linksfiend Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Don't forget Double Dribble, or as the voice sounded like...vovel vivel For Blades of Steel, the middle syllable was both stressed and a bit mispronounced: pen-EHL-tee. Even tempo for all the syllables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quester74 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Lode Runner, Jumpman, Ghostbusters and especially Might & Magic I.. those got the most play time on my C64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUFootball29 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I remember getting snowed in at a friends house one weekend and we must have played hundreds of rounds of Summer and Winter Games on the 64. Loading those games upon the floppy disks and going through what seemed like dozens of bags of Swanson Chips (mostly a Jimmytown thing) and countless "longneck return for deposit bottles" of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. Wasted youth? After 25 years... no freakin way! Memories made. LMAO, Swanson chips, I remember those, hated em but everyone I knew loved those things. I had a commodore as my first computer learning to run it when i was 5. Super Huey, Summer Games, Bruce Lee, Richard Petty Racing. Ah, such great games, I miss them all. Oh well, guess I'll go play some Battlefield Bad Company 2 while I reminisce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Probably Hardball. I had that game for my IBM clone later on. Fun game, except that if you tried to make your own team and started your stats from zero it was impossible to hit homeruns. Everyone was a slap hitter forever.

I was really young when my grandfather got a c-64. My fav games were Zeppelin Rescue and Blue Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I dont know why I saved it, but I still have my C-64, floppy drive and documentation My brother still has his - box and all. Given that he is a total computer geek it ranks high among his most valued holdings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 May I add Defender of the Crown and Bruce Lee to that list of awesome games? And of course, summer games...a game which required actual physical activity. A precursor to the Wii maybe? I think i broke 2 or 3 commodore 64 joysticks playing summer games and wiggling the damn thing back and forth to get your guy to run. Bruce Lee was a fantastic game as well as Lode Runner.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Elite and MULE both ROCK! I don't know why they haven't remade them. Well, there was a remake of Elite years ago but it sucked... Archon and Archon II were both awesome games, as was Mail Order Monsters. And of course, Alternate Reality I must offer up Bard's Tale I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I remember we could never get Super Huey to run on ours.... I can't remember the name of one game in particular. In it, you're a space ship, where you controlled the altitude and would hover above ships that passed by and had to shoot things on their deck. Anyone remember?

sfladave Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My first compter was the Timex Sinclair 1000. 2K SRAM and 8K ROM, what a beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My first compter was the Timex Sinclair 1000. 2K SRAM and 8K ROM, what a beast! I had one of those! And the Timex Sinclair 2068. http://www.concentric.net/~alxevans/TS2068.html We also had the Intellivision computer add-on which was kinda cool - although we had no way to save anything we changed... Then we got the C64 and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Man Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Jumpman, Archon and the Summer and Winter Games were all awesome. I feel the need to also throw Raid Over Moscow and Beachhead 1 and 2 out there as must-haves back then. Also, Impossible Mission. "Stay a while.... stay forever! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" (Though I am not sure I ever actually figured out how to win that game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Impossible Mission was also great - I never won it either, it was tough! Raid on Bungeling Bay was also awesome -- when your chopper took too much damage, you could try to crash into buildings to destroy them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGnDBUrhoWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get a showdown against the faceless voice? EDIT: I checked it out on YouTube. How anti-climactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad had the C64 (he was an airline mechanic, not a computer geek) . I remember playing it as a kid, so i must have been 6-7 years old when i really got into it. (born in '81) The first game i remember playing and loving was Donald Ducks, where you had to "work" sorting baggage, or sorting fruits, or stocking toys to earn cash to build the playground. I think the most kick ass game we had was Raid over Moscow. My dad had 100s of games on the 64. 3 full racks of the 5.25 floppies. That system held me over until the mid-90s when i finally saved up enough allowance to buy a sega genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
