Yessiree, I've played all of them. Action Biker was a really cool game, in particular.
Why do you ask?
Loved Rambo, never played the GI Joe game. I own Action Biker, but my copy doesn't work
i have that rambo, but i can't play it because i have no c64
The talk about C=64 text adventures reminded me that these 3 were my fav C=64 games back in the day also. My friends and I would play these during lunch hour and stuff.
Our favorite line was always
"Turn the disk over! Yo Joe!"
Any C=64 emulators properly emulated using dual-sided disks (so to speak)?[/i]

I use VICE as my C64 emulator of choice. Manages disk images rather nicely I might add.
Both major C64 emus (CCS64 and Vice) have options to select a new disc without reseting the "machine". Just reattach the new image in Vice, and use F4 to select the new image in CCS64.
I have both Action Biker and Rambo originals here at home... though not GI Joe cos it was US only...
Floating around the house should still be my GI-Joe and Rambo disks. I think I've got CCS64 on one my disks, dunno how updated the version is now, what version is it at now?
And Joe, see I can post intelligent, informative posts...

@Joe: did you ever see my post where I mentioned that one of the links on the C64 emulatation page was broken? I think it was VICE. They've got a new URL now (which comes up when you try the old link).
I went with CCS64 because, ahem, you mentioned it was the one you liked best on that page. Ahem.
Anyway, it works like a charm and you can definitely switch disks pretty easily with it (although I hear VICE has a simpler interface). I use it exclusively for Micro League Baseball and you have to switch disks frequently if you're playing with teams not on the original disk.
Back to the topic at hand: thanks for the heads up. I'm a new C64 owner so I'll look for those. Right after I finish trading with K8track.
Time will be when the broadest river dries
And the great cities wane and last descend
Into the dust, for all things have an end
I may have played Action Biker on my C64, but I'm not too sure about it... I got the C64 a year and still havn't gone through all the disks...I may just have recognized the shot from lemon64.com.
Can't say I've played that many games on my C64 as I really don't have a way to get downloaded games to CBM 5.25" disks since my 1581 3.5" drives don't work with the monitor on (I need to get shorter drive cables that are sheilded.)
I have a certain game which I can't find anywhere online which I have a non-functional original copy of(just my luck)....called Flight Simulator II, I think.
Rambo really is fun, and the music in Action Biker is the type that will get stuck in your head for hours also! GI-Joe's weird..usually you have one on one fights between the opposing force, and then you got encounters in-between those fights where you're driving that force's tanks or planes around tod estroy the opposing force.

I love Action Biker! I remember finally getting to the end and being really disappointed with the game's finishing sequence. It was one of several games that caused me and my friends to coin the phrase "Mastertronic ending".
Keir, if you want a midi of the Action Biker theme, there's one here:

it's one those catchy tunes that get stuck in your head. Anyhow, my friend and I used to play AB all the time also, we both loved it!
Keir, I did make another C=64 related post if you wanna chime in.

I had a HUGE collection of - ahem - purloined C64 software in my day. Some of my favs (other than those classics mentioned above):
- Fairlight
- Spell of Destruction
- The Last V8 ("V8! Return to the base immediately!")
- Realm of Impossibility
- Adventure Construction Set
- Racing Destruction Set
- Kickman (sure, it was on cart, but it rocked!)
- All the Bard's Tale games
- Ghostbusters (That first C654 version rocked my world!)
- Beach Head
- Zak McKrakken and the Alien Mindbenders
- Psi-5 Trading Company
- Rocket Ranger, 3 Stooges, Defender of the Crown, and pretty much all Cinemaware software
- Telengard (by Avalon Hill, no less)
- Law of the West
- The Lurking Horror (Infocom Text Horror)
- Autoduel
In fact, I used to be the C64 software reviewer for Shay Adam's "Questbusters" back in the day and had a solution appear in the first "Book of Quests." (For the life of me, can't remember what game though...)
Still Around...Still Gamin'...
I always loved Movie Monster Game myself. Great mp3s, Mayhem!
