R-Type is a classic I remember going to a friends house to play, the only guy that had a comodore. Everyone else like me had a Spectrum zx. I do remember that at the time, possibly arround 1988 Comodore Amiga had the best graphics ever :) Good memories.

Tis' indeed.

Pretty much every port was good as well.

Used to go to a buddies house to get my C64 time in. Played a lot of California games and Skate or Die. Being a D&D kid though, my favorite game had to be Bards Tale.

I only had a handful of games on tape, And it only taught me patience in loading times. I would load it, have a shower and a coffee come back and be lucky if it was loaded.

Whoever mentioned Skate or Die and Bard's Tale is my long lost twin, those were seriously my jam back in the day.

Honorable mentions: Alice in Wonderland (very much like a Lucas Arts adventure) and Little Computer People (think Sims, 2-d style).

Sex Games.. Because we got handful of slaps from our parents when we loaded it up and played it.

But on a serious note, School Daze and International Karate was my faves.

Bubble Bobble. Played it so much with a friend that we could beat it without losing a single life.

International Karate was my second favorite.

@npiet1:

The Epyx Fast Load cartridge was the key to being able to enjoy C64 games.

I think mine crapped out once and I didn't even bother trying to play any non cartridge games until I got a new one.

Luckily, it was the only cart you had to buy as nearly all the other games were available on bulletin boards if you knew people with the phone numbers to the boards and could get to them and download (now THAT took a long time on a 2400 baud modem which was big new tech at the time).

My fave game is Gateway To Apshai. I even got it for my Colecovision, I loved it so much. Much better on the Commodore, though.

I think it was the first rogue type game ever. Idk for sure but it was great at the time. There may be a crowd funded remake being tossed around...it came up as a suggestion on Google when I looked it up, anyway.
