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
@@diegocanale1124 I dont think its possible. I tried to play some c64 games for nostalgic reasons but its just not the same feeling as back then. Also what is truly great about them is the wonderful memories they attached to. Playing with friends who are not there anymore and eating my dad's cooking while playing which can also never happen again. To me its whenever I see a specific c64 game I remember my old room, old music I was listening to and just the atmosphere which is now long lost.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
Bop and rumble 😂 I knew I would find you if I watched enough TH-cam videos, I remember spinning people above your head. My cousins and I loved that game 😎
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
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.
The Island of Dr Destructo theres a game I'd completely forgotten about. Good shout. Army Moves another classic with a great soundtrack. IK+ still looks amazing now.
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
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.
Lots of games on C64, but Maniac Manson and Zack McCracken are way ahead games for that time... Had to buy instructiopns as I remember... Same as map for Sid Meiers Pirates...
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
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.
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!!!
I played Test Drive all the time, karate game and ghost busters. I also wrote programs and made a weather prediction program. Back in the good Ole days!
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 :-))
ngl, looking back on some of those games it's crazy how the C64 and Amiga had some honestly impressive games, graphics wise. Not a majority of them of course, but a lot of them were damn good for their time.
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).
The jizzle in my pants when I first hear the theme to IK+ then Monty. Time to search for some of the other games and see if there are any longplays on them :) I've only played a fraction of the games shown here :D
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.
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
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.
By this time, the Amiga and the Atari ST had been released. However, the Commodore 64 still held its own, with programmers taking full advantage of the hardware. After all these years, the Commodore 64 still lives on and the games shown here are a testament to that fact. Thanks for making this video.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.

Nicely written, and I couldn't agree more.
Thanks for watching!
Fede: commodore computers were house.animal like, as cats or doggies!!! I LOVE IT
Yes, I agree with you 100%. The games were also really more intelligent, I think 👍
retrogaming is such a thing nowadays, trying to recapture the magic.
@@diegocanale1124 I dont think its possible. I tried to play some c64 games for nostalgic reasons but its just not the same feeling as back then.

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. 🙂
My first ever gaming experience was from aC64 in 1987 plugged in to my grandparents television. Wow what a trip down memory lane this is!
That's the point of these videos. To bring back memories of those great 80s ;)
Thanks for watching!
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.
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.
Airborne Ranger another great game from the list...
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 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.
Borrowing and Copying big Floppy Disks on the Schoolyard. Great Times. If you look at some mobilegames on smartphones now. They are not much better
I was 8 years old in 1987 and I agree The Nostalgia is strong but why don't you think today's youth can understand what it is to enjoy video games?
@@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.
@@GKitz211 I don't know man fully immersive VR is a pretty new medium that is pretty impressive to experience for the first time
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.
Neuromancer ?
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.
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.
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.
Brilliant Top 50 of Commodore 64 games again.
Absolutely love these videos as I'd forgotten some of the ones you've shown.
Top class again 👍
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
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!
Neither will I as I was downstairs with your mom and we wasn’t preparing dinner !
Maniac Mansion, Zak McCracken, Paperboy, Karate, Gina Sisters,....geil. Einfach und super...
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
Giana Sisters and Maniac Mansion, my two favourite C64 games at that time and they aged incredibly well!
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.
Wizball way ahead of its time, brilliant game!! Enjoyed completing that!!!!
Totally agree,one of the games I completed without cheating.👍🏻
Really good games at 1987. Thanks for sharing.
I played most of these games as a kid. It's nice to remember the titles :)
Great video , lots of found memories come back whilst watching, nice one
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
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!
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.

@Panscrank999
Yes you are right, got confused as I had both of those great computers in the day.
Nice video. I missed quite a few of these as a kid. The swamp in curse of Sherwood drove me crazy 😡
The music in some of those games just comes flooding back into my brain
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) :)
I am happy that I was of the generation that experienced gaming as something completely new and exciting.
Agreed 100%. Back then, everything was new and exciting.
Thanks for watching!
Pirates was possibly the single best C64 game for me.
It was a fantastic game for sure! Maybe not the greatest for me, but up there for sure.
Thanks for watching!
It was, at least for me. I spent weeks on it.
Apache Gunship 🤩
great memories.. thanks for the post.
Thank you!
I'm glad you got to relieve those special memories.
@@retrononame Subscribed! I urge others to the same!!!
loved those games, thanks for the video
Thank you!
I'm glad you liked the video!
Defender of the Crown. Best game ever :)
oh my, i was 12 back in 87 :) I Loved it, wonderful presentation and thanx for all the nice memories with this :) High 5
I was 10 :)
I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!
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.
Wizzball was just a classic.When you knew what you were doing it was an amazing experience,again one of my favourite games of all time 👍🏻
Maniac Manson , Test Drive etc.
i had them all on disc 👍👍👍😄
Nice top of commodore 64 games 👍
7:06 Renegade is a super retro fighting game!
i´m born in 1981, and I still remember this: Turbo Tape - SYS 52598!😃😅😇
Awesome, it's amazing to see California Games again.
The Island of Dr Destructo theres a game I'd completely forgotten about. Good shout. Army Moves another classic with a great soundtrack.
IK+ still looks amazing now.
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
spent days playing solomons key and the last ninja, absolute classics
Agreed, great games those two!
The c64 was my favorite computer , loved all the games and going online to the BBS
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: th-cam.com/video/2pGaJrg2d0A/w-d-xo.html )
Lots of games on C64, but Maniac Manson and Zack McCracken are way ahead games for that time... Had to buy instructiopns as I remember... Same as map for Sid Meiers Pirates...
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
Thought it was a massive upgrade in graphics and sound over my 48k ZX Spectrum, but the speccy was my first love.
Many of my favorite games are from this year, pheraps 1987 was the year C64 got his peak.
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.
Best year ever.
Looking at the games on this list , this has to b the best yr for the c64, way to many classics.
I think 87 was the peak C64 year. Great quality games and the trading scene was huge. I went to Amiga in late 88 and things went from there.!
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!!!
Takes me bk wen i was only 12 yrs old wen i first played games on the c-64 thanks for memory lane ended up with over 300 games 👍
You can get a game device that has all these games on it, if you really want to go down memory lane without having to wait for it to load. 🤣🤣🤣
Maniac Mansion was so burned in my brain^^
I played Test Drive all the time, karate game and ghost busters. I also wrote programs and made a weather prediction program. Back in the good Ole days!
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.

Time to search for some of the other games and see if there are any longplays on them :)
I've only played a fraction of the games shown here :D
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.
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! 👍
A lot of very good games born in 1987! 👍
Agreed! Fantastic year for C64 gaming scene.
I bought Kikstart 2 on cassette from local newsagents in the UK with money earned from Carol singing!
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
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.
Some graphically great looking games came out in '87!
My favourite games was Ik+ leaderboard and Barbarion oh and The last Ninja,I actually listened to more music demos on the C64.
What was that boxing game after every round bruises and cuts showed up on each boxer?
Army Moves ❤ That theme music!
They are the best for me: Rampage, Giana , Bop'n Rumble, Test drive, Narc, Pinball power, Commandos
Bop 'n Rumble was released under the title Street Hassle in the UK.
Saved the best for last, man :D
Got my C64 in 1988. It is still at my parents attic.
Wizball is still in my personal top 10 C64 games list
By this time, the Amiga and the Atari ST had been released. However, the Commodore 64 still held its own, with programmers taking full advantage of the hardware. After all these years, the Commodore 64 still lives on and the games shown here are a testament to that fact. Thanks for making this video.
BY 88 lazy gamers were all Nintendo. Real PC gamers still played C64. Literally no one played AMIGA and it never really caught on.
I used to enjoy Canyons of Zelaz. My Stepson and I typed in the program from the BASIC code printed in RUN magazine ...
great memories ❤❤

Think some of those games stretch the definition of best games.
Space Harrier?
Wonderboy?
Rampage?
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.
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.
i love c64 my fav system all-time it has great games
airborne ranger: depicting the osprey 2 years before its first flight
I don't know about 1987 precisely, but The Bard's Tale was one of the best.
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.
There some goodies in there.. Renegade was my substitute for Double Dragon..
I spent far too much time playing these games when I was a teenager. Regret it now
Giana sisters! 😱😍😍 I downloaded that on my playstation 3 😍🤣
If Super Hangon isn't here I will not be amused.
Ghost n goblins, Rambo, Lode runner. Bruce Lee, Fort Apocalypse.
This video only covers C64 games released in 1987 (check the title) ;)
Thanks for watching!
I never played any of these. I really preferred games like Carriers at War and Reach for the Stars. I did really love Archon though.
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.
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). ;)
1987 was a great year for the C64 obviously.
God I was on the bleeding edge for about 60 seconds
No Ace II?
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...
