Status: offline 		What were your 5 favorite C64 games? It can be any C64 game, not just war games. If you can't keep it to 5 list as many as you want and maybe a brief description of what you liked about the game. Take as much time as you want to think about it because I know I'm going to need some more time.

Will be great to see what everybody lists.

I could only afford a green screen for my first Apple. It was fine for awhile. But SSI's "Operation Market Garden" forced me to do something about that, a year later. I still couldn't afford an Apple composite monitor, so I bought a small/almost-portable color TV on sale and a splitter. I then built a custom computer desk to handle both the green screen and the TV. So I'd look at the green screen to read the text, and look at the TV to see the terrain colors! LOL!

Based on an excellent boardgame, Borderlands:



We were lucky to have a Strategy Club back in high school, and Borderlands was a staple.

1. F19 Stealth Fighter -- enjoyed planning missions
2. Raid on Bungeling Bay -- loved how the world seemed alive.
3. Ed Ringler's SportsTime Hockey -- his basketball game would probably make it, but my 1541 drive died within a couple months of getting the game and I upgraded to an 386 system that summer. A nifty game with a career mode involving drafting and trading of players.
4. Seven Cities of Gold -- what's not to like? Bunten's Modem Wars would be a good candidate as well.
5. Omega -- program the ai for your tank and then set it loose on other tanks.

Imperuim Galactum (there was a nice cheat/bug when you was player 4 you can built large ships for the price of small ships)
Colonial Conquest
Ultima 2,4,5,6 (I loved these games) I play Ultima Online today because of these games
Elite (I broke several joysticks on this game)
Pool of Radiance (Back when you had to draw your maps on paper
Bards Tale 1,2
Wargame Construction Set
Empire
Might and Magic 2 (this game killed my disk drive, had to buy another one, luckily I had a job at the time )
Mule
Seven Cities of Gold
Hillsfar (you can build a character and used it in Pool of Radiance)
Wizards Crown (great tactical combat)
Enchanter (geez this game was hard)
A text based Civil War game (I have no clue what the name was, think it came with the C64 bonus disk)

I had many more, but these are the ones I can remember.

Status: offline 		Here are five that come to mind. I no longer have the C64, but I think I actually do still have some of the games

1. Battles of Napolean ( I thought Matrix might be making a remake of this a while back, but that project faded)

2. Battlefront (yes, Battle Front from SSG)

3. Kampfgruppe

4. Knights in the Desert

5. War In Russia

There were numerous others, including A set of Civil War games also from SSG.

Thanks
Rick
