Back in the day I think we spent more time copying disks, pirating software, and punching the disks to make them double-sided than we actually spent playing.
How much I miss those times when the gaming world was all new to us, full with wonders and colors and we loved every moment of it. Youngsters now play 10 times higher quality games on their mobile phones and never satisfied with anything. Games all look better now but kids today can never understand how we felt back in the 80s and early 90s when all of this was truly a miracle to us
I was about to type a long scathing message lambasting you for your top 50 Commodore games until I realized it was for 1987 only. Feeling better now. Great job putting together the list!
Finally got a C64 for xmas '86 (after owning a spectrum and acorn electron), so 1987 was my first full year of gaming on the system. A great year for Commodore titles (a few of these i dont remember). Loved the Microprose games Airborne Ranger and Pirates! (the packaging was classy). Also Stavros Fasoulas's "Delta" which only got 74% in ZZAP! but i thought it was a great shoot-em-up with superb music from Rob Hubbard.
In my youth, I spent Thanksgiving afternoon playing Krackout (especially with its interesting gameplay character variety) along with my moms classical music playing as the scent of dinner looms while being prepared upstairs...I'll never forget this!
I agree, but the "rise" of them 16-bit machines happened quick after 1988 or so. But C64 really had some great, great titles in 1987. No disputing that whatsoever.
Loved Maniac Mansion. Unlocked every ending. Played with every character. A masterpiece of the 80s. Airborne Ranger, too. Oh man, can't stop editing my coment, lol. Played 90% of the games.
My first year owning a C64. Probably too late a time to get one but still had a blast in spite of PC DOS taking over more and more. We have to start somewhere. And a C64 was probably the best 8 bit computer for games ever. Especially if money was tight and you actually wanted to play computer games and couldn't afford a PC that was at least 10x the price.
Bubble Bobble, IK+, Defender of the crown & Buggy Boy were the best ones from that list. IK+ was a blast, they really need to remake that, it was so much fun!!! There were many more not on this list too I am sure. I had 100s of games. I owned a C16, C64, Amiga 500 and then an Amiga 1200, so you could say I was a bit of a Commodore fan boy!!! I loved games like Kick off 2, Lotus, Super Cars 2 the first Championship Manager games and first Civilization games. I still play Civ VI way more than any other game and you could say the same thing about Football Manager 2024 too. You could also say that the commodore era of games shaped the type of games I love and still play 40 years later!!!
Hands down, the C64 is the best computer ever. I own a PS5, and it is an empty husk when compared to this machine. I wish somebody would do a version of Wizball for the PS5.
The C64 was a great computer, here are some of the classics I enjoyed, manic miner, jet set willy, chuckie egg, kokotoni wilf, atic atak, scuba dive, alien8, halls of the things and few more I have forgotten, good memories
Here are some of my favorite C64 games from back in the days. Trust, Antiriad, Choplifter, summer/winter games, ghost & goblins, IK, pitfall 2, spy vs spy 2, moon patrol
It's shocking how smoother Buggy Boy is in comparison to test drive, even though it seemingly does have more advanced graphics (the dashboard in Test Drive is more for limiting the game window for performance reasons I guess).
Woohoo!! I only knew (and played) maybe 7 or 8 of the games. And the others I haven't even heard of. Could be because I changed to the Atari ST in 1986 when I was going to University. And I didn't either know that so many Spectrum games were ported to the C64. They look so speccy on the Commodore, really ridiculous :-))
Could be, but I am limited to a particular year in each "Top games" video - 1987 in this case. ;) I did like Wonderboy and Rampage a lot back in the days. And Space Harrier, I think it's quite well done as well. But, of course, this is just my personal opinion. Thanks for watching the video!
@@retrononame sorry, I have to apologise. I didn't see best games of "1987". For the year, rampage would probably make it. Still not sure about space harrier though. Remember it being very hard to make out anything. Music wasn't half bad though.
My top 8: 1. Pirates (G.O.A.T.) 2. World Class Leaderboard 3. Rampage 4. California Games 5. Arkanoid 6. Bop n Rumble 7. Test Drive 8. The Train : Escape to Normandy.
I think I saw that one recently in a list for '85, I remember drawing maps for that game and everything but I never got very far as it was so damn hard.
This video covers only the games released in 1987. Flimbo was (if I recall correctly) released in 1990, so it will feature in the future video, when I cover that particular year. Thanks for watching!
@stackhat8624 no. Thank you for an answer though. All I remember is that it had a black screen and the landscape was blue. And you were flying(scrooling) left n right. It was like a space city, you had to pick up the the guys and dont crush them while landing.
Yeah, we needed to use our imagination a bit in order to "teleport ourselves" into strange worlds inside the 1980s video games :) But it was still magical... at least for me.
I’m looking for somebody to copy some of my favourite commodore 64 games onto floppy discs so I could play on my system that I just bought. I could eat transfer you the money or PayPal the money do you know anybody there’s about 20 games total?
This is a list of top 50 C64 games for the year of 1987 ;) You can find Ghosts 'n Goblins in the video covering the year of 1986, Zak will be included in the next video (covering the 1988) and Turrican is (if I recall correctly) a 1990 game. Thanks for watching!
Totally the *high water mark* for the C64. My top two games for the platform came out that year (Defender of the Crown and Pirates!) and I am happy to say that 35 years later I am still playing them both.
I remember those times, I was fourteen. It was the peak of the C-64, but from then on the Amiga was on the rise. Glorious times the youth of today can't understand.
I was 10 and didn't actually own the C64. My cousin did though :) I had ZX Spectrum back then, so had access to "both worlds". Different (but good) times though, yes.
@@kidkique Because they'll never experience the fascination of a brandnew medium. My first experience was actually "Pong" at home, the fascinaton of the opportunity to move an object on the TV-set was unique. The progression of this kind of joy was only in this time. Kids of today only get perfection.
Commodore 64 a masterpiece of technology that was hijacked by much poorer computers. My high school had a room of C64's and every second weekend thieves were breaking in to steal them. Never happened once the PC's were dumped in
Can someone help me find a game? Mid 80s on the C64, might have even been on the Amstrad 6128K. Sci-fi type FPS game, you start off in your spaceship getting launched into space from like a mother ship. You end up landing on a planet, and all i remember is getting a alien start punching your front windshield, it starts cracking, and thats it, game over. I was around 8-10 years old, and thats as far as i got in the game. Zero idea what the game was called, and google has not been helpful.
I'm so happy the The Last Ninja was at 4:20 - I was literally dominating a fat blunt and my 2nd fav' C-64 game. As for WIZBALL, my all time favourite C-64 game. Stuff of legend.
There were many games released in 1987 for C64 and we all have our own favoruites and/or games that we think are worthy of top 50 spot ;) Thanks for watching!
So many 1987 games to choose from! Hard to choose the "top" ones other than some obvious no-brainers (like Pirates!). A couple other titles worth checking out are Crossroads (Compute), and Spore (Mastertronic) Crossroads and Crossroads 2 are noteworthy as perhaps the best type-ins ever, and they can be seen as a high resolution update of another C64 classic, Wizard of Wor. Spore is a bit interesting to me as a Gauntlet/puzzle hybrid.
Sorry, but I didn't (and don't) really like Ace 2. Was checking the score on Lemon 64 and if the score would be very high, I would include the game. But, it has 6.46 score at the moment, so it seems that other players generally agree with me that Ace 2 is not bad, but it's also not a top top game. We all have our own favourites, of course, and I respect your opinion that Ace 2 should be in Top 50 of 1987 C64 games. Thanks for watching and commenting! Much appreciated!
@@retrononame ACE II was 100% functional and FUN TWO-player flightsim. To my knowledge, there pretty much isn't any other such game on the C64. And unlike most other flightsims on C64, it wasn't choppy or slow. And you COULD play "campaign" mode if you really wanted, but 2-player mode was where it was superb. Dunno how many times i've played just "guns only" dogfights against friends on it. Many many times...
Bop and rumble 😂 I knew I would find you if I watched enough RUclips videos, I remember spinning people above your head. My cousins and I loved that game 😎
Rampage,kick-start,rescue on fractalus,test drive,miami vice,california games...brings back so many memories and thr ocean loader by matt gray...been gaming since 85,still collecting consoles at 42
I'm trying to find a commodore 64 game Don't remember the name of it It had a guy with a red balloon in it I remember that and I remember there was a couple caves in the game and it said AC/BC on the caves It was kind of like a RPG game It was really fun Love that game I just wish I remember the name of it If anyone knows the name of this game please respond I would really appreciate it
@@Debbiebabe69 No time tunnel is not the game It looks sort of like that game but that's not it I really wish it was Thanks for your help so much If you could think of any other ones let me know
My favourites were Aztec Challenge, Boulder Dash, Spindizzy, Highway Encounter, Jet Set Willy, 1942, Summer and Winter Games, Yie Are Kung Fu, Way Of The Exploding Fist, Kung Fu Master, David's Midnight Magic Pinball and Bruce Lee and Ghosts'n Goblins and Miami Vice, Henry's House, Out Run, Up'n Down, Paper Boy
A watershed year for gaming in the c64. A real leap in quality over previous years pushing the boundaries of the machine. A lot of the all time classics from 87.
The problem is the games are emulated and without interpolation, as in the CRT TV. It's better on a CRT or in a secam system TV. But for History, it's no price. 1987 is the beginning of lower production of games. two years later, 90% of those games will be bad, because they will attempt to make adaptations of arcade games made by machines far superior (CPS1 from Capcom or Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and eventhe powerful 2D Capcom CPS2!). The programmers and graphists are not to blame, but the producer or the editor, surely, because they have not given money to creativity, and because C64 is antique. The lack of 32 colours on C64 was a problem which was not one in my... Green small screen: the games were superb on it, because of that! And this period with one guy making alone a game distributed by an editor has ended. Exit Karateka or Beach Head!
OMG This list is friggin awesome. I probably played like 60-70% of these games. Couple of stand-outs: Last Ninja, Buggy Boy, Test Drive, Krakout, California Games, IK+, Arkanoid (heck yeah), Giana Sisters, Zynaps. Not in this video but friggin awesome: Uridium.
Sorry I cannot watch this all the way through. I have only played ONE computer game in my life. The original Bullfrog Syndicate. It was the best game ever and it will never be surpassed. I have worked in IT for 5 decades now. Started on IBM with programs compiled via punch cards. Perhaps that is why computer games never attracted me at all.
I remember Bop and Rumble but I seem to recall it being called Street Hassle in the UK. Not sure how much a game featuring a guy beating up blind men and little old ladies, amongst other enemies would fare today though.

Oh gosh. I totally forgot about punching the disks. Lol.
Punching discs... I missed this one I think lmfao
Haha🤣👍
🤣
Not to mention coding demos. 🙂
What a great year for the C64! Programmers really had mastered all aspects of the hardware by that time. Excellent list.
Agreed. The jump in quality of C64 games from 85 to 86 and 87 is very clear.
One of the best things to happen to the c64 was the amiga. The amiga to c64 ports were generally good stuff.
They did all i assembly... incresible

I was about to type a long scathing message lambasting you for your top 50 Commodore games until I realized it was for 1987 only. Feeling better now. Great job putting together the list!
Thanks.
Too many great games on these systems, so I decided to do the lists covering each year the machine was relevant on the gaming market.
Yeah I agree.
The last ninja. Being able to move diagonally up the pathway was revolutionary
Yeah, it looked amazing.
The feeling when starting the last ninja up at some friends house.. Wow. It was amazing.

Could argue with amiga and st still finding their feet, c64 was best games machine in the world at this point....so many top games.
I agree, but the "rise" of them 16-bit machines happened quick after 1988 or so. But C64 really had some great, great titles in 1987. No disputing that whatsoever.

Airborne Ranger, too.
Oh man, can't stop editing my coment, lol.
Played 90% of the games.
Neuromancer ?
Giana Sisters and Arkanoid were my favourites...I missed Frogger...😅😚
Played Giana Sisters a ton with my cousin on his C64. Great game (even though it was a copy of Mario) :)
Giana Sisters and Maniac Mansion, my two favourite C64 games at that time and they aged incredibly well!
i´m born in 1981, and I still remember this: Turbo Tape - SYS 52598!😃😅😇
best year of C64 games - in 50 titles i found 10 my best games on c64
It was indeed a great year for C64 gaming!

Platoon was from 1987. I know the movie was from 1986 but the game came out in 1987. Project Stealth Fighter also came out in 1987
Hands down, the C64 is the best computer ever. I own a PS5, and it is an empty husk when compared to this machine. I wish somebody would do a version of Wizball for the PS5.
Nice top of commodore 64 games 👍
7:06 Renegade is a super retro fighting game!

Spectrum games
@Panscrank999
Yes you are right, got confused as I had both of those great computers in the day.
Wizball way ahead of its time, brilliant game!! Enjoyed completing that!!!!
Totally agree,one of the games I completed without cheating.👍🏻
Defender of the Crown. Best game ever :)
Here are some of my favorite C64 games from back in the days.
Trust, Antiriad, Choplifter, summer/winter games, ghost & goblins, IK, pitfall 2, spy vs spy 2, moon patrol

O.M.G I was just wondering if "The last Ninja" would be on here? And that same second it came on!!
Last ninja is a great game that more than deserves to be on the top 50 C64 games of 1987 ;)
Thanks for watching!
@@retrononame absolutely a great game! 👍
Wizball is still in my personal top 10 C64 games list
Think some of those games stretch the definition of best games.
Space Harrier?
Wonderboy?
Rampage?

Finished Head over Heels many times
Never managed to do that. Played it a lot (though on the Spectrum - didn't have C64 back then). But never finished it.
If Super Hangon isn't here I will not be amused.

Some gems and some really bad an generic ones in here. Man, I miss the time... 🙂

I think I saw that one recently in a list for '85, I remember drawing maps for that game and everything but I never got very far as it was so damn hard.
Bob'n rumble seemed badass. Head butting grannies and blind people? Hell's yeah!!! +10
Yes it was, hm, a bit different :)
No way would this kind of game be published today.
What was that boxing game after every round bruises and cuts showed up on each boxer?
some are clearly spectrum ports that brought the colour issues with them
I somehow had so many of these but never bought any
1987 was a great year for the C64 obviously.
sooooo many of the games on there that i wasted many an hour playin back in the day
Didn't we all waste so many hours back then? Happy times for sure...
Not a waste!
Depends who you asking (hint - parents). ;)
Test drive was one of those must have games , driving different iconic cars even having the option of 2 joystics to drive one for shifting gears.
Agreed. Test Drive is a fantastic game.
I thought it was awesome then playing these games then. How we evolved so much.
Californie games 😍😍😍😍 Amiga 500 🥰🥰🥰
Flimbo’s quest should be on here
This video covers only the games released in 1987.
Flimbo was (if I recall correctly) released in 1990, so it will feature in the future video, when I cover that particular year.

No Gunship or Silent Service???
This has the great giana sisters game on it?

Space Taxi?

A watershed year for gaming in the c64. A real leap in quality over previous years pushing the boundaries of the machine. A lot of the all time classics from 87.
There some goodies in there.. Renegade was my substitute for Double Dragon..
The problem is the games are emulated and without interpolation, as in the CRT TV. It's better on a CRT or in a secam system TV. But for History, it's no price. 1987 is the beginning of lower production of games. two years later, 90% of those games will be bad, because they will attempt to make adaptations of arcade games made by machines far superior (CPS1 from Capcom or Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and eventhe powerful 2D Capcom CPS2!). The programmers and graphists are not to blame, but the producer or the editor, surely, because they have not given money to creativity, and because C64 is antique. The lack of 32 colours on C64 was a problem which was not one in my... Green small screen: the games were superb on it, because of that!
And this period with one guy making alone a game distributed by an editor has ended. Exit Karateka or Beach Head!
Come on bro, Nebulus.
You're right. I should have included Nebulus!
OMG This list is friggin awesome. I probably played like 60-70% of these games. Couple of stand-outs: Last Ninja, Buggy Boy, Test Drive, Krakout, California Games, IK+, Arkanoid (heck yeah), Giana Sisters, Zynaps. Not in this video but friggin awesome: Uridium.
Thank you!
You can find Uridium in the Top 50 C64 games of 1986 list (here: ruclips.net/video/2pGaJrg2d0A/видео.html )
Sorry I cannot watch this all the way through. I have only played ONE computer game in my life. The original Bullfrog Syndicate. It was the best game ever and it will never be surpassed. I have worked in IT for 5 decades now. Started on IBM with programs compiled via punch cards. Perhaps that is why computer games never attracted me at all.
Copying games with Hacker 4 and dissector 3
The c64 was my favorite computer , loved all the games and going online to the BBS
Bop 'n Rumble was released under the title Street Hassle in the UK.
I used to enjoy Canyons of Zelaz. My Stepson and I typed in the program from the BASIC code printed in RUN magazine ...
I remember Bop and Rumble but I seem to recall it being called Street Hassle in the UK. Not sure how much a game featuring a guy beating up blind men and little old ladies, amongst other enemies would fare today though.
A lot of very good games born in 1987! 👍
Agreed! Fantastic year for C64 gaming scene.
