NES vs. Commodore 64 versions of games!!!

Space Harrier, while not exactly great on either, is much more playable on C64.

C64 Ghostbusters, Archon 1, M.U.L.E., Spy-vs-Spy 1. The C64 Bubble Bobble also has the BB songs done via the SID, so that's a fun bonus.

If it originated as a computer game, then chances are it's better on C64. Even when the graphics are more detailed on NES, something's usually off. Archon's a good example. It's more advanced looking on NES but the designs lack the charm and the game is slower paced.

and I actually haven't played the NES version, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say The Last Ninja was probably better on the 64 too. If not for the gameplay then for the music!

It's better on C64 in every aspect: music, art, and control. It's also Last Ninja 2 despite lacking the "2" in the title on NES.

Have you ever played Remember's crack of Space Harrier where they combine both the Sega and Elite versions of the game? It's worth a look.
