Top 10 Commodore 64 Games

[@LTJ]

Missing Barbarian! The only game ever where you decapitate someone...then a green goblin comes on, literally kicks the head off the screen...gobs off at the dead body...and drags the body off with it...tight gameplay and great graphics made this one of the best games on the C64, and arguably one of the best ever.

[@Audioholics]

Raid over Bungling Bay, Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, Karateka, Bop N Rumble, Beachhead, Raid Over Moscow...

[@tracer0017]

Bungling Bay was one of the best games IMO I played that for hours and hours as a kid

[@SharonaClarkeOfficial]

Impossible Mission --- my all-time favorite!! 😍

[@masteric123]

Ghostbusters was ahead of its time. Loved that game.

[@valeriodellamillia4471]

Typing Daniel45321 as your name at the beginning you would get a bunch of money to buy the best equipment

[@electrictroy2010]

@masteric123 IT looks lame on the screen. What was so great about it? .

[@gamingtonight1526]

Legend of Blacksilver, Ultima IV, Pool of Radiance and Gunship. Games for the brain, not for the wrist, was my cup of tea!

[@norakat]

It’s incredible the creativity of the programmers - you had to make entire game fit into 64k bits at a time. I think one of the best games on there - Lode Runner

[@ecernosoft3096]

bytes not bits! Also, you could have bank-switched cartridges holding up to 256^16,384 bytes!

[@electrictroy2010]

@ecernosoft3096 MOST games came loaded on disks. So the practical limit was 170 kilobytes times multiple disks

[@jc_malone8217]

International Karate really looks interesting. The sprites move so naturally, and the background was impressive, for The Commodore 64.

[@wouterhumme3051]

One of the best games back in the day yea, really responsive action.

[@tolopo99]

Used to play my buddy for hours. Excellent gameplay for any period

[@DavideNastri]

Plays like a king also today

[@johankaewberg9512]

IK+ . Whole other ballpark, great little fighting game. The satisfaction of doing a jumping split kick and taking out both opponents simultaneously…

[@orangehatmusic225]

Can't agree with anything on this list. Dude has #10 as Ghostbusters which is one of the worst games ever created. Hilariously shitty list. This must be a list of the top 10 worst games on the Commodore 64.

[@mcgendraft]

It’s probably almost impossible for any of us to agree on a top 10, as we all had different, most likely, awesome experiences with it. For me, the Epyx series (California Games/Winter Games etc) felt so far ahead of their time. Defender of the Crown was also an excellent game, along with Rocket Ranger, Strip poker, Racing Destruction Set, Ultima, Alternate Reality, Mail Monsters, Montezuma’s Revenge, Project Space Station, Beachhead, Super Huey, and Leisure Suit Larry! I bought a Aprotek 1200 bps modem, to replace my 300 bps one, just to download a Kathy Ireland picture.. all 16 colors of that pure goodness. If you squinted just right, it was epic. Sporting dual 1541’s and a ram expander.... nothing beat hitting enter on LOAD “*”,8,1

[@IsopropylRecordings]

I agree, Epyx Destroyer, now there we had a game ahead of its time. Hard but fun.

[@MegaasAlexandros]

You are correct. You hardly ever get everybody agreeing on any top 10 lists ie top 10 arcade conversions, top 10 fighting, top 10 race games, top 10 action adventure etc etc. The only thing people agree to is the Microprose Soccer and Emlyn Hughes were the best soccer games and as a shoot em up Armalyte is hard to beat.

[@totophi]

The Epyx sports series were hard to beat! Unfortunately I remember them beating the 1541 heads mercilessly... Racing Destruction Set was quite ambitious... if only loading times could have been improved. Montezuma’s Revenge! Perfect play mechanics, no disk access in-game... Many hours spent in bliss. 😎 Raid Over Moscow! Grand Prix Circuit! Snappy loading music! Decent physics! F-14 Tomcat!

[@MegaasAlexandros]

@@totophi grand prix circuit, awesome game. They did very well with that one. Montezumas revenge i played alot more on the apple 2e - on the school computers after school wholst probably telling my folks i was staying back late to study !!! Probably pretty much the same as the c=64 version.

[@BDHO73]

Defender of the Crown! Yes!

[@RetroTechSelect]

Great list. The C=64 was such an awesome machine!

[@ewoodrailway]

The last ninja 1 and 2 were incredible games for their time. I spent hours playing them. No mention of outrun..that was also decent on the C64.

[@jeeperscreepers8902]

The last ninja needed a Playstation controller. There were too many moves for just a stick and one button. The controls really sucked, and made me hate that game.

[@DavideNastri]

@@jeeperscreepers8902 Is keyboard an option?

[@electrictroy2010]

@jeeperscreepers8902 DIAGONAL games always suffer control issues. The digital joysticks of the day worked best with four directions (left, right, up, down). Not diagonal .

[@electrictroy2010]

@jeeperscreepers8902 ATARI 5200 had an analog joystick, but it made games like Pacman nearly unplayable. The N64 and PS1 eventually solved the problem by having BOTH digital pads & analog sticks. The player could choose which control worked best

[@jimmydigital]

I was amazed with international karate when I first played it. loved the physics of the fighting, the variation of strikes and the fact that you could knock your opponent onto their back, front or ass. it was also quite a realistic interpretation of karate based "point fighting".

[@sojan9576]

The Great Giana Sisters was one of my favs. Lots of hours spent on that.

[@martink4116]

Who would know that someone in 2019 will create a real Mario on C64

[@abelpapier]

1. The Great Giana Sisters 2. Raid Over Moscow 3. Summer and Winter Games 4. Target Renegade 5. Forbidden Forest

[@lordevyl8317]

Giana was good but I prefer platformers with a little more originality. Since Giana was essentially a ripoff of SMB, I never really got into it like I got into games like Creatures or even Impossible Mission for that matter.

[@dingalingmasterpiecetheater]

My favourites... Law of the West, Bruce Lee, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Friday the 13th, Ghostbusters and Strip Poker.

[@Axehilt]

Definitely a solid list. Some I enjoyed in no particular order: 1. Sword of Fargoal 2. Gateway to Apshai 3. Ultima 3 4. Racing Destruction Set 5. Commando 6. Spy Hunter 7. Raid on Bungeling Bay 8. Commando 9. Impossible MIssion 10. Seven Cities of Gold 11. M.U.L.E. 12. Silent Service We probably had 600+ games on that thing, it was _glorious_ for a kid growing up.

[@klavierfruhlingswochen4825]

My personal list (as far as I can recall and not in any order) - 3 Ace Fly Combat - Kennedy Approach - Blue Max - Summer Games - Defender of the Crown - Pirates - From Rags to Riches - Wizard of War - Archon 1 & 2 - M.U.L.E. - One on One - Elite - Space Taxi - Raid over Moscow - Kaiser - Rocket Ball - Choplifter

[@aratneerg1375]

Ghostbusters was so good. Great soundtrack too.

[@jimbehr2291]

Airborne Ranger, Microprose Soccer and Turrican 2, oh and Wonderboy....were amazing for me. Still have the C64 in the attic.

[@statesmanuel]

Pitstop was my favorite. at the race start, i moved over and dragged my tire against the computer drivers wheel until he got a flat. Sure, my tire was also worn, but still okay. I would go full speed to the finish line because it would take the computer driver so long to fix his tire. Drive Offensively!!

[@olafweyer859]

Holy, I'm so messed up, I even remember the Boulder Dash levels. Even the moves in places. In detail! :D

[@norakat]

[@ssdivizion]

Green Beret,Navy moves,Army moves,Who dares wins,Rick Dangerous 2,Fire Ant and many many more....

[@boboutelama5748]

Defender of the crown was one of my favourite games back then. It was such a complete game.

[@Del-Canada]

Crap, meant to list that in another comment. In my top five for sure. Pirates as well. So many memories.

[@btetschner]

Those games look very different. Looks like they could be fun. Thank you for the video.

[@rogerbabin8175]

Interesting list....several of these I never played while others I owned but wasn't as big a fan of as you. Some C64 games I loved but may not have the names for since I'm going off memory are: - Archon. I feel like this game deserved to continue on as a franchise over time. A really cool take on chess and battle chess that incorporates action. - Jumpman JR - Caveman Uglympics - A summer games style game done in a fantastic comedy theme - Oil Rig or something like that. Think snake meets pacman where you collect pellets from a central rig. Simple game concept. Super fun to play.

[@unreal2488]

Archon. Simply one of the top 3 games every made

[@mrkozbeyli]

Archon must be top 3

[@Wolf_K]

I remember having some of these games back in the mid 1980’s as a kid. ;)

[@Rheinmetall1]

Winter Games, Green Beret, Saboteur, Defender of the Crown, Target Renegade, Masters of the Universe, Buggy Boy, Last Ninja and Cauldron 1& 2 are my top 10 games.

Why do retro games give me the warm fuzzies?

[@danielcluley870]

When I was a kid with a Commodore 64, Spyhunter and Montezuma's Revenge were what we mostly played.

[@monkeywhite8010]

Bubble Bobble the best :D

[@alanfrost75]

The whole International Karate series was awesome. For me, Defender of the Crown makes the main list for sure. My list would also have had Silent Service, Gunship (that game took 45 minutes to load off a tape for me.. but holy crap it was advanced for its time), Micropose Soccer, Paper Boy, and Test Drive. Just off the top of my head.

[@nikpante]

What about Green Beret, Golden Axe, Paper Boy, Giana Sisters, The Train?

[@koenmortelvande1181]

Ace. My mate was the weaponsman. Can't imagine the hours we spent.

[@freethrillsdotcom]

I fully expected Impossible Mission to be there with the digitized voice. C64 with voice was incredible at its time. The biggest one that should have been on the list was Jumpman JR. It was the most simplistic and early game that never made it to the arcade. Everyone loved it. It came after Donkey Kong, but as far as I know was a game created for the C=64 only.

[@howard7073]

I really loved Elite, Mercenary, Booty, Bruce Lee, Shadowfire, Enigma Force, Beach Head 2, Raid over Moscow, Cauldron and probably more I have long since forgotten sadly.

Many Years i have C64...in Time from 1986 to 2000. My favorite games was : Paradroid (play every day), the Simulations "Gunship" and " Silent Service". Pit Stop 2 played, and the Western Shooter "West Bank"....by this was the Music GREAT ! German : Von 1986 bis 2000 hatte ich zwei C64 mit 2 Diskettenlaufwerken (1541) ...und 3 Diskettenboxen mit ca 300 Disketten. Paradoid habe ich mehrfach täglich gespielt und mein Rekord lag bei 1,5 Std Spieldauer, 7. Raumschiff und so 300.000 Punkten. Die Simulationen "Gunship" (Kampfhubschrauber Apache) und "Silent Service" (U-Boot) spielte ich sehr häufig und hatte da sogar Orignale ;-) Damals habe ich auch viel C64 MUSIK gesammelt und sehr viel gehört :-) Sogar auf Audio Kassetten aufgenommen... Als "kreativer Mensch" habe ich auch viel mit "Amica Paint" (Zeichen PRG mit den 16 Farben) gearbeitet und hatte mir ein sehr teueres "Video Digitalisierungs Modul" gekauft mit dem man Video / TV Signale "als Bild in 4 Graunstufen" in den C64 laden konnte. Grüße (Gretings) Tanialassie

[@myblueextremes1526]

Paradroid is probably my favourite on the C64. It looks good (simplicity), has a cool atmosphere (simplicity) and the tactical nature of the game made it more than 'just shoot all the robots to win'.

Great Giana sisters. Nemesis the Warlock. Great music. "Uuno Turhapuro muuttaa maalle". From Finland.

Great list there

Pitstop II - one of the first C64 games I ever played... I never understood how it could be so good and Chase HQ could be so bad...

[@Zoomer30]

You forgot Project: Space Station. Imo, best C64 game ever.

[@shibainusqueezins6424]

Space station was awesome

[@hepinyo]

My list would include Commando, Indoor, Defender of the crown and Barbarians too!

[@koenmortelvande1181]

Commando! C64 on the floor so I could throw handgranates by pressing space with my big toe.

Leader board golf was my favorite along with 'Where in the world is carmen sandiego'
