Zork I - The Great Underground Empire
Jimbo says: This game is still hailed as one of the best text adventures of all time. Infocom's masterpiece is gripping, absorbing, addictive, and it has a great language parser! Go hunt for that treasure!

Commando
Neo-Rio says: A classic arcade conversion to the C64. Despite missing a few levels from the arcade game, the playability is flawless. The Rob Hubbard soundtrack puts the arcade version's to shame.

Realm of Impossibility
J2003C says: This is a suprisingly simple, yet fun game, despite the terrible rating by Zzap! Best played in 2 player mode in cooperation, but also fairly fun when played alone.

Hat Trick
J2003C says: Very close to the arcade game. Great feel and good response to joystick input. Makes a great 2P game too. Very challenging on the expert setting.

Falcon Patrol
Neo-Rio says: An obvious 'Defender' ripoff, but a playable classic anyway. You're holding off waves of fighter planes from bombing your fuel bases. Tail up behind the planes and blast them!

Untouchables, The
Neo-Rio says: In the same vein as their masterful "Platoon" game, Ocean have done the same for the C64 version of "The Untouchables".
The graphics and atmosphere of 1920's prohibition is great, and difficulty is on par with Platoon as well.

Arcade Classics
graveyardjohn says: An excellent Firebird £1.99 game, with four classic arcade games - Spacewar, Snakes, Space Invaders and Asteroids, and a top Hubbard heavy-rock soundtrack.
|
Smurfen
Neo-Rio says: C64 rip-off of the old Atari game... playable but fondly remembered for the Michael Jackson "Billy Jean" SID music cover!
|
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!
