piper Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I saved a lot of money on my paper route for my New to me C64 with disk drive. I’m pretty sure that the majority of the games and applications I used were all bootlegged from other kids. I didn’t use a PC until first year of my EE program. Favourite game for the C64? It was a long time ago but likely Pirates, Karate Champ, or California Games. F For Fake and DavidTheDavid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zork, Ultima 4, Hardball!, Mail Order Monsters, Skate or Die!, Test Drive, Castle Wolfenstein, Bard’s Tale, The Hobbit, Hitchhiker’s Guide… I didn’t have Karate Champ on C64 but I did play it at the coin-op arcade a lot. Along with other favorites like Paperboy, Sinistar, Dragons Lair, Galaga, Tron… piper, devilsrain and F For Fake 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a blast pushing the high score each day, and saving bundles of quarters. As far as my old C24 goes, one of my favourite games was Lode Runner.

AbsoluteCarnage Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Space Taxi was pretty fun also. Raid on Bungeling Bay and Mission Impossible were also good times. I remember that mechanical pc voice saying "Stay awhile..................... Stay forever!!!" at the start of mission impossible lol. jeffreyk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
