@@alexd9735 Agreed. It was so many things neatly wrapped into one powerful combo. Sword fighting, sailing, harbour assault, land battles, trading, etc. etc.
There's so many...this list had many familliar ones but also many i never saw before. I liked best Defender of The Crown, The Great Giana Sisters, Skate Rock, Paperboy, Airborne Ranger, California Games, Pitstop 2, Toy Bizarre, Montezuma's revenge, Ghosts & Goblins and many more. Good times 😊
Pirates!, Seven Cities of Gold, Skate or Die, Wasteland, Ultima V, Pool of Radiance, Silent Service II, Red Storm Rising, .. I might be biased towards my own tastes, but I think every game in my list here is better than any of these in the video, which are mostly great games as well. I just like RPGs and simulations.. each to their own I guess..
There was a game that was like Defender of the Crown that I can't remember the title to. You could even be ex-communicated from the church if you didn't help them at times. Man, it's been so long ago, but it was great.
@@n00blamerin junior high I played Pool of Radience for hours a day after school. Man I was hooked on that game. Me and my buddy used to copy our high level characters and trade em with each other. But the random encounters were very annoying. 46 goblins attack lol. You'd just click auto attack and check in in about a half hour😀
"Seaside Special"? Never even heard of it. Over "Raid Over Moscow"? No way! As for Rambo, I'd put the game itself a little lower in the list, but the MUSIC is absolutely top notch. Martin Galway knocked it out of the park. When I first bought this game, me and a friend of mine loaded it up and just sat there listening to all of the music before we started the game (with our jaws hanging to the floor).
You can't have this list without Bubble Bobble. It's a game I still play today more than 30 years later and an all time favourite. Other games that I think should be on the list: Defender of the Crown, Pirates, Maniac Mansion, Zak MacKracken, Pool of Radiance, Champions of Krynn, Heroes of Might and Magic II and maybe at least one textbased advensture game like Gremlins, Zork or Spiderman.
This ^^ Heroes of Might and Magic II wasn't available for C64, it was released around the time when Windows 95 became a thing. Guess you meant the original Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World.
What I love about games back then was you had to accomplish it yourself. Nowadays if you get stuck you look for it on the internet and it tells you what to do.
Pirates!, Tower of Terror, F-14 Tomcat, Last Ninja 2, Giana Sisters, Gunsip!, Defender of the Crown, Wings of Fury, Test Drive - those are truly the best games, I loved playing those!
Plenty of games should be on the list. Barbarian I, Barbarian II, Maniac Mansion, Zak McKraken, Project Firestart, Mrs Pacman, Microprose Soccer, Impossible Mission 2, Salamander, Super Mario Bros, Great Gianna Sisters, Fist II, Last Ninja 2 & 3, Creatures, Bubble Bobble, Boulder Dash, and of course new titles such as Prince of Persia, Sonic the Hedgehog (that weren't I believe around when this video was released)
Project Firestart blew me away. Hours spent on that game and nary a regret. Just fired up my old 128D to show my son and found the disks. Might be time to take it for a spin!
@@kontrarien5721 You are kidding right? Just in case you're not: Super Mario Bros was released for the C64 in 2019. So it's just 5 years old. Back to C64 history class!
Elite - countless hours. There was one more like that but cant remember the title - it was on plannet surface flying between bases/stations also with economy/trade focus fending off pirate space ships....also in same kind of 'graphics'. Good old times :)
@@janneheinonen5922 Just checked...nope...it was in same graphic style as Elite...All comes to my mind is that among the goods to trade with you started usually with 'Plankton' among the goods to choose from :) :) And among your 'equipment' you could buy DECOYs that you could launch and enemies would follow it away from you if you were in trouble :) It was so long ago that I simply cant figure out the title. Another good game was Lords of Midnight - also tons of hours spent on it.
Microprose's Gunship (AH-64 Apache sim) was revolutionary, in that its every mission was always unique: including 1st and secondary targets, and randomly showing up supporting enemy units. And - if you took too long with your mission - in rapidly increasing numbers.
Loved my C64. Turrican was tremendous, played that over and over. Thrust was brutal, and IK+ if you played with mates was hilarious at times. Microprose soccer as well, and obviously Outrun. Should bring some of these games back, or at least release the arcade versions. Would love to play Outrun and Chase HQ again with some of the others. Though I don’t miss fast forwarding tapes!! 😂
Wait man - Spy versus Spy playing against my friends! That was way more fun than those online games of today! And then all these days that were filled with Knights of Legends.
Still waiting for the day I see Hobbit text adventure make one of these lists. It has this crazy intetesting early AI tech in it, whereby NPCs do random stuff, game world reacts in all these weird ways!
In my Top 10 would be: Elite Paradroid They stole a million Spy VS Spy: The Island caper. Bards Tale III Ghosts 'n Goblins Boulder Dash Winter Games Pirates! PSI-5 Trading Company And as honorable mention Wasteland
Dam busters. Lords of midnight. Yojimbo. I had or played 75% of the list happy memories :) Dam busters was a very unique game for me, in that you used the numbers 1-7 to change screen while flying the plane (engine, front gun, back gun, pilot controls, bomb sights, map room etc) take off plane fly to bomb target fly back land basically, avoiding spotlights flak and shooting down balloons or fighter planes) Lords of Midnight go around a map and recruit lords to your army and take on evil armies that greatly outnumber you. I never played anything else like it. Yojimbo. Side scrolling samurai rabbit looked cool back then :)
Sorry this is going to be a long one... Firstly why didnt this video show in my feed, lucky I nipped over to the channel! Phewww! Omg California games, I forgot about that game, I played the shit out of that! Thank you for reminding me of Thrust too, that was amazing. IK+ I would have to have higher, and where was my favourite all time C64 game, Bruce Lee! OSG mate, lucky I love your channels or that would have been unforgivable lol. Great video as always tho 👍🏴
Haha i remember the Rambo game, it crazhed at the same place everytime. And Pitstop 2. such great memories, and the graphic felt alot better back then :D
Nice list. A big subjective though. Mine would be full of Microprose and there would be no room for anything else lol. I'll definitely check out some of these.
When I saw one of my all time favourite C64 games was at 30, Raid Over Moscow, I thought this list won’t disappoint and it didn’t. Another great video. Thanks dude!
@@osg-extrabits3152- I spent ages as a kid working how to get out of that bloody hangar 😂 Many years later I downloaded it for a C64 emulator, hanger bloody doors again!
urgh, Gauntlet and Elite are not good games on the C64. Pyjamarama and Seaside Special are interesting choices. Ultima 4, Bards Tale, Pools of Radiance, Bomboozal, Armalyte, Antcipital, World Class Leaderboard, Entombed, Turrican 2, Summer Games 2, Sentinel, Ghouls N Ghosts, Ghosts and Goblins (the new one) Hessian, sams journey, mayhem in monsterland, spindizzy etc etc etc. Or, in other words, the C64 had an astonishingly good library of games.
I played them all. During that time. Vc20 in 1982 and Commodore 64 in 1983. I was 13. The Amiga 1000 in 1986 for the game changer...man miss those days and RAID OVER MOSCOW!
Played Gauntlet at Palisades Private School in Plano, Texas (by Collin Creek Mall) in 1984 as a 2nd Grader in the afterschool daycare program 3:15~5:30pm on Commodore 64
Ghostbuster brought back memories lol, I grew up on C64, with Pooyan, Tapper, Spy Hunter, Barbarians, Maniac Mansion, Zac McKraken, Blue Thunder, Duel, Paratroopa, Ghost and Goblins and many more already on this list.
It's a nice list. Lots of good memories. Can't say I agree with the order of the ones presented. You missed a few gems - Wizball, Space Ace 2101, Last Ninja 2, Bubble Bobble, Microprose International Soccer, Ghosts 'n Goblins, I, Ball, Yie Ar Kung Fu might have made the list.
Thank you for reminding me of Thrust! Will try to get that. For me, Apocalypse Now, Loderunner, Thing on a spring, Monty on the run, even Rat Race.. can‘t remember them all, oh wait, the Flight simulator, Pinball
Good list OSG. Opinions are like arseholes; everybody’s got one so here’s mine (opinion; not arsehole). I would substitute Rainbow islands with Bubble Bobble, I’d have The Sentinel in there somewhere and World Games over California Games.
Had couple hundred od C64 games. My favorites were Giana Sisters, Soccer manager games, The Summer/Winter games, Pirates, 1942 and many more😂 Druglord was funny too😅 My very first game was Frogger at around 1986 when i was 5 years old😅
Well done, but my C64 favorite of all time is… „Commando“! Best Soundtrack (much better than the original arcade version) ever made for C64 (thx Rob…) and amazing longtime motivation, in my early days 😅 maybe you shoud play that again ☝️😜 and move it to 1st place.
I started my computer experience on an Dragon 32, and then moved on to an Amiga 500 later on...but many friends of mine had C64's so I've played all of the games mentioned both in this video and comments. But one game that I loved playing back then seems to be missing; The Train!
Has no-one heard of Laser Squad and Lords of Chaos?! Those are two games I could still see myself playing these days, turn-based action rpg. Airborne Ranger was ahead of its time as well. Pirates. Boulder Dash construction kit was very enjoyable. Barbarian and Nemesis the Warlock.
I had a commodore 64 as a kid and my favorite game was Robocop 2 which was a cartridge and had no loading times and also was just a very fun game at the time. I don't think I finished any of the cassette games on the C64 because when I died the massive loading times just put me off, I got fed up waiting and gave up. I think I spent most of the time on the Commodore 64 waiting for it to load lol. Chuckie Egg was a good game too. Midnight Resistance, I would load up, die after a few seconds and face what seemed like a 10 minute loading time so I just gave up on it. That was out of the Night Moves collection I got with it. The loading times absolutely killed it for me though I tried to play it. I was very excited when I got the Commodore 64 as a kid and thought it was great. I had Ghostbusters and Last Ninja off this list but I could never make any progress in them because of the massive load times and instant deaths and sometimes my C64 itself used to just give up on trying to load. Eventually it just stopped loading altogether. Then all I could play was that Robocop 2 cartridge.
R-Type was GREAT, but you should have shown one of the levels with paralactic scroll. Same for Turrican, which was immpressive, a very state of art for the C-64.
i owned all of these c64 games bar leaderboard and paradroid. pyjamarama was my very first 64 game as it came in a bundle with kong strikes back (donkey kong on a roller coaster). I think that doorway in the first scene led to a game of space invaders
Racing Destruction Set was my favourite. There was another i really liked. But I cannot remember the title. You had a space ship and had to rescue people. But you didn't know if it was a Human or an Alien until it was close to your ship. if it was an Alien you had to get out of there quick lol.
Defender of The Crown was awesome with "photographic" graphics and nice gameplay. But I think it was originally an Amiga A1000/ A500 game which was later made for C64.
Zack Mc Kracken, Maniac Mansion, Detective, Bubble Bobble, Spiky Harold, Golden Talisman, Green Beret, Summer Games, Bruce Lee, Choplifter, Ghost n Goblins, Barbarian, Microprose Soccer.......
playing elite on my C64 I would fly out of the station and go max range from it and fly full speed rotating in the opposite direction and fly right into the station without crashing. this is all based on timing when in the docking stations rotation you start your inbound flight.
Nostalgia C=64😊! Many legendary games missing, e.g. Fort Apocalypse, Pike's Peak, GI Joe, Summer Games, They stole a Million and of course: The Bard's Tale!
All good games. Some of my favorites were shogun, adventure construction set(the best) , age of adventure , return of Heracles , law of the west and mail order monster
Excellent list. Agree with just about everything there. Maniac Mansion, Druid 2, Eagles Nest, Eidolon, Mario Bros by Atari are all very good. Enigma Force, Impossible Mission and Frankie are my favourite games on the platform.
Ballblazer? Bomb Jack annoyeed me too death as your chacter was just too big. Cant argue with the others though. I would have Wizball, Bubble Bobble and Buggy Boy in as they were great games. I might even try to sneak the Sentinel in as that was a cracking game. Honourable mentions go to Koronis Rift and Rescue on Fractulus. The best thing is about the C64 is that someone else could have 30 totally different games in their top 30 and you could fing reasons to agree. I wish PC Game creators could extract as much from current hardware as was somehow pulled out of the 8 bits.

....and Smurf!
....and GI Joe!!
Me too with Bubble Bobble
Racing destruction set, Football manager, green beret, summer & winter games, international football all in my top 30
Racing destruction set was cool. But the loading times on datasette were killing me. Later with 1541 and SpeedDOS good.
Yes racing destruction set
I loved Rambo. The fact it was somewhat random with weapon drops gave it a lot of replay value. I hadn't seen that before
No Jumpman? No Space Taxi? Gotta have an appreciation for the classics!
C64 games were brutal. Made us tough.
Don’t know how many times I yelled, “The computer’s cheating!!!”
Yes
R-Type still hard to beat
Definitely
Ahahah 😂
It’s weird how I miss digital innocence. Wasting my time felt better these days
"he slimed me" really brought me back. enjoy your like
What I love about games back then was you had to accomplish it yourself. Nowadays if you get stuck you look for it on the internet and it tells you what to do.
that's not entirely true. I remember zapped 64 magazine used to put in cheat notes.
Not immediately though, was normally months after the game was released
The real difference is:
Back then you often needed some help and it was hard to get
Nowadays it's everywhere, but you often don't need it anyways...
Pirates!, Tower of Terror, F-14 Tomcat, Last Ninja 2, Giana Sisters, Gunsip!, Defender of the Crown, Wings of Fury, Test Drive - those are truly the best games, I loved playing those!
Skate Rock
Skate rock!
Kick-start II was epic . Loved the course builder

I think I spent most of the time on the Commodore 64 waiting for it to load lol. Chuckie Egg was a good game too.
Midnight Resistance, I would load up, die after a few seconds and face what seemed like a 10 minute loading time so I just gave up on it.
That was out of the Night Moves collection I got with it.
The loading times absolutely killed it for me though I tried to play it. I was very excited when I got the Commodore 64 as a kid and thought it was great.
I had Ghostbusters and Last Ninja off this list but I could never make any progress in them because of the massive load times and instant deaths and sometimes my C64 itself used to just give up on trying to load.
Eventually it just stopped loading altogether.
Then all I could play was that Robocop 2 cartridge.
R-Type was GREAT, but you should have shown one of the levels with paralactic scroll.
Same for Turrican, which was immpressive, a very state of art for the C-64.
Silk Worm, North and South, P.O.W, Maniac Mansion, Lost Patrol, Turrican II, Giana Sisters, Hostages, Cannon Fodder, Indiana Jones......
Some weird choices that I would have exchanged with Defenders of the Crown, G.I. Joe, Bruce Lee, Aliens, The Last V8 and Test Drive
Rambo was awesome, I'll never forget that sound!
i owned all of these c64 games bar leaderboard and paradroid. pyjamarama was my very first 64 game as it came in a bundle with kong strikes back (donkey kong on a roller coaster). I think that doorway in the first scene led to a game of space invaders
Have some good ones here but any list should include Winter/Summer Games and Raid Over Bungeling Bay to name a few
And Microprose Soccer. Had so much fun with that and Summer/Winter games with 4 player tournaments.
Raid over Bungling Bay was awesome
@@mikemurray3962 another fan! Gotta love a game from the 80s that had that a parade with fireworks when you won 😎
@@StreetComp totally forgot about that!👍
I remember most of them i born in 1977 and in 1990 still play that games
Racing Destruction Set was my favourite.
There was another i really liked. But I cannot remember the title. You had a space ship and had to rescue people. But you didn't know if it was a Human or an Alien until it was close to your ship. if it was an Alien you had to get out of there quick lol.
Defender of The Crown was awesome with "photographic" graphics and nice gameplay. But I think it was originally an Amiga A1000/ A500 game which was later made for C64.
Zack Mc Kracken, Maniac Mansion, Detective, Bubble Bobble, Spiky Harold, Golden Talisman, Green Beret, Summer Games, Bruce Lee, Choplifter, Ghost n Goblins, Barbarian, Microprose Soccer.......
Was für eine Zeit 😛😍ich habe immer gerne Maniac Mansion gespielt 🥳🤗
Summer Games 1+2, World Games, Winter Games, Summer Edition, Winter Edition, Track & Field, Miner 2049er, Bounty Bob Strikes back, Boulder Dash, Spy vs Spy, Blue Max, Zaxxon,
playing elite on my C64 I would fly out of the station and go max range from it and fly full speed rotating in the opposite direction and fly right into the station without crashing. this is all based on timing when in the docking stations rotation you start your inbound flight.
Nostalgia C=64😊! Many legendary games missing, e.g. Fort Apocalypse, Pike's Peak, GI Joe, Summer Games, They stole a Million and of course: The Bard's Tale!
I had a Amiga 500 in 1989 ! And this games was brutal good !
In that time the Graphik was high end for me😂
All good games. Some of my favorites were shogun, adventure construction set(the best) , age of adventure , return of Heracles , law of the west and mail order monster
Those hugely important "coordinates" and other stats while trying to get that damn plane out of the hangar... XD
That brought back some memories 😁
Mate I really miss BeachHead2 on this list, I used to play it with a friend back in t'he day
'MEDICCCC!!!!!!'
Excellent list. Agree with just about everything there. Maniac Mansion, Druid 2, Eagles Nest, Eidolon, Mario Bros by Atari are all very good. Enigma Force, Impossible Mission and Frankie are my favourite games on the platform.
Trap Door!! Commando music is so good!
Another amazing list my friend!!
So much of those games were about the amazing sound design.
Defender of the crown i played a ton.
But otherwise Giana sisters, bubble bobble, Boulder dash and a few others were my favorites.
The Last Ninja was by far the best game with the best sound track!
Ballblazer? Bomb Jack annoyeed me too death as your chacter was just too big. Cant argue with the others though. I would have Wizball, Bubble Bobble and Buggy Boy in as they were great games. I might even try to sneak the Sentinel in as that was a cracking game. Honourable mentions go to Koronis Rift and Rescue on Fractulus. The best thing is about the C64 is that someone else could have 30 totally different games in their top 30 and you could fing reasons to agree. I wish PC Game creators could extract as much from current hardware as was somehow pulled out of the 8 bits.
Agreed Bomb Jack was an awful conversion.
Had those games on Spectrum too. Dizzy rulezz!
Missing Lords Of Midnight, Racing Destruction Set, Way Of The Exploding Fist and Infiltrator, but good list.
