I dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Leon Moises thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Sinisteve Retro Gamer Never got anywhere near completing it, but the best thing about the internet is you can watch complete run throughs of old games now and see what you were supposed to do. Did your ever play the He-Man game? Watched a run through of that game and there’s no way I’d have ever figured that one out.
Always enjoy looking at people's favourites. A lot of these were mine too. There was so much happening at the time in the C64 scene. Have a look at the ZZAP!64 magazines - they are now all online. Some great memories there through 1985 and 86
Cheers dude, obviously these sort of lists are only based on opinion, I think when you get into what a tuber is “about” that’s when it may become quite relevant Most of my subs will know I like pick up play arcade games and that’s what most of these are. No adventure games
Only commando would be in my top 25 and most of the games that you have in your top 25 I haven't even played quite amazing different history and experiences same machine
I was more into strategy and rpgs on the c64. I'm gearing up to play Gunship again and I'm working my way through demon's winter right now. Currently I'm using an Ultimate 64 which allows me to play both the NTSC and PAL games. To add to the list Space Taxi: I have over 3 decades of saves on this rom dating back to when I was a kid, got back from college, working in the 2000's and now my sons. Below the Root: Short and unique rpg, no killing and no stealing. Played and finished that recently and it has stood the test of time. Archon 1/2, Jetset Willy 2, Load Runner, Wizzard, Montezumas Revenge, Defender of the Crown are more action related games I would recommend. One game I don't see any place is Rocket Ball, graphics are not great but a lot of fun if you have someone to play against. Lastly, Tower of Rubble is a new c64 game that would have been a big hit back in the day. C64anabalt is also a lot of fun.
I also loved IK+. I remember I toggled with the sfx / music keys (F-keys I believe) and it made the speed increase after pushing the right keys a numerous of times. Was totally awesome!
Nice Video with some really nice games but there are a few that would definately need to be in there Like: Mission Impossible,Pirates, the Great Giana Sisters,The Last Ninja 2,Ghosts and Goblins (get the remake of 2015) to name a Few.
Great list.i loved way of the exploding fist,Ghostbusters and commando. Hunchback 2 was good although I couldn't do one level. I also had a 3d golf game ( not leader board ) that was great fun, you can find videos on RUclips. You could actually hit the ball at the clubhouse!!
Chris Stephens haha I’ll check that out, I don’t mind a golf game, Leaderboard nearly made it on here, as kids we used to hit the ball out of the screen left or right and laugh at the fart noise it makes🤣
Loved Pitstop 2 me and my mate would play for hours on that...although i always lost cos i thought pitting was for wimps hahaha...great video mate and some great unusual picks which is a welcome change fro all the generic C64 lists out there
old style gaming 😂pitting for wimps! Classic ha, I may have had my nostalgia glasses on as I’ve had all my c64 games from back in the day, but check out sky runner and z, let us know what you think
Favorite two-player games: Hypa-Ball, Larry Bird & Dr J One-on-One, Leaderboard World Class, International Karate, Mini-Putt, Mini Golf, Street Sports Baseball, 4th & Inches, Bounces, Pit Stop II
@@Sinisteve you are not wrong. I love that a lot of the list is 'earlier' C64 games. Kickstart 2 was simply 'un put downable' in the day, and whilst I remember Sport of Kings was trashed by games reviews back on the day, I also remember crowds of friends huddled round a 14" portable screen screaming for their horse to nudge ahead (what did critics know 😁)
A great video mate. Really enjoyed it. Uridium, Finders Keepers, Int Soccer, Int Basketball & World Class Leaderboard are a few of my favourites that I don’t think I seen on your list that might be worth getting if you don’t already have them.
Only played the game's on your list that also got released on the zx spectrum, interesting to see the different versions. Genuinely didn't know Kane had a sequel 😲. Kick start 2 is a classic 😍. Can't beat a bit of Monty, enjoyed this.
I had an Amiga in 89 so that sort of makes sense, I nearly put a homebrew in the mix called panic analogue, love the music in it, and since doing the video I’ve fallen in love with space taxi, don’t think I’ll be owning that one any time soon though, seems really hard to get! Thanks for watching👍
Pitstop II and Accolade's Grand Prix Circuit were hands down the best racers on the C64 (my opinion anyway) Turbo Outrun was pretty damn good too though.
Nice collection of the very early c64 games. Very different from other lists around and the usual candidates - last ninja, turrican etc... Not ones that pushed the machine graphically but you got some good music in here on the last few..
I was mostly on MegaDrive after 92/93 so that’s why I prefer a lot of older games, not only that but the games that “pushed” the system came on a lot of disks and I never had a HD back in the day
@@Sinisteve I don’t have Amiga, but I prefer the PC version of Elite over C64 version; because on PC the game was smooth. Forbidden Forest is a horror game, and some longplay videos are here in RUclips. If you read comments, you’ll see that people were really afraid of the game. It was one of the first games I had on C64, and I never played it alone..
Without including MODERN games for the system like Galencia, Sam's Journey, etc: Archon, The Bard's Tale games, Mayhem in Monster Land, Turbo Outrun, Paradroid, Last Ninja 2(my favorite game from the series), Wizball, Donkey Kong (Ocean version), Giana Sisters, Impossible Mission, The gold box SSI games, 1942, Kickstart II, and my personal favorite: Mail Order Monsters...
Jim Powell I never said it was good, I said it was BETTER than the Atari Port If you want to play Donkey Kong on the C64, play the 2016 Homebrew port csdb.dk/release/?id=151278
Guess I wanted games with stories - I wanted to know what happened next, not the same but a bit faster. I did like Delta Mk II (the hacked version with alternative graphics), Tapper, IM, Kokotoni Wilf and Infocom games. Hated joystick wrenchers, though. Rocketball was fun and cool and, for some reason, Zolyx. Mind you, I got more fun out of hacking and writing games than actually playing them. Write the game, find the bugs and then the bugs become the game. Sending the breakout ball through a gap so that the machine crashes or losing 2 segments in centipede when you only have one resulting in a sudden 255 segment tail - now _that_ was fun!
Favorite one player games: Defender of the Crown, Henry's House, Kong Strikes Back, Krakout, Dragons Lair II, The Master of Magic, Law of the West, Mr. Angry
Radar Rat Race is the first game I remember playing in my friend’s house in 1983. He had VIC20, but the game is the same. I’m not sure if the VIC-version had music, tho the music in C64 version is so simple and short that it just might have fit into VIC’s awful memory capasity..
My Fav: Moonsweeper, Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom, Aztec Challenge, Bumping Buggies, Hunchback, Turrican 2, Wizball, International Karate, PitStop2, Scuba Kidz, Ninja Remix, Cabal, Saboteur II, Mission Elevator, Trolls and Tribulations, EH Int Soccer, Supremacy, Bloodwych, Bruce Lee, Rainbow Island, Barbarian, Batman The Movie, Super Cars, Creatures, Speedking.
SEGA Zombie haha I was just going to correct you too😂hyper sports is great, but I already had winter sports and decathlon so was trying to mix it up👍I’ll check out the others, I’ve got uridium 2 for Amiga but never got on with it
Sinisteve Retro Gamer yeah the sequel on the Amiga wasn’t as good as the original def worth a check fast frantic and lovely scrolling for the time only the c64 could handle it
1. Bard's Tale I, II, II 2. Zork I, II, III 3. Loderunner 4. Defender of the Crown 5. Enchanter I, II 6. Archon 7. M.U.L.E 8. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 9. Spy Hunter 10. Frogger Honorable Mention: Swinth
But I guess you di,d not own Giana Sisters, The Last Ninja 1 and 2, Outrun, Combat School, Bubble Bubble, Paper Boy, Ghost n Goblins, man so, so many games missing here Steve!!! ;-)
Yeah definitely never owned Giana😞 I could never get my head around the last ninja series and always thought the arcade ports were a little underwhelming and took forever to load🙈 I would love to own Space Taxi that game is probably the best c64 game I’ve seen that I never played as a kid
I wonder if anyone can help me remember a game... I don't have much info and all I remember is being a spaceman (I think) and exploring caves and picking up some objects. I thought it was called Exile but I can't find anything :( Some of my favourite games were Racing Destruction Set, Paradroid, Uridium, Elite, Boulder Dash, just to name a few and I also remember a wrestling game that I was fond of but that may have been on the Amiga, those years are such a blur now :( @Sinisteve Retro Gamer what game is your avatar from? It looks familiar.
Definitely sounds like Exile ruclips.net/video/r2Kpz5dVmLg/видео.html Elite is one of my favourite Amiga game but only left it out as I don’t think the graphics have aged well... The avatar is Sinistar, an old Williams arcade game👍 Thanks for watching
@@Sinisteve Yeah when I look up videos of Exile I don't remember it, nor does it look like the image I have in my head and I'm sure it was on the C64, I must be getting confused with another game. Thank you for the speedy reply. By the way, did you know there is a modern Elite called Elite Dangerous?
I didn't like this list, and I think that if you stick to your rule of only adding game you already own yourself... yeah, well, you should have called the list something other than 'the best 25 Commodore 64 games ever'. My humble personal opinion. Oh, I think we all did hear the emulated drive sounds of some of the games being loaded from an Ultimate cartridge. Right? Nothing wrong with running backups to preserve the original media. Anyway, thumbs up and all. It is after all impossible to disagree with your pick for number one. Tough as nails but excellent music.
You could watch any “best” videos but none of them would be correct, it’s always someone opinion. And if you finish reading the title it does say “my favourite” What would you have in there? I have no way of capturing composite video so it was all done on PC Thanks for watching👍
@@Sinisteve Yeah, you are right. You are. I would probably notmake a list, but a couple of my all time favourites would be Bruce Lee and Rick Dangerous. Those are games I always come back to. These days I'm playing Wolfling. Looking forward to the enhanced physical edition which will be due.., when it's ready, or so I've heard.
Magic Madness, Mutant Camels (Gridrunner knockoff), Parallax, Delta Force, Uridium, Zamzara, Madness, Hell's Bells, Gobbler, Zaxxoon, Impossible Mission, Arkanoid, Dragonskulle, Astroblitz, Buck Rogers, Bubble Bobble, Archon, Ghosts & Goblins are just some of many I played to DEATH. Edit: Just wanted to add Terry's Great Adventure and Clever & Smart because they're dead now. Because I played them to DEATH.
Cool! the first mention of Zamzara! So cool switching weapons with the F1 - F7 keys. That F5 beam rocked, so did the missile triggered with spacebar. Too bad you need an extra player to control the keyboard when you needed the missile badly...
Creatures 1 and 2. Silkworm. Slicks. CJs elephant antics, Rick dangerous, turrican 1 and 2, rainbow islands, last ninja remix, snare, spindizzy 5th gear, uridium, yi ar kung fu. Dominator, armalyte, Could go on for ever.
Phil Jamieson spin dizzy is good, totally forgot about that one, I was trying to leave out games I preferred on the Amiga, turricans, silkworm, rainbow islands..otherwise they definitely would’ve been there👍 Thanks for watching
@@Sinisteve wiredly enough, I always preferred C64 versions of most games that came out on both platforms. They always played more solid, and seemed more real. Despite limitations. Funny.
You paid £5 for Gauntlet 3?! Thats some luck, Although I did get Great Giana Sisters and all of the jewel box Thalamus titles for £1 each. I paid quite a bit more for Guantlet III... I only need Zak and Maniac Mansion and I’m done.
Yeah £5 haha from a game shop too I don’t collect c64 and the game was awful so sold it to a German collector... I’d love Giana, Zak and Maniac Mansion for Amiga...one day maybe
I love the fact that the Commodore 64 library is so big that everyone's top games can be completely different. Can't argue with including Buggy Boy and Commando.
Jeff Ledger yeah it’s huge!! And I only own around 100, all from back in the day though...luckily most of the library is very cheap so any recommendations should be easy to add to the collection
@@Sinisteve here's a few to be going on with mate , there's loads more but few different styles of games here to try last ninja last ninja 2 platoon polar pierre ghosts n goblins the goonies saracen samurai warrior dragons lair dragons lair 2 spherical ghost chaser aliens combat school auf wiedersehen monty
Can't disagree with your No1 and No3 choices. I take it you don't own Wizball haha. Platoon had to be in there and Hot Rod. Still it's a controversial list and I guess a list that appeals to you.
Beaps73 yep definitely compiled with my nostalgia glasses on...but all good games that still play well today, my c64 collection is very small, I’ll check out the others you mentioned, although I could never get in to wizball on the Amiga
_Radar Ratrace?_ ABSOLUTELY NOT! That game will drive you NUTS in about 10 minutes with its 5 second repeating "soundtrack". And its non-smooth scrolling is jarring too. Nice early attempt* at Rally-X, but no thanks! * Radar Ratrace came out the same year the C64 was released, so they were still learning about what the C64 could do.
Hahaha the nostalgia glasses were firmly on when I made this, I’ll still have fun with radar rat race now and still prefer the cat and mouse theme to rally x, although I haven’t actually put that much time into rally x, I should really
@@Sinisteve I think Radar Ratrace was the very first game I bought for my C64 back in the day. I seem to remember they were selling it for about $5! It was a cartridge, so at least I didn't have to suffer through super long loading times only to be disappointed! Still, good times.
Well after watching this video I now realise what I missed out on not having a c64 conclusion not much😂 I'm glad I had a speccy! Long live the spectrum and death to all c64s! Joking aside though Steve another cool video mate keep up the good work
Big thanks again goes to Old Style Gaming for the support👍
Check out that kick @ 22:40 😉
Ah the illusive back kick ...great move that mate :-)
Nice wasn’t it haha😂

Glad Kickstart 2 hasn't faded away, I loved this a child.
Fatastic list pal i had forgotten about some of them, my fave in there by far is jetsetwilly 2. Some classics in there for sure nice video.
Monty on the Run was my favourite C64 game. Kung Fu Master was awesome too. So many memories.
Another great list👍🏻
ep1phany62 that Monty on the Run music is just epic

A really unique list! I like it!
Cheers dude👍
Great list, I love it when people do their own lists from there life rather than the same old games popping up. I too loved Sports of Kings.
Cheers dude, obviously these sort of lists are only based on opinion, I think when you get into what a tuber is “about” that’s when it may become quite relevant
Most of my subs will know I like pick up play arcade games and that’s what most of these are. No adventure games
Check out Space Taxi though, absolutely love that, a real gem if you like things like Crazy Taxi on Dc or Ugh on Amiga
OMG Decathlon!!!! How many Joystick I have broken!!!!!!! :DD
Decathlon was the ultimate joystick breaker😂😂
Christian C Atari 2600 joy stick indestructible lol quick shot 2 dead within 2 hours lol 😉👍
Haha yeah though 2600 controllers never broke and I played loads of decathlon on the 2600!
The cruiser is decent for the Amiga
Only commando would be in my top 25 and most of the games that you have in your top 25 I haven't even played quite amazing different history and experiences same machine
skeletorrobo I think that’s what makes it so interesting, the library is massive!
16.35 - blocking the balls at IK+. I felt so good about myself when I managed to block them all. And the music... legendary
Yeah so satisfying
I was more into strategy and rpgs on the c64. I'm gearing up to play Gunship again and I'm working my way through demon's winter right now. Currently I'm using an Ultimate 64 which allows me to play both the NTSC and PAL games. To add to the list
Space Taxi: I have over 3 decades of saves on this rom dating back to when I was a kid, got back from college, working in the 2000's and now my sons.
Below the Root: Short and unique rpg, no killing and no stealing. Played and finished that recently and it has stood the test of time.
Archon 1/2, Jetset Willy 2, Load Runner, Wizzard, Montezumas Revenge, Defender of the Crown are more action related games I would recommend. One game I don't see any place is Rocket Ball, graphics are not great but a lot of fun if you have someone to play against.
Lastly, Tower of Rubble is a new c64 game that would have been a big hit back in the day. C64anabalt is also a lot of fun.
I’ve got an sd2eic so I’ll check those recommendations out!👍
Thanks for watching buddy
The way of the exploding fist loading was deadly silence and then that scream would scare the life out of yoy
🤣🤣🤣yeah that’s scared the shit out of me a few times
My favourites bubble bubble, Ik+, kickstart 2, California games and ghost busters
I also loved IK+. I remember I toggled with the sfx / music keys (F-keys I believe) and it made the speed increase after pushing the right keys a numerous of times. Was totally awesome!
Nice Video with some really nice games but there are a few that would definately need to be in there Like: Mission Impossible,Pirates, the Great Giana Sisters,The Last Ninja 2,Ghosts and Goblins (get the remake of 2015) to name a Few.
I would love to add Space Taxi, just discovered that game this year and it’s unreal, don’t think I’ll ever find an original copy though😞
Great list.i loved way of the exploding fist,Ghostbusters and commando. Hunchback 2 was good although I couldn't do one level. I also had a 3d golf game ( not leader board ) that was great fun, you can find videos on RUclips. You could actually hit the ball at the clubhouse!!
Chris Stephens haha I’ll check that out, I don’t mind a golf game, Leaderboard nearly made it on here, as kids we used to hit the ball out of the screen left or right and laugh at the fart noise it makes🤣
Loved Pitstop 2 me and my mate would play for hours on that...although i always lost cos i thought pitting was for wimps hahaha...great video mate and some great unusual picks which is a welcome change fro all the generic C64 lists out there

Will do mate 😄
@Growing Perspective Haha I never ever saw that ....in fact I was the first to comment I think ...don't you copy mine lol
@Growing Perspective Haha no chance I'm in 4th or something already...is say mid table but that's ok
Favorite two-player games: Hypa-Ball, Larry Bird & Dr J One-on-One, Leaderboard World Class, International Karate, Mini-Putt, Mini Golf, Street Sports Baseball, 4th & Inches, Bounces, Pit Stop II
Some quality SID tunes in there too! :)
Definitely! I actually think I like some of the tunes more than the games🙈
You have included BMX Racers and Jet Set Willy 2..... I feel almost choked with early C64 nostalgia. Two of the first games i ever owned.....
Steel Patriot this list is bursting with nostalgia ha, thanks for watching👍

Genuinely didn't know Kane had a sequel 😲.
Kick start 2 is a classic 😍.
Can't beat a bit of Monty, enjoyed this.

Really old school choices!! Not sure I saw anything post, say, '87?

Biff Webster oh really never played turbo outrun on c64 I’ll check it out👍
Badlands Racing is actually a pretty nice racer for an arcade conversion... Pole Position 2 isn't too bad either
Not a bad selection of games for a top 25 list. Nice!
10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast cheers matey, don’t hesitate to mention ones I’ve missed that need to be checked out👍
I still play pit stop 2 lol and you should try spy vs spy it's excellent 👌👍🍻
I played loads of spy vs spy on the original nes, great little game!👍
Sinisteve Retro Gamer yeh my first experience of spy vs spy was on the c64 when I was about 13 😉 I'm 48 now lol 😉👍

some weird choices here... interesting.
I had a collection of probably 400+ games back in the day but I couldn't say that I technically 'owned' more than about 4 of them LOL
Jim Rowell in an era when games didn’t hold your hand ha, sounds like a great collection though, did you sell it all?
At least we can agree on Commando sort of! LOL
Still need to download and play the full arcade version that was made a few years ago
Wasn't Radar Rat Race a Vic20 cartridge? Did it even make it to the C64?
AlienWacker yeah it was a launch title for the vic 20 then converted over to the 64, love that game!
Nice list. Not played all of them but I own some of them.
I made this with nostalgia glasses firmly on, I know there are better c64 games out there, great system though
Without including MODERN games for the system like Galencia, Sam's Journey, etc:

Jim Rowell only heard of a few of those, krakout sounds interesting👌🏼
@@Sinisteve best Breakout clone on the system
Krakout is basically like a horizontal version of Arkanoid pretty much
@@lordevyl8317 Yes but gameplay is buttery smooth and perfectly responsive in Krakout...not so much in the Arkanoid port...
Jim Rowell
Arkanoid isn't so bad providing you had a paddle controller. It sucked ass with a joystick
M.U.L.E.
Defenders of The Crown
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Jumpman
Pool of Radiance
Thanks for watching, I’ll check those out, A lot of people always recommend Defender of the Crown, but I always preferred the Amiga version
I remember programming games from the ahoy magazine
Larry Henderson I’d love to have that programming mind, I’ve always had ideas for game but wouldn’t know where to start
Radar Rat Race is the first game I remember playing in my friend’s house in 1983.
He had VIC20, but the game is the same. I’m not sure if the VIC-version had music, tho the music in C64 version is so simple and short that it just might have fit into VIC’s awful memory capasity..
Such a simple game, it’s a reskin of Rally X by Nampo, I like that game
@@Sinisteve Ok, I try to check it out!
My Fav:
Moonsweeper, Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom, Aztec Challenge, Bumping Buggies, Hunchback, Turrican 2, Wizball, International Karate, PitStop2, Scuba Kidz, Ninja Remix, Cabal, Saboteur II, Mission Elevator, Trolls and Tribulations, EH Int Soccer, Supremacy, Bloodwych, Bruce Lee, Rainbow Island, Barbarian, Batman The Movie, Super Cars, Creatures, Speedking.

Monty on the run is my No1 too !!! :D
Just love the music, one of my most nostalgic games ever!
i only like about 5 many 6 of theses... also... 180 over the superior wacky dart??? you crazy.
Haha all nostalgia, I didn’t even know wacky darts was even on c64, I’ve got it for the Amiga
The last ninja 1 and 2 and Giana sisters would be my top three of all time.
Could never get on with last ninjas, I know they’re very popular though
Thanks for watching👍
nice games selection. but what about Bruce Lee? :)
KATOD_music I do like Bruce Lee but I don’t own it for some reason😞in fact I should top up my c64 collection soon
Delta, Kung fu master , commando and H.E.R.O awesome on the C64
I would add Flimbos quest (the best conversion) , uridium hyper sports and buggy boy
Teach me for commenting before the video has finished hahahah Buggy Boy is there lol
Another great video bud
SEGA Zombie haha I was just going to correct you too😂hyper sports is great, but I already had winter sports and decathlon so was trying to mix it up👍I’ll check out the others, I’ve got uridium 2 for Amiga but never got on with it

I would love to own Space Taxi that game is probably the best c64 game I’ve seen that I never played as a kid
I wonder if anyone can help me remember a game... I don't have much info and all I remember is being a spaceman (I think) and exploring caves and picking up some objects. I thought it was called Exile but I can't find anything :(
Some of my favourite games were Racing Destruction Set, Paradroid, Uridium, Elite, Boulder Dash, just to name a few and I also remember a wrestling game that I was fond of but that may have been on the Amiga, those years are such a blur now :(
@Sinisteve Retro Gamer what game is your avatar from? It looks familiar.
Definitely sounds like Exile ruclips.net/video/r2Kpz5dVmLg/видео.html
Elite is one of my favourite Amiga game but only left it out as I don’t think the graphics have aged well...
The avatar is Sinistar, an old Williams arcade game👍
Thanks for watching
@@Sinisteve Yeah when I look up videos of Exile I don't remember it, nor does it look like the image I have in my head and I'm sure it was on the C64, I must be getting confused with another game. Thank you for the speedy reply. By the way, did you know there is a modern Elite called Elite Dangerous?
I LOVE C64 👍🥂🎩
I didn't like this list, and I think that if you stick to your rule of only adding game you already own yourself... yeah, well, you should have called the list something other than 'the best 25 Commodore 64 games ever'. My humble personal opinion. Oh, I think we all did hear the emulated drive sounds of some of the games being loaded from an Ultimate cartridge. Right? Nothing wrong with running backups to preserve the original media. Anyway, thumbs up and all. It is after all impossible to disagree with your pick for number one. Tough as nails but excellent music.
You could watch any “best” videos but none of them would be correct, it’s always someone opinion.
And if you finish reading the title it does say “my favourite”
What would you have in there?
I have no way of capturing composite video so it was all done on PC
Thanks for watching👍
@@Sinisteve Yeah, you are right. You are. I would probably notmake a list, but a couple of my all time favourites would be Bruce Lee and Rick Dangerous. Those are games I always come back to. These days I'm playing Wolfling. Looking forward to the enhanced physical edition which will be due.., when it's ready, or so I've heard.
Chill out fella it's just a bit of nostalgia
frogs n flies. artillery duel.
I have never seen Beamrider on any list, my favorite ever:-) (Activision... dont forget it on your list @OSG :-p )
I’ll check that out buddy, also want to try out space taxi, looks great!
@@Sinisteve seen that one comming by a few times. Sure gonna try!
Magic Madness, Mutant Camels (Gridrunner knockoff), Parallax, Delta Force, Uridium, Zamzara, Madness, Hell's Bells, Gobbler, Zaxxoon, Impossible Mission, Arkanoid, Dragonskulle, Astroblitz, Buck Rogers, Bubble Bobble, Archon, Ghosts & Goblins are just some of many I played to DEATH.
Edit: Just wanted to add Terry's Great Adventure and Clever & Smart because they're dead now. Because I played them to DEATH.
Cool! the first mention of Zamzara! So cool switching weapons with the F1 - F7 keys. That F5 beam rocked, so did the missile triggered with spacebar. Too bad you need an extra player to control the keyboard when you needed the missile badly...
I’ve never heard of zamzara! I’ll check it out
I don't remember Andrea the giant in kung fu master😂
Without further ado Retro you obviously weren’t good enough to get past level 2😂😂
BMW racers doesn't event have hw scrolling?
What game is that in the beginning sinister? I loved that game on The arcade
Sinistar yes, used to scare the shit out of me as a kid🙈RUN COWARD!!
Heroquest and operation wolf for me
Never player HeroQuest, operation wolf doesn’t quite capture the arcade game imo, maybe I should give it another go
I'd kind of like to make my own video like this. But I'd have no idea how to do it! 🤣
Bit of a learning curve with editing software but pretty easy
@@Sinisteve cool I might look into it we'll see. Thanks for the response
Creatures 1 and 2. Silkworm. Slicks. CJs elephant antics, Rick dangerous, turrican 1 and 2, rainbow islands, last ninja remix, snare, spindizzy 5th gear, uridium, yi ar kung fu. Dominator, armalyte, Could go on for ever.
Phil Jamieson spin dizzy is good, totally forgot about that one, I was trying to leave out games I preferred on the Amiga, turricans, silkworm, rainbow islands..otherwise they definitely would’ve been there👍
Thanks for watching
@@Sinisteve wiredly enough, I always preferred C64 versions of most games that came out on both platforms. They always played more solid, and seemed more real. Despite limitations. Funny.
Boulder dash, blue max, karateka...
Shaul Rosenzweig only heard of 2 of those, will definitely check those out👍
Strange how at the time, ghostbusters and the one with col tibbits (a spy) seemed so much fun and now they look like garbage
Seems to prefer the older C64 games that came out early 80s, and not the newer one's that came out after 1985 or so.
I’d moved on to Amiga by 89 that’s why all my nostalgic games are early
You paid £5 for Gauntlet 3?! Thats some luck, Although I did get Great Giana Sisters and all of the jewel box Thalamus titles for £1 each. I paid quite a bit more for Guantlet III... I only need Zak and Maniac Mansion and I’m done.
Yeah £5 haha from a game shop too
I don’t collect c64 and the game was awful so sold it to a German collector...
I’d love Giana, Zak and Maniac Mansion for Amiga...one day maybe
@@Sinisteve I keep an Amiga Maniac Mansion (kixx) as a placeholder for the 64 version.
I love the fact that the Commodore 64 library is so big that everyone's top games can be completely different. Can't argue with including Buggy Boy and Commando.
Easily 2000+ games commercially available back in the day if you include international releases....
Jeff Ledger yeah it’s huge!! And I only own around 100, all from back in the day though...luckily most of the library is very cheap so any recommendations should be easy to add to the collection
@@Sinisteve i had around 1500 games at one point 🙄
minks36 minks36 Ping me your little list...I was playing fist 2 like you recommended, was really enjoying actually👌🏼
@@Sinisteve
here's a few to be going on with mate , there's loads more but few different styles of games here to try

last ninja 2
platoon
polar pierre
ghosts n goblins
the goonies
saracen
samurai warrior
dragons lair
dragons lair 2
spherical
ghost chaser
aliens
combat school
auf wiedersehen monty
Can't disagree with your No1 and No3 choices. I take it you don't own Wizball haha. Platoon had to be in there and Hot Rod. Still it's a controversial list and I guess a list that appeals to you.
Beaps73 yep definitely compiled with my nostalgia glasses on...but all good games that still play well today, my c64 collection is very small, I’ll check out the others you mentioned, although I could never get in to wizball on the Amiga
_Radar Ratrace?_ ABSOLUTELY NOT! That game will drive you NUTS in about 10 minutes with its 5 second repeating "soundtrack". And its non-smooth scrolling is jarring too. Nice early attempt* at Rally-X, but no thanks!
* Radar Ratrace came out the same year the C64 was released, so they were still learning about what the C64 could do.
Hahaha the nostalgia glasses were firmly on when I made this, I’ll still have fun with radar rat race now and still prefer the cat and mouse theme to rally x, although I haven’t actually put that much time into rally x, I should really
@@Sinisteve I think Radar Ratrace was the very first game I bought for my C64 back in the day. I seem to remember they were selling it for about $5! It was a cartridge, so at least I didn't have to suffer through super long loading times only to be disappointed! Still, good times.
didn't you like boulderdash?
:-)
That’s a lot of people’s favourite, don’t think I’ve ever played it! I’ll check it out👍
@@Sinisteve
i love that game!
:-)
No RPGs.
How is Radar Rat Race a good game? Eyuch.
For the same reason Namco’s Rally X is a good game😉
Well after watching this video I now realise what I missed out on not having a c64 conclusion not much😂 I'm glad I had a speccy! Long live the spectrum and death to all c64s! Joking aside though Steve another cool video mate keep up the good work
Without further ado Retro I pity the neglected kids that had to put up with spectrums😂😂
@@Sinisteve I was still waiting for the good games to come up and the video finished😂
Without further ado Retro 😂hope you done a video on spectrum disk supercars before you sold it because it was wankage haha
I can feel one of these list videos coming on top ten times the spectrum kicked the c64s ass😂👍
Without further ado Retro that’ll be a short video lol...have you got 2 spare minutes today to knock it together
There's a number of trash titles here...
Like what?
@earthlysecent haha lol, go buy a PlayStation and let us Enjoy these gems:-)
These are some of the worst games on the platform. Have you spent more than 3 minutes making this list?
it looks awful!
