@rexthedogge I quite liked Way of the Tiger on the C64.
Though I readily admit, it's not a great game. 😋
But it's certainly pretty..
Today's game comes from the Adventure list and is "Masquerade" for the C64. This text adventure with graphics sees you as a detective struggling on your latest case until you have a big break. Hopefully these new clues will break the case wide open. #retrogames
Episode 1 of the @arkanixlabs Crimson Twilight companion, 'Lost Realms of Murkasada', will be released soon on the #c64. Just some final play testing to be completed before *you* can also start action adventuring! #commodore64 #everything64 #c64retweets
@bastichb64k @EverythingC64 @EC64Forum Those Ultimate Play the Game game boxes were always top notch. 👍 I remember playing Staff of Karnath early on in my days with the C64. Had a heck of a lot of fun with it, despite old-me having many issues with the game design now. 😋
For my latest adventure in joystickery, it's Mission AD on C64. It's kind of a run-and-gun platformer, where you enter a complex and hunt down several identical-looking characters that show up on your locator/scanner. Nothing complex: run through and shoot anything that moves. 😁
So, over the x-mas/new year break was a good chance to really dig deep into an old C64 game: Ultima V. IMHO the last of the great Ultima games on the C64. Last time I played it it required disks, lots of them. Now there's an EasyFlash cart version, and it's glorious. No swapping!
@Lord_Arse Stealth Fighter! One of my most played games on the C64. Loved the huge manual. I could get past the aircraft identification 9 times out of 10 by memory. The maps and keyboard overlay were brilliant. (Must work out a real C64 keyboard on the PC so I can use the overlay again.) 😁
@rexthedogge I love Raid Over Moscow.
It has one of the best game-ending's you'll see on the C64. 👍
@C64Reloaded The C64 version of Buggy Boy is stunningly good.
It's not like any other racing game on the C64. (Well, it's more of a collecting/racing game.) But it's got immaculate presentation, all five tracks from the arcade, and oodles of playability. 👍
@CrazyCollector1 One Man and His Droid was one that I put a *lot* of time into on the C64. 🤔 The C64 version looked a whole lot like the ZX Spectrum version, but had some great SID sound-fx, combined with a foot-tappingly-good Rob Hubbard soundtrack.

@rhayadercompute @jmechner ..and the Apple II too, of course.
(It's a good reminder of how much less of an imposition multi-load stuff was on the Apple II when you see how quick levels load on it, after playing Karateka on the C64.) 😁
@SieHopkins @C64Reloaded Yeah. I had that loading-screen shock as well, the first time I loaded it on my C64. 😮 Great game. 👍
@fuzzybad @bastichb64k @EC64Forum @EverythingC64 I'm more worried about the fighter in the front, on the box-art, looking like he's constipated. 😋 ..I suppose we should be grateful that they put some decent effort into porting this one to the C64. Some of the other arcade ports we had around that time were *terrible.* 😐
#Konami #Castlevania #Fanart Grandpa Richter narrating the events of C64. (Since the OG voice actor of Richter, Scott McCulloh is the narrator in that game)
@CommodoreLad @CommodoreBlog Despite the "x is better than y" arguments, I really did enjoy the variety of machines back then. I had my Atari-console friend, my Apple II friend, and my Speccy friend (as well as a few, like me, with a C64.) Also we had Apple II's at school. ..I loved seeing the games on each.
