    Default Top 150 all-time favorite Commodore 64 games

    Ported over from this thread: http://pub103.ezboard.com/fretrogami...icID=581.topic

    I loved my Atari 2600, but my *absolute favorite* system was the Commodore 64. It was a game console disguised as a computer. ;-) It had enough power to *accurately* emulate the arcade games, and enough flexibility to create long, heavily-detailed Text/Graphic Adventures and Simulations. Anyway, the C=64 has 10,000+ games, so let's get crackin'! The rules:
    (1) Tell me what to delete
    (2) Tell me what to add

    To help jog your memory, here's a list of almost all C=64 games in existence:

    I've never played Turbo Outrun. How was it different from the original Outrun? Did it have the same rockin' music? :-)

    Delete Pitstop and add "The Goonies." Datasoft created one hell of an adaption of the movie for it's time... great game!

    I don't really have a list of games to take off, I haven't played about half of these...but I will give a few of my favorites for people to consider while looking at this list...

    10th Frame, great bowling simulator
    Leaderboard Golf / World Class Leader Board
    Caveman Games, best version on C64
    Club House Sports
    Mini Putt
    Accolade Comics, always thought it was such an original game
    Gee Bee Air Rally
    Kik-start
    Hardball
    Mikie
    the classic, Lemonade Stand
    Eliminator

    my favorite C64 game, although I don't think many others liked it, Skate Rock

    and one more dark horse you should check out: Quasimodo

    Just curious... which version of Elite is better? I've never seen any classic version other than the C=64 one?

    Gamers throw in your two cents, because I would love to hear what disk and tape games are really good, that way I can go out and pick some up when I get around to it. The one that got me interested was Spindizzy, as I didn't know it was a prequel to Spindizzy worlds. I just plain love that game.
    If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

    Whoa where'd this thread come from?

    The "official" C64 Favorites thread can be found HERE:
    http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1235

    Like this one, it was created by the much-maligned "theaveng" but it has been cleaned up, corrected, and made presentable over time. Please join in there!
