Joel D. Park Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 It looks like alot of you folks had Commodore 64's at one time. It and the Atari 2600 are my two favorite game systems of all time.. I still have my C=64 and play it just as much as the 2600, maybe more on some days. How about you guys?? I still get a huge kick out of: Forbidden Forest, Bruce Lee, Pirates, C=64 Spy Hunter was great. And then all the entire Game Series by Epyx. Then there are all the obscure games that were great, and the Arcade Classics. Some fantastic RPG's for the C=64 too. Man, good times.

Skatepunk60 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Yeah it was great but i no longer have the room and im still trying to sell my collection (shameless plug ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjewell Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I have a friend who I was talking to about how I collect classic systems and he started talking about his old c64, and he dug it out along with about 200 games, and started getting all excited about it. I think he still has it hooked up and is playing it after digging it out about 2 months ago. I like to see people get back into those classic systems. I play on mine every once in a while and enjoy it. It's got some fun games. Mule. and the ultima series. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 The Commode 64 had some good (even great) games. One in particular I used to love was Friday the 13th. No other game had ever given me nightmares until I would see the random pictures of an axe going through a guy's head or the seven bloody skulls. Even the screams whenever someone died gave me chills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Piper Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I believe the commodore 64 was about the best gaming system of all time!!(until I got modern PC's)...I only got a c64 5 years ago, never had one as a kid(too bad). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markimus of K. Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 All I can say is this: If you're into 'classic or retro gaming', your gaming experience is not complete without C=64 games. Can you say 'Space Taxi'?, 'Raid on Bungling Bay?' or how about Defender of the Crown? Test Drive?, or god only knows...

Fretwobbler Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Originally posted by Joel - quoteSome fantastic RPG's for the C=64 too The C64 version of Bards Tale was fantastic and easily the best version available. El Cid with his magical Fire Horn, brilliant. The Stone Golems used to really %£*! me off! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckandCover Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Two of my best friends owned C-64's when I was growing up, and we had a blast with some of those games: Bruce Lee, The Sword of Fargoal, Ghostbusters, the Ultima games... This may be old news to some, but a fellow by the name of Mark Rolston has ported Bruce Lee to the PC using Blitz Basic. He did an outstanding job! It's well worth the download.

Joel D. Park Posted April 25, 2002 Author Share Posted April 25, 2002 I was playing the Bruce Lee remake just 2 days ago. Really great. I'd forgotten to mention Raid on bungling Bay, awesome, Also the sound on the Commodore 64 was just amazing, I'm still amazed some times. I could never get the steering figured out on TestDrive though, I'd just run off the cliff or into the wall.. nothing much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
