Zork I - The Great Underground Empire
Steve says: first-ever "interactive-fiction"-product from infocom and the most popular text adventure ever, written in 1981; Infocom essentially invented the wheel to fit the limitations of the day. Flawed by current standards, but still a remarkable achievement. You, the adventurer, stumble on the remains of the Great Underground Empire, and seek out the treasures hidden there.

Le Mans
Neo-Rio says: This was the first game I had for my C64. I always loved the original Sega Monaco GP, and this game is a blatant rip-off!
|
Hagar the Horrible
Neo-Rio says: This console-esque platformer came along late in the C64's life, but it was really a great game to play, with cameo appearances from other Hagar characters. Collect as much treasure for Helga as you can!
|
Sanxion
Neo-Rio says: This game is one incredibly polished side-shooter. The game is extremely playable, the title music (classical music!) is great. The loader music was probably one of Hubbard's best tracks.

BMX Simulator
graveyardjohn says: An early Codemasters game, complete with a completely non-prejudiced 'stunning' type quote from one of the Darling bros. Race around the seven tracks and beat the time limit, but watch out for the indestructible computer opponent!
|
Pipe Mania
Neo-Rio says: Tantalizingly easy concept. Just lay your pipes down to make a longer one, but hurry before the pipe starts flowing! Player beware, this game induces as much addiction and panic as Tetris does.

ACE II
Neo-Rio says: Head to head dogfighting simulator, so you can most certainly blow up your friend in an air battle, or take on the computer. Yet another game to be graced by a Rob Hubbard music score.

Arcticfox
Matt Larsen says: Electronic Arts put out some of the best titles for the C64. Is it any wonder they are still in business 20 years later? This was my favorite simulation game as a kid.
|
Ramparts
Neo-Rio says: I never liked Rampage too much because it was just about impossible. Ramparts has the difficulty set just right and is a much more elegant game!
