPeople]

I’ll never understand why Commodore Format gave it such a mediocre score

[@westmcgee9320]

Doggonit. Now I’m going to have to play it. Dang you all. 😅

[@Zett76]

I almost played them all. I forgot how much fun I had with all those top view racing games... And how much time I've wasted playing diplomacy. :)

[@angelplayz5783]

Man some of these games look better than 8 bit Nintendo games! 😮 Glad there is so much more retro games to discover out there.

[@retrononame]

Yeah some of them really look great. B.A.T. screens, Flimbo, Creatures... it shows that (good) programmers really knew the machine by 1990.

[@westmcgee9320]

@@retrononame FINE. I’ll try those games, too. Stop twisting my arm! 😊

[@marcin.the.gamer.]

Great lists , you can download by watching selected titles on the move. Sets by year, that is great.

[@retrononame]

Thank you!

[@eterenostalgia5088]

Fantastic old games ! 👍

[@CaptainRufus]

As someone who had a C64 in 90 most of these I never played. And these days most of them you wouldn't want to play on a C64 anyhow. Tbf at this point even the Amiga was dead in the US and it was a DOS PC or Genesis/SNES world. Not that I wasn't playing rpgs on my NES, C64, and Genesis mind you. But the ol 64 was past its due date by now. Long past though damn if developers couldn't make it punch above its weight. (Tbf there are some NES games that almost look like Amiga titles. Enough time and talent yo.)

[@Mikewee777]

64 bit gaming has never been good before 2010.

[@Edgel-in6bs]

Superb video as ever. Had a fair few of these. Never liked Turrican though, always thought it a very flash technical demo which wasn't fun.

[@retrononame]

Thank you! I actually like Turrican :) Mad shooting spree, but the game still gives you the feeling that you are (at least somehow) in control of the action.

[@merman1974]

Got most of those, a great list

[@retrononame]

Thank you!

[@NorthGameGod]

Great list, but I miss Ultima IV/V

[@retrononame]

This list if only for games released in 1990. Check other "Top 50 C64 games" videos on this channel and you'll find Ultima as well ;)

[@NorthGameGod]

@@retrononame true! I missed the title, sorry ^^U

[@coverallfan]

Champions of Krynn is one of my all-time favorites, although I played it on Amiga. 😍

[@retrononame]

Agreed. Fantastic game on all platforms!

[@drg5352]

All the Gold Box games were really great games of their times. Champions of Krynn was the first RPG I ever managed to beat on my own, followed by Treasures of the Savage Frontier. I played them with the DOS versions; not as pretty as the Amiga but still solid.

[@retrononame]

First game from Krynn series I got very far with it (almost finished but not quite :) ) was Dark Queen Of Krynn - and also on DOS PC. It also looked great in VGA 256 colors. Fantastic series!

[@marcin.the.gamer.]

Awesome lists

[@retrononame]

Thank you muchly!

[@boerekyufka255]

Ne schöne Runde Kaiser, Teacher Buster oder Mafia Sensibel Soccer oder auch Commando und Stunt Car Raser.

[@dr.ignacioglez.9677]

I LOVE C64 ❤😎👍

[@n3whous3]

Creatures was so awesome

[@retrononame]

Agreed!

[@n3whous3]

@@retrononame And creatures 2 was even more a favorite to me (although that didn't have those long levels, somehow I missed that though)

[@MC-kz9we]

Wonder if you can help. I have a Konix speedking joystick here, when I plug it into my C64 of the fire buttons makes the character go right...the other makes it go left... the direction stick does nothing do you have any idea what the joystick would work on going by that information?

[@retrononame]

Sorry, no clue why this would be happening. Maybe some other viewer will see your comment and will know why this is happening.

[@ilmediosu]

open it and check for cables short circuiting and microswitches rightly connected.

[@boerekyufka255]

Sind schon paar geile Spiele mit dabei

[@tofik5939]

[@n3whous3]

Powerdrift is 1989

[@retrononame]

Not according to Lemon64 and C64online databases. They both state that Powerdrift was released in 1990. I usually go with Lemon64 for my videos, but I understand that some data could be wrong there as well.
