The C=64 games that must come!

I haven't been on here for ages, and I see C=64 games are available on VC!
Time to investigate

Two games that NEED to be on there are Creatures 1 & 2 by Thalamus.
I dunno how many people remember them but for me, to this day, they are possibly the best platformers ever made. Up there with Mario and Banjo!
They were so inventive and soooo funny!

Other favs that'd be good to see:

Stunt Car Racer
Joe Blade 2
Frightmare
Traz (Would it be possible to include the level creator?)
The Great Escape
Cosmic Causeway
Jet Set Willy
Wizball
The Sentinal
KICKSTART 2 (Fully deserves capitals!!)
Quinx
Zolyx
Skool Daze

I could go on for sooo long, lol.

One gripe, 500 points? That's so overpriced it isn't even funny!
Although for a game like Impossible Mission I suppose you're getting good value for money still.

They should be 200 though.

Wizard is really the only game I remember playing on my c64. It's been a while.

And yeah, 500 points is pretty steep for glorified qbasic games.

I was wondering why the C. I never heard about this console, I thought it was the N64 since he mentioned Banjo.

It should be noted that Commodore 64 (not Comadore) games are only for Europe at this point. No plans have been announced to bring them anywhere else yet.


For those not familiar with it, it was a computer, not a game console (although had a huge library of games). Here's more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64

The Commodore 64 was HUGE in the US (which is why it seems odd that the C=64 VC games are only Europe for now). There was the giant war between the Atari 8-bit computers and Commodore 8-bit computers which was similar to the various console fanboy battles that you find today.

These were the generations of computers (along with various Apple models) that came to the forefront after the home game console market collapsed.

Maybe its some sort of pay back for the years of neglect for us in the UK by Nintendo
But scince the games cost more than they did they
