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.

Way of the Exploding Fist, The
Neo-Rio says: The great music, the fantastic graphics, the intelligent gameplay, are all things we remember about this fighting game. Not to mention the sampled Bruce Lee "Hiiyaaah" taken from the movie "Enter the Dragon", heard on the loading screen.

Quinx
Neo-Rio says: They don't make games with plots like this anymore. You have to stop worms doodling over your precious piece of paper, and eating it into pieces!
|
Stix
Neo-Rio says: A classic. This clone of Qix is great, and if you haven't played it, you owe it to yourself to do so.

Paradroid
Pugsy says: This game is most people's top ten, a classic and definitely Andrew Braybrook's finest hour (which is saying a lot in itself!)
|
Heavenbound
Neo-Rio says: This is a jolly little platforming game with a cute character. But this game has a surprisingly original twist.... a pink elephant must ride clouds to get to the pearly gates! This is one playable game!
|
Hyper Sports
Neo-Rio says: Sequel to "Track and Field" and possibly more well known on the Commodore 64. Fortunately the waggling events are punctuated by shooting and archery events - so hopefully you won't get carpal tunnel if you play too much.

Pit-Fighter - The Ultimate Competition
Neo-Rio says: This is my other favourite fighter on the C64. Gameplay is good enough plus you can have 2 players. I remember making a hack of this game to play as the enemy characters many years ago.

Mask of the Sun, The
Steve says: One of the great adventures from the early days of the C64. Great plot, nice parser.
