Earlier tonight my dad (49) and I (13) watched a bunch of c64 gameplay videos together. He used to play those games when he was little and seeing him talk about something from his childhood so passionately made me so happy :D Occasionally he'd see one that was really nostalgic and go "YOO that game was LEGENDARY." Apparently there is some type of nostalgia c64 pack and my dad is thinking of buying that for me as a christmas gift so we can play all the games together :D The music from these games has such a unique style, same with the visuals. There's something about it that is just fascinating to me. Most of these games are so simple yet my dad and his friends would play them for hours. I wonder if the games I play nowdays will be as nostalgic to me as these games are to him...
I'm 49 too and can relate. It was very different back then, unlike today where there are gaming consoles everywhere. The Commodore 64 was amazing! Tell your dad I said HI! from Sydney Australia!
Exactly. Got my C64 with a 1541 in August 1988 for my 12th birthday. Will NEVER forget the AMAZING feeling I had the very first day. Especially when living in communist Czechoslovakia...
A.Z. I agree with you 100%! I can remember sitting at my desk, my keyboard in hand, my first color monitor, the 1541 disk drive, and the dot matrix printer. Playing game after game after game. So many memories, so much fun! It really was a amazing time!
Yeah I let this run and occasionally checked out where it was going and first I noticed that was missing was Dig Dug and Frogger. Couple of the most common games in history,not to mention that their c64 ports were great. I also didn't see Barbarian which pretty much all c64 owners knew.
Nice video, but tons of original games (some of the best on C64) missing, like Hostages, IK+, Speedball 1 & 2, Nebulous, Trailblazer, Exploding Fist, Football Director, Football Manager, Footballer of the Year 1 & 2, Gazza, Gary Lineker Superstar Soccer, Emilio Butrageno Futbol, Kick Off, Metrocross, Red Heat, Running Man, School Daze, Street Fighter, Cosmic Causeway, and many many more...
Nice showcase. Some brilliant games here. Well put together in this video A bit misleading click bait sort of title though I have maybe 3,000 C64 Roms that aren't in this video. (My C64 Rom folder says it has 5,132 Roms in it) In all I'm guessing you've missed at least a few thousand games here
Totally agree before computing was complicated by the internet you just had your disk box and your biggest problem was working out how to get more games and who from !
Even being 11 years old in '88 you somehow knew, ok the graphics wasn't stunning, but hey then your fantasy made up for the rest of it. That Commodore 64C will always hold a special place in my hearth ♥ C=
Awesome list. Deffinately a few there I had forgotten. But also alot missing. Especially of the types of games I used to play alot. Like Ace of Aces, PHM Pegasus, Strike Fleet, Project Stealth Fighter, Red Storm Rising. Those were big games. Deffinately not PAL only. Basicly many of the simulators i loved, the strategy games and alot of the adventure games as well. Still a cool list, though. Make more :)
I miss a game and for the love of god can't seem to find it anymore... I forgot the title. I remember being it with robots or droids inside a cavern with laser grids and you had your make your way to do god know what...
What a great computer, I remember my cousins had it but they didn't enjoy it at the same level as I did, I spent lot of years of savings in order to buy one. Then my second big love was the Amiga.
I had my C64 when I was a kid. I learned BASIC writing the programs that came in the User Manual, and I started learning english at that time too trying to figure out what was explained. When I started having english in school I already knew what most words meant. And later on I realized that I already had a sense of how computers work and how a programing language handles instructions. I'm a nerd!
OMG.. I'm only a couple of minutes in and found 3 of my all time favorite more obscure games... Action Biker , 221B Baker Street, and Agent USA. Wow! I loved those games and haven't thought about them in decades!
This is more of a list of games that were available in BOTH Pal and NTSC format...not EVERY game. I don't expect you to include type-ins and whatnot, but there are several commercial games you missed
Let's see.. 15 seconds for each game, 2h50m total.. so there are 680 games in this video. Too bad C64 library is made of over 16.000 games and still growing.. !!!!!!
Zombie Gamer 80 is that so? 16,000+ games huh? well the closest list of official games is 2000+ games long, so if there's 16k+ it must be loaded with homebrew games.
Great video, but I noticed a few missing, such as Midnight Resistance, Sly Spy, Secret Agent, Trivial Pursuit. Obviously, there are going to be missing games on a platform with so many.
The C-64 has so many games in their library. Finding them all, and getting clips of EVERY ONE? Thats a task in itself. I'm happy with what they showed.
OH MAN THE Original Blue Max....what a blast from the past. lived that game! Gauntlet, Ghostbusters, LOVED MISSION IMPOSSIBLE...played hours and hours of Paperboy, Spy Hunter, Spy Vs. Spy was awesome! RAMPAGE! was the best!!! Every Ultima just got better...last but not least...my all-time fave C64 game is ZAXXON! so u r still missing some games, but great work here. thanks!!
Ultima IV probably influenced my life more than any other video game I have ever played. That game just made a lasting impression on me until the day I die.
I tried to play with emulators but I just could not find the same enjoyment again that i once had back in the days. What is really great about them is that I can connect real time memories to specific games giving them a sort of sentimental value
@@a.z.b.1916 Yeah playing on mine always makes me remember how good my parents were to me. My dad bought me a c64 and 1541 drive for graduating from grade school. I played the shit out of it and dabbled with basic and sprite creations. They have both passed, but will always be in my heart and mind when I fire my 64 up to retro game. Glad mine still works.
@@jeeperscreepers8902 First off, my sincere condolences. Second off, From the time I was a little kid I dunno but Ive always been crazy about computers. I wanted my mom to buy me either a commodore computer, an Atari computer or Coleco Adam. $200-$300 was a lot of money in 1982 so it never happened. I still would like one of these computers now and finally learn BASIC
40 years wow I suppose it is nearly 40 years 1984! Seems like yesterday sometimes Being 13 going around my mates house playing Winter games Emlyn Hughes ,Barbarian,Knightgames etc.In another 40 years probably going to be dead😬
Amazing collection! A few I notice missing: Activision's Aliens, Legacy of the Ancients, Legend of Blacksilver, Passport to London, Predator, Wizard's Crown.
I see some complaints about missing games. Trying to find EVERY SINGLE GAME, along with clips of the game play for each one? Come on, that is a damn near impossible task. I'm happy with what we got.
Lots of great memories in here. I watched the video in hope to find a game I have been wondering the name of for so many years. It is not here. Neither is a lot of other games I have fond memories of that I do remember the name of. The game i am trying to find is one where you have a side view, starting on the top like the surface. The unique thing is that you would fall like in pitfall, but you could also grab the wall and climb up and down along the wall. On the bottom i remember some kind of way going to the left and right. I also remember a pit with some critter in or something.
I already watched some videos from you. Thanks for uploading. But they are not complete. The newer Dreamcast Video lacks of some games and the C64 has over 75000 titles.
@@lordevyl8317 Not to mention that some of those titles are actually just foreign language versions of other games, or NTSC games with the names changed from the PAL original
I haven't yet seen the whole video, but I have afew favourites. Ghostbusters, Ballblazer, Give My Regards To Broad Street, Paradroid, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Commando, Suicide Express, Loco. The most under-rated and addictive game for me is Rocketball. I adored that game!
I loved: Archon Archon II (Adept) Beachhead Beachhead 2 Champions of Krynn Curse of the Azure Bonds Defender of The Crown Hillsfar Jumpman Jumpman Jr Pool of Radiance Raid on Bungling Bay Secret of the Silver Blades SpyHunter
how come the sequels always come second? anyway thanks for vid! im gradually making my way through the whole thing. i already found one game i thought i would never find.. aegeon voyage game! ive been wanting to find that title for about 25 years and i finally know the title now!
Some great memories in here. One of my all time favourites Scarabaeus missing from here is a game based in Egypt, way before Lara Croft was raiding tombs had nice graphics, some impossibly on a C64 in 3D! Great presentation, clever mechanics and puzzle solving with atmospheric sounds and music. Needs a modern remake, I feel.
Lots of games I had are missing. So I guess this computer had thousands of Games. Many were very good... Rtype, California games, ghostngoblins, rune forte gold, 3 stooges, rocker ranger, silkworm, maniac mansion, yie ar king fu and many others.
2:01 (1942) oof that pain when the player neglects to collect the weapon upgrade when playing 1942. 1:07:48 (Forbidden Forest) only the obnoxious bee level from Forbidden Forest? That game had decent music on nearly every other level, if I remember right. 1:21:03 (Hacker) It's comforting to know everyone else was as confused by this game as kid-me was, haha. 1:32:34 (Into the Eagle's Nest) Nice, I'd forgotten about this one. Sort of a more enjoyable Castle Wolfenstein. 1:41:10 (Koronis Rift) don't remember the game much, but I loved that robot as a kid haha. 1:45:21 (Little Computer People) precursor to The Sims 1:59:37 (Paradroid) sneaky underrated C64 game where you moved around an entire spaceship as a droid that could hack your way into controlling other droids 2:16:51 (Seven Cities of Gold) another tragically underrated game that has you exploring/colonizing the New World. 2:32:06 (Toy Bizarre) I remember putting time into this one but I could _not_ tell you what's happening in this video haha. Was surprised by just how many Commando and Moon Patrol clones there ended up being.
Nice video to make a person nostalgic. But like others have said. Some games are missing. Coming to my mind are. Project Stealth Fighter, Star Trek, f15 Strike Eagle series (1 2 and 3), Ace of Aces, etc. So to say in tge title every c64 game is not true. I have listed just a few i could think of off hand but great to see some i have not even heard of. I miss my c64 and c64c
Missing: 007 live and let die Antiriad/Rad Warrior Autotest Simulator Bird Mother Clik Clak Cohan's Tower Duck Tales: The Quest for Gold Galivan Garfield Highway Encounter Hostages Mad Nurse Mini Golf (there are a lot of them, at least 2) Munsters, The Navy Seals Nightmare on Elm Street On The Tiles Phoenix Real Stunt Experts Slimey's Mine Spooky Castle Stop the Express Supremacy Time Machine Western I and II Yogi Bear (yes, there's a 3rd game, starts with the ranger taking away Boo Boo and has some sad music in it)
How the hell did we use to play some of those games... I've always been fascinated by the sophisticated design some of them had. Take ZOIDS for instance... I used to play the hell out of that game, but it was so damn difficult... furthermore we grew with the "pixel-exact collision" precision!!! so frustrating... though I have great sweet memories of that era.
Thank you for video. C64 has such an intriguing gaming library, but the emulators are still too complicated to use for casual retro gamers. It's a shame really... C64 along with ZX were very strong in some genre of games that NES and SMS were weak at, such as strategy, simulation, western RPG, text adventure, and just zany weird experimental games. These games are pretty much inaccessible for modern gamers, because they are hard to set up for Retroarch and isn't supported by Openemu.
the emulator probably runs the same way the original Computer ran, requiring certain commands that are found inside the manual, now i cant speak from experience, but i'm sure that you can find copies of said manuals on the net, or maybe an FAQ at Gamefaqs. either way, i have only heard good things about the C64, so i am willing to learn how to use it.
Hard to see the mental image of dev presenting the Arctic Shipwreck to the Board of Executives. Even harder to see the board to show green light for the project. Yet, it happened.
Any Idea what game this is. Game Intro Starts off like an Arcade - you see a blue knight running around fighting creature stabbing them with a sword. Whenever a Creature is on screen music plays. You get health by picking up gold and each screen has different encounters. Think Like Resident Evil so the playing field always changes. At one point you come across a Castle with Teeth. Any Idea what C64 game this was? I can't seem to find it!
