    Top 10 C64 games of 1984:

    Below the Root
    Boulder Dash
    Bruce Lee
    Dig Dug
    Frogger II: Threeedeep!
    Gyruss
    H.E.R.O.
    Pastfinder
    Pitfall II: Lost Caverns
    Questron

    Sorry I only listed C64 games, but I have a hard time remembering what year games were released. For C64 games though, I can just do a search on www.lemon64.com.

    I thanks you every one of you! This will be very helpful
    for someone i know who wants to make tv show of everything that was popular in video games in 1984.

    The only contribution i'll make for the TV show is that i'll lend some video game systems and my Pac-Man velvet poster, and of course, your lists are posted here.

    Great picks Raedon! I was very close to putting Space Taxi on my list too. Looks pretty silly, but it's a lot of fun!

    Space Taxi and Below the Root Are tied for first in my C64 top list. Forget 1984, they have to be two of the best games of the 80s. "Hey Taxi Pad 5 please"
