Impossible Mission
Mayhem says: The best thing Epyx did, and one of the best bits of software to ever come out of America. Compulsive, challenging (though not impossible) and filled to the gills with ingenuity and attention to detail. You'll want to stay a while... and possibly stay forever.

BMX Simulator
graveyardjohn says: An early Codemasters game, complete with a completely non-prejudiced 'stunning' type quote from one of the Darling bros. Race around the seven tracks and beat the time limit, but watch out for the indestructible computer opponent!

Quinx
Neo-Rio says: They don't make games with plots like this anymore. You have to stop worms doodling over your precious piece of paper, and eating it into pieces!
|
Commando
Neo-Rio says: A classic arcade conversion to the C64. Despite missing a few levels from the arcade game, the playability is flawless. The Rob Hubbard soundtrack puts the arcade version's to shame.

Montezuma's Revenge
Neo-Rio says: Hugely playable platform game. Go crazy collecting all that gold in the huge pit at the bottom of the pyramid. This is one really, really fun game. See if you can do all 9 levels...

Great Escape, The
Neo-Rio says: Don't let the graphics put you off, this game is great. Sneak around, avoid being seen, and steal things for your escape bid. Hurry and get back in time for roll call... or you're in trouble!

Suicide Express
Neo-Rio says: Fondly remembered for it's Bladerunner-esque music and the sythesized voice which tells you your score when you die. I don't understand why the author made many clones of it, the game is a bit average.

Bobby Bearing
Neo-Rio says: A classic on the Spectrum, the C64 version is not very different. An addition of a jolly music score will inspire you to find all the bearings across a "Marble Madness" inspired world.

Pi.R Squared
Neo-Rio says: Weird action/puzzle game this one. Collect the equation by running around the cogs in the right order. Amazingly frustrating game (don't throw your joystick!), but will surprisingly hook you.
