Wizball
Mayhem says: Once you get over the initial control foibles (which sadly put quite a few people off), there's a whole new world out there just waiting to be coloured up. Cunning, ruthless and fun, if a bit easy. Gameplay ideas were second to none however.

MULE
Neo-Rio says: When people talk about classic game design, this game often gets mentioned. It's a simple multiplayer economics simulation involving robot mules. It's always more fun to play with others than to play alone.

Manic Miner
Matt Larsen says: Software Projects' classic single-screen platformer. Still fun to play even now... each new level offers something different from the last!
|
Crystal Fever
Neo-Rio says: A very impressive and polished "BoulderDash" clone which includes more features than the original. Also includes a two player simultaneous mode. With a built in construction kit, you really won't be able to drop the joystick.

Island of Dr. Destructo, The
graveyardjohn says: Destroy the attacking planes before they sink the ship you're defending. Very enjoyable!
|
Stop the Express
Neo-Rio says: This game originally appeared on the MSX if I'm not mistaken. It's just as fun on the C64 as well.
|
Raid on Bungeling Bay
Neo-Rio says: A classic shooter. Drop your payload of bombs onto the factories, blast airplanes, defend your carrier, and sink the ship under construction - if you can!
|
Dropzone
Mayhem says: Utterly superb shooter based on Stargate by Archer Maclean. If you can't beat it, copy it!
|
Tetris
graveyardjohn says: One of the first batch of Tetris releases to the world, the C64 version is not so much a game, its more of a diversion while you enjoy the 20-odd minute soundtrack.
