Karateka
Neo-Rio says: Classic early beat-em up. We used to sneak into the classroom during lunchtime to play this game when the teacher wasn't looking. Good memories of my school days.

Castle Wolfenstein
Neo-Rio says: "Achtung!" As well as being banned in Germany, this is the original inspiration for iD's "Wolfenstein 3D" and the FPS genre. This golden oldie forces you to rely on stealth more than firepower however. In game speech too.

AMC - Attack of the Mutant Camels
graveyardjohn says: A blatant Empire-Strikes-Back-derivative AT-AT/camel hybrid, I am a lucky owner of a signed copy by Jeff Minter! Essential blasting!

RISK - Rapid Intercept Seek and Kill
Neo-Rio says: Defender meets steroids. Pick up flying cargo and techies whilst trying not to get blasted. Clear a screen, land on the pads, and get more goodies so you can eventually make your ship very very nasty. The title music is inspiring too.

Newcomer
Neo-Rio says: One of the deepest and involving RPGs on the C64, that came very late in its life. It came on 15 disk sides, which easily makes it the largest game written for the humble Commodore 64.

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.

3D Pool
Neo-Rio says: Arguably the best billiards game on the C64. The graphics are great, and the computer opponents are pretty good players too.

Arcticfox
Matt Larsen says: Electronic Arts put out some of the best titles for the C64. Is it any wonder they are still in business 20 years later? This was my favorite simulation game as a kid.

Agent USA
J2003C says: Arcade action, strategy, geography lessions and a little luck make this game super fun. Harvest 100 crystals while fighting off thieves and traveling the USA in search of the FuzzBomb. Easier for US players due to the geography.
