Top 50 Commodore 64 (C64) games of 1984 - in under 10 minutes 

This is the year when games on the C64 really started to get good. So from 1984 up to around 1987-1988 were some great years.

The beauty of the C64 you could get so many games and join clubs and copy them for a fraction of buying the new ones . We had over 400 games to choose from in one year .. the first bear share ..

What a brilliant year for the C64. Absolutely wonderful video as always, can't wait for 1985 👍

No "Space Taxi" on the list - that is ridicoulous!😁

played nearly all them to death back in the day , still remember buying Booty from our local record shop bck in the day and still play quite a few games in this list today

1984 was a very good year for me for two reasons. I got to play a Commodore 64 for the first time at a friends house and later that year for Christmas, our family got one as well. At the mates house I was truly blown away by the games (aged 13) as even the crap c64 games were better than anything on the Atari VCS. But what really did my head in was the fact that you could easily copy the games from one person to another. Free games, yes please.

Raid over Moscow and Raid on Bungelin Bay, two of my favorites.

Awesome list! I hadn´t even heard of some titles (e.g. Maziacs - really looks beautiful). Some other great games of 1984: Breakdance, River Raid, Jumpman Jr, Gyruss, Dropzone, Saucer Attack, Up´n´Down and probably many, many more... Hope you´ll make 1985, 1986, etc. videos, too.

Boulder Dash of course!

So glad I found this! Thank you!

Cool. I never knew there was BC II.

Played SO many of these great games in that era, thanks for the video and reminder I need to dig out some of these games again!

1984! Grwat times with Boulder Dash, Impossible Mission, Pitstop II, Bruce Lee, Decathlon, H.E.R.O., Park Patrol, Revenge of the Mutant Camels, Montezuma's Revenge, and Elite. Was C64 Mario Bros. really released in '84?

Oh Impossible Mission I miss you so...

Spent so many hours playing Pitstop II 😃

"Kung Fu Master" and "Summer Games" are Good C64 games from 1984.

I had the speccy 128, loved it!

i played nearly half of the games but on msx at the time. nearly 80% first half of the video but the second half, most games sounds unknow to me. 1984 was a great time, i was 10yo and terminator on the big screen that i didnt saw, but i saw ghostbusters, indiana jones and the temple of doom , the karate kid and gremlins. big brother fictional date was a really cool year in reality 🙂

loved donald ducks playground and bc and agent usa!!! and Ghostbusters !! and spy va spyyyy! !

man, so many of these sounds scared the living hell out of me as a kid lol

Raid over Moscow unlocked

jet set willy reminds me of brian bloodaxe. and is that a razor blade??

most of my games were from 84 i guess. what about hotwheels??

Hmmm... Ant Attack--- i remember a different game under that name.

I LOVE C64 👍🥂🎩

Zorro was a good game also.. law of the west

Dizzy wow

👍👍

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

BC is harder than it looks.

Where is a Giana Sisters?

Loved Spy vs Spy. I have a lot of great memories on that game. All three of them... 😄

I have 12 favorites off this list. My top 5: 1. Bruce Lee (played that for hours) 2. Cliff Hanger 3. Boulder Dash 4. Pitstop 2 5. BC's Quest for Tires.

I had well over 2000 C64 games back in the 80s (went through three C64s and two 1541 drives before getting an Amiga in 1989) and I never heard of half those games. There were so many great C64 games. A few examples not shown. Law of the West was possibly the most fun game ever made. I only wish it had an expansion pack like It Came From the Desert had on the Amiga. MULE was so much fun. Asylum was crazy 3D mapped adventure game fun. Both Wolfenstein games were more fun than the first 3D one on the PC (later ones were great). Summer Games 1 & 2 plus Winter Games. Hes Games had great Springboard Diving. Forbidden Forest was great. Last V8 was ridiculously hard for such a short game, but had one of the best soundtracks ever. Silent Service was a great submarine game. Airborne Ranger was exceptional. Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken were outstanding (Amiga versions eventually came out and were slightly better). Super Pipeline was great fun as was Gumball. Really, there were so many great games (and lots of bad ones).

Some great games. Loved the Ultimate games but often frustrated by them in equal measure. Pyjamarama was the first game I ever completed, so always had a soft spot for the Wally games. Great video 👌🏻

I remember so many of these. Being born in the early 70’s has some advantages, oh the memories of decades of gaming. My stand out…. “Another visitor, Stay a while, Stay forever…..Hahaha!” (Name the game) And the music from Jet Set Willy….A true masterpiece.

O.m.g?......so many memories..the games today are stunning compared

Raid over Moscow was my favourite. Absolutely loved that game, and it looked good too.

Good games.

Best time eher... bubble bobble... gianna sisters... In 🇩🇪 mit Intro davor.... cracked by... hihi PLK ....jeden Tag zur Post und Disketten abholen... geile Zeit

Favourites: Boulderdash (played it for hours) and Spy vs Spy (best with 2 players). Raid Over Moscow control stupidly hard. 😁👍

I loved Raid over Moscow, there was a real feeling of drifting that plane

The Castles of Dr Creep was a great puzzle game. However I remember a map “Doublecross” which was just that. Sort of killed the fun.

My teenage years. Raid on bungeling bay, mario bros, zaxxon, Bruce Lee and impossible mission. Wow, memories

0:29 Impossible Mission! My all-time favorite C64 game.

Raid over Moscow, great game!

H.E.R.O. was such a nice game. Ahead of its time.

LOL Olympic skier I totally forgot about that game

I forgot about FRED thankyou.😊

No Mutant Monty?

Absolutely love the fact you couldn't get the hangar open in Raid over Moscow. Welcome to the club :)

I wonder if we will ever get times like this again, where gaming was exciting, exotic and really fun. Don't get me wrong. There are some excellent games today, but it's not the same as back then. Was it part of being a teenager, or perhaps that consumer electronics were new? Whatever it is, the mid 80s were a fantastic time to be alive for gamers and computer nerds.

Have to view these games in the context of what had been released previously for other machines. Impossible mission (still brilliant today - amazing how each game is different) - was that eras GTA5!

excellent list, many memories.

bcs quest in chuckie egg legendarne igre,oljmpic skier sem po nesrec hacka,da sem skakal na dno in bruce lee ,automania ,fred,spy vs spy,clifhangertud

Bruce Lee and Raid Over Moscow definitely the best games that year

booty was so bad on he c64

Underwurlde 😊

Anybody knows name of game similar to Bagitman? Almost identical concept, slightly different graphics and different music.

Some of these were incredible feats of programming for '84, e.g. Impossible Mission. I mean, compare to stuff on the 2600 at the time, or even something like BC Bill here.

I grew up on Atari and C64....my dad still has both, they both still work, and me and my brother still play them.
