Daley Thompson's Decathlon
graveyardjohn says: Yeah, yeah, you'll break your joystick... but truthfully a Cheetah 125 came a cropper from good old Daley 'revolving body' Thompson. I'd play this 'un on the keyboard if I were you. PC Joysticks are too expensive to break on 'Track And Field' style clones such as this!

Galax-i-Birds
Neo-Rio says: A simple game plagued by crazy-sprite-o-rama. Yep, it's that oldskool game design technique where every new level gives you something weird to shoot at. Fortunately the music is fun and randomly generated. Jeff Minter would be proud.

Raid on Bungeling Bay
Neo-Rio says: A classic shooter. Drop your payload of bombs onto the factories, blast airplanes, defend your carrier, and sink the ship under construction - if you can!
|
Le Mans
Neo-Rio says: This was the first game I had for my C64. I always loved the original Sega Monaco GP, and this game is a blatant rip-off!
|
Mothership
Neo-Rio says: Don't laugh. I really liked this game when I first played it back in the 80s. A joke these days, but it's a nostalgic trip for me when I play it.

Cobra
Neo-Rio says: Lame, unfair, and buggy game of a lame movie, but strangely playable with nice music. Here's a hint: When you get the machine gun, fire it and switch back to using knives. Note how much faster they can be thrown now - with unlimited ammo.

Slinky
Neo-Rio says: This is Q-bert revisited, so why do I remember it? Aside from the game being a bit "out-there", the slinky death scene gave me a huge laugh the first time I saw it.

Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar
Steve says: a true classic role-playing game. The C=64 version is the best version of that game available. I still remember spending night after night on my quest through Britannia.

Pang
graveyardjohn says: Another top 2 player game - bursting the bubbles causes them to double in number but halve in size, so you can't go hitting anything that moves or you'll be dead in seconds. Think Asteroids, but not in space. With gravity. And men instead of ships.
