:D  I completely loved those games. Great post :D
Hey, I've heard there's a commodore 64 imitator program that you can install, which includes many of those games. Was thinking of getting it.   :) Impossible mission: my fav. :lol  

*edit* LOL ~ that evil laugh on impossible mission when you died would be an awesome addition to an AH soundpack. :D

The vice emulator is probably the best though...

Ditto. My favorites were The Last Ninja and Project Firestart. Forbidden Forest was a bit creepy.

Oh I loved the Epyx Summer & Winter games!  Ghosbusters was a great deal of fun too.  (What's the chopper game around 7-8 minutes in?)

Sigh, no Super Huey  I loved that game

The C64 was quite the diverse little system  Some of those guys look cheesy while some really pushed that graphic system to its limits.

One of the greatest game platforms ever.  I still play a lot of those.

That's cool.  I remember Kung Foo, Spy Hunter, Bubble Boble, California Games, Winter/Summer Games and about 10 others I can't put a name to anymore.

i liked the C64, it had a built in compiler, you could type in a short program (basic) right on the screen and then run it.

I still have 2 C64s with floppy drives and 2 Amiga 500s. They Rock!

Retro gaming is kind of on-off-on thing, I get the urge maybe 1-2 times a month and spend an evening with all the favourites, and then I can go on with the modern stuff for a couple of weeks :)

Without the C64 (and it's BASIC interpreter), I probably wouldn't be in my current job as it started me on my programming career :) Although, now I'm a software architect, no more coding for me, just drawing some boxes and writing boring documents.

I wonder whether the kids of today get any programming experience when they are young? I started with BASIC when I was 8 or 9 years old, went on to Assembly (68k on Amiga) when I was 15.

[EDIT] Darn, I need to get my hands on Spy vs Spy.. That was fun! And Paradroid, and Boulder Dash, and... Is there a way to transfer those emulator files back to real C64 floppies somehow??? [/EDIT]

A bunch of ways. I think I did this several years ago.

“Raid on Bungeling Bay “ published by Broderbund Software.  Brought to us by Will Wright, the Sim City guy.  Great game.

Law Of The West(I think that was the name) was so frikkin fun. You could hit on the girls and be a drunkin gun toting lawman....I loved it. I liked calling girls painted jezebels and sometimes they would pull a gun on ya. I had so many of those games. The one where you could build your own race track with moon gravity was fun too (Racing Construction?).
