Title: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: rommager on January 15, 2010, 22:44 It goes without saying that M.U.L.E. is one of the top of the top C64 games, but there were so many great games for the good ole 64. What are some of your favorites? When you answer, also please state your country. I have seen different favorites in Europe, where the 64 had a much longer and happier life.
I am in USA - A few of mine faves include: Bruce Lee Impossible Mission Conan Racing Destruction Set Super Pipeline Boulder Dash Construction Kit Spy vs Spy Caveman U'gh Lympics Dragon's Lair California Games Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's?

Atari And nobody mentioned Kennedy Approach, this game is at least as ingenious as M.U.L.E., and was available on both Atari and C64 ;) By the way, there is a very nice remake of KA, check http://www.microprose.nl/home.php (http://www.microprose.nl/home.php) Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: Intergalactic Mole on January 18, 2010, 16:17 There were so many amazing games back in the day, it's hard to recount them all. But yes, I remember Kennedy Approach. I'm going to check out the remake!! Thanks trouba!

How could I forget Agent USA??? That was an awesome game! ;) First and foremost: MULE (How come nobody put this on their favorite list???) C'mon now, aside from MULE. I think we all know that this is on everybody's list. :D Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: Intergalactic Mole on January 18, 2010, 18:36 Yes Agent Usa was one of my favorite games too. I've played it as recently as a few months ago :) But I forgot to mention it.

Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: Tei on January 19, 2010, 21:01 Kenney Approach was awesome, but.. he!.. you have to make a list, you can't list all, not even the better ones ( memory... )
Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's?

Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: piete on January 20, 2010, 17:16 I'm glad to hear that. Did I warn you that the game is highly addictive? ;) Good that you warned. I never played it, so have to have a try, but maybe better leave it to my next vacation then... Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: Tei on January 20, 2010, 20:01 Turrican 2 killed all platform games for me. Since It was perfect, I see no point to play any other platform game. Also, Turrican 2 was Epic in scale and deep, in a time where Epic was a rarely used word.
Tie Fighter killed space games for me.. but thats another history. Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: MrBrown on January 20, 2010, 21:36 Turrican 2 killed all platform games for me. Since It was perfect, I see no point to play any other platform game. Also, Turrican 2 was Epic in scale and deep, in a time where Epic was a rarely used word. I mostly played Turrican 2 on the AMIGA. The soundtrack is legendary, Chris Hülsbeck and Jochen Hippel created the 7-voice-routine for Turrican II, a true gaming audio milestone. I recorded it to tape and listened to it on my walkman back then, and I still like to listen to it today :)Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's?

Title: Re: C64 - What are the most awesome games YOU played in the 80's? Post by: C64 on May 24, 2010, 19:54 I don't think anyone has mentioned:

Cant think of the name but had a sequal that took place in Europe.... anyone remember the name? Given the genre's small offerings on the Commodore 64, if it wasn't Autoduel, it's likely you were playing "Roadwar 2000" (http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=2148) or its sequel "Roadwar Europa" (http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=2149) instead. Quote from: trippt also does anyone remember a game that involved a gnome who travelled through time? you would go to the stone age then you would go to persia and then to space collecting things?? Never played it, but that definitely sounds like the premise in "Time Tunnel" (http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=2661). I still play C64 games from time to time on an emulator (Power64). The turn-based "Lords of Conquest" (http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=1543) would probably appeal to a lot of MULE fans, I suspect; it's like a customizable 'deluxe' version of the boardgame Risk, and was also similarly enjoyable to play with three other players. What was REALLY fun back then, though, were the graphics and game editing utilities. A good-sized chunk of my adolescence was spent writing stories, creating graphics and working out programming in Activision's "Gamemaker" (http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=1027) and EA's "Adventure Construction Set" (http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=3013). Some years back I conducted a 'salvage operation' and converted all my old five-inch Commodore floppies into emulator-readable disk images (http://www.mindspring.com/~tgordo/whatever.html); it was totally worth it...
