I wouldn't call the C64 MUCH LESS CAPABLE. It's a very capable 8 Bit computer with all sorts of great in-built capabilities.
Off the top of my head there were a few games that I recall preferring on the C64...
Three Stooges
Defender of the Crown
Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road
Maniac Mansion
Donkey Kong (had all the arcade levels)
Winter Games
World Games
California Games
Impossible Mission II
I'm sure there were plenty of others, in the prime of both systems I was gaming extensively on both and I can recall doing plenty of comparisons that came away with c64 being the winner.
