Super Sunday
As a massive Gridiron fan in the 80s, I played this loads. Its brilliant combination of strategy and sports action capture the essence of the game perfectly & make it one of the best American Football games on the 64.

World Games
Everything about World Games is quality. Freed from the Olympics-theme, Epyx came up with 8 wonderfully quirky events that are huge fun, peppered with comic touches & packed with super-addictive gameplay. World Games = World Class.

Inspired by the film of the same name, The Great Escape is one of the tensest and most atmospheric games on the C64. Brilliantly designed, utterly absorbing and incredibly detailed, it’s an outstanding arcade adventure.

Green Beret
WOOOH! WOOOH! Green Beret is a run and gun game with the action taking place horizontally rather than (Commando, Ikari etc) vertically. With great graphics, ace Galway tunes & exciting gameplay, it’s an excellent arcade conversion.

Rambo
As Bridgette Nielson probably once said, I’ve always had a soft spot for Rambo. The presentation is excellent, the graphics are nice, the sound is awesome, and it’s brilliant fun to play. What’s not to like?!
