My dad still has the bbc b 32k in the attic. Think it cost him £400 in about 1983!

How could I forget Pirates! and Red Storm Rising? I´m getting so old.



carnifex -> RE: One for the Commodore64 veterans...Your Top 5 C64 Games? (3/4/2010 3:23:14 PM)

Just want to make sure everyone knows that there are free C64 emulators like http://www.ccs64.com/ available and you can find pretty much every single game on various websites and they play just like they did back in the day. Load "*",8,1 and all that crap. Your main difficulty will be archaic copy protection like "what is the third word on page 34 of the manual" :)

That and finding out just how crappy 320x200 resolution really looks like on modern monitors :)

I learned english by reading Red Storm Rising manual. There were many good rpgs and others games but they were available only on disk and there was no way I could afford that. I read pool of radiance review through like 25 times dreaming I had a disk drive. I actually played the game through 20 years later.

Som good games were released on tape too but since I got c64 in 1988 many of them were no longer sold and the computer games mags had no info about them so I didnt even know they existed. It was not until like 20 years later that I found out that there were som good rpgs available for tape too back then.

I did know about Roadwar 2000 for tape since it was avaible for C64 tape in one store but only so shortly that I didnt manage to get a copy: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/26245/Roadwar+2000.html. Most of my games were just platformers like batman the movie or som sports games like football. I also played lots of 2d shooters like "who dares wins" (I actually finished that game).

After getting pc I never played platformer/sport-games again.

Joram -> RE: One for the Commodore64 veterans...Your Top 5 C64 Games? (3/4/2010 6:32:57 PM)

Ahh, the dawn of computer games.  In some ways the golden age too

1. Crusade in Europe - logged the most hours by far
2. Pirates!
3. Gunship
4. Defenders of the Crown
5. Starship Troopers
An honorable mention. Some soccer game that worked exactly one week before crashing.  Returned it to the store and they said 90% of the copies had been returned but it was awesome and perhaps the predecessor to all the modern management games (though in this one you actually played as well).




a7v -> RE: One for the Commodore64 veterans...Your Top 5 C64 Games? (3/4/2010 7:07:53 PM)

My favourites:

1. Elite
2. Kampfgruppe
3. War in the South Pacific
4. Pirates!
5. Wizards Crown

ok, not to forget Battles of Napoleon, Summer and Winter Games, Defenders of the Crown, Seven Cities of Gold and countless more jewels of computer gaming

Btw, most of these games were finished when they were published and didn´t need patching[8|] (ok, maybe I just forgot the bugs over the years...)



Obsolete -> RE: One for the Commodore64 veterans...Your Top 5 C64 Games? (3/4/2010 7:17:44 PM)

I still have the Red Storm Rising box here, (PC Version).  Though by the time I got it as a present, I didn't have any 5.25" diskette drives anymore.  I think I may have installed a version from abandonia just to get it to play on my box, but by then E.A. had SeaWolf released. 

Maybe I should give it another chance?





Jeffrey H. -> RE: One for the Commodore64 veterans...Your Top 5 C64 Games? (3/4/2010 7:22:46 PM)

I still have a 5.25" floppy drive in my closet. I don't know how it would work with new motherboards. The discs really were floppy back then !

According to the spam I've received in the past, they can fix that for you now. *off-color-grin*

Ye Gods I forgot about Elite... [X(] took me a year to get Elite Status

I think I played Pirates on an Atari ST I have the Xbox version but it all seems too fast.

Cheers

Wodin my heart goes out to yoo, that must've been horrible. I was lucky and had a double tape deck on my stereo and backed up my saves that way.
