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

Czech Republic
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 Wink

By the way, there is a very nice remake of KA, check http://www.microprose.nl/home.php

Yes Agent Usa was one of my favorite games too. I've played it as recently as a few months ago Smiley But I forgot to mention it.
