Commodore 64 had the best computer games ever. Any old schoolers out there agree with me?

Mail Order Monsters was da' bomb.

So was the Ghostbusters game.

Maniac Mansion was the funk.
4th & Inches as well.

Pirates and bard's tale cost me MANY a wink.

Glad to see that the Ghostbusters game gets the proper respect. I also remember a boxing game that was a very poor man's Punch Out. Loved it.

ghosbusters was good
i played a lot of beach head, at least im pretty sure that was the name of the game

I preferred my spectrum but guess that didnt make it to the US.

Beach head was the name of the game and has been reincarnated in a arcade game just last year, again not sure if this had made the US, but iuts just the shooting bit, no moving the boats through the minefield or the tank on the beach for that matter.

We used to download games over the internet on our Commodore 64. No joke. We had like a 1200 bps modem, and used it to collect about 300 games on floppy disk.

My favorites: Summer/Winter Games, Dr. J and Larry Bird Go 1 on 1, and Racing Destruction Set.

Least favorite: Zork.

I PWNED with the screen pass. I think I invented the West Coast offense playing 4th & Inches.

There was some baseball game that was pretty good too. I remember getting in rundowns against my dad all the time until he inevitably threw to the wrong base.
