Java Jim in Square Shaped Trouble
Neo-Rio says: Java Jim looks like it was made by someone who did too much acid. That doesn't stop it being a weird, but fun game. You have to dig up artifcats (all of the same type) and sell them to buy ship pieces.

Arcticfox
Matt Larsen says: Electronic Arts put out some of the best titles for the C64. Is it any wonder they are still in business 20 years later? This was my favorite simulation game as a kid.

Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar
Steve says: a true classic role-playing game. The C=64 version is the best version of that game available. I still remember spending night after night on my quest through Britannia.

APB - All Points Bulletin
graveyardjohn says: Become Officer Bob for a shift on a US Police force in this vertically scrolling, "siren-em-up" , getting bonuses for picking up doughnuts, helping broken down motorists, and arresting your quota of law-breakers. Not a bad conversion!

Castle Wolfenstein
Neo-Rio says: "Achtung!" As well as being banned in Germany, this is the original inspiration for iD's "Wolfenstein 3D" and the FPS genre. This golden oldie forces you to rely on stealth more than firepower however. In game speech too.

Mercenary - Escape from Targ
Mayhem says: A game where you can go anywhere and do almost anything. Stuck on Targ with no idea how to get off, it's time to explore, sell and figure out how to leave. And a game to show that yes the C64 can do fast moving vectors!

Summer Games
Matt Larsen says: My favorite C64 sports game ever. My friends and I were so competitive, that the losers would have to go outside and run 3 laps around the house barefoot in the dead of winter (in snow)!

Galaxy
Neo-Rio says: An official version of the arcade classic "Galaga" never made it to the Commodore 64, but this knock-off is a very good one which has all the excellent features of the original.

Hook
Neo-Rio says: This is a film-license adaption, and a really spiffy one it is too. Very console-esque and playable, especially for younger players.
