The #C64 A-Z My Fave 'B' Games - No.45 Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom One of the C64’s earliest arcade conversions (1983), BRPOZ is a bog-standard version of the Sega original. The 3D effect is pretty good for ’83, but the graphics are blocky, the sound is weak and the gameplay is very repetitive.

The #C64 A to Z continues... 45 of the finest games to grace the #C64 beginning with the letter 'B'. (TBF the bottom 10 are a bit crap but I played them quite a bit, so they're worth mentioning) SYS64738!

Just a heads up that I only have 7 Amstrad 2026 calendars (signed by Roland Perry) left. If you'd like one, don't hang about!

Welcome to November...1986 and the worldy that is World Games. #C64 #retrogaming

More calendars dropping. Half have gone already, so if you fancy one, don't hang about too long!

These are 2 games I’m not familiar with as they both came out before I was born but they look pretty cool! This calendar is made by my friend @c64reloaded.bsky.social!

Cauldron or Cauldron 2? #C64 #Halloween

I'm saying, 'yes'.

Fact.

#C64 A to Z My Fave A Games No .1 Alter Ego Years ahead of its time, Alter Ego isn’t just a game—it’s a life simulator. You make choices from birth to death, shaping personality, relationships & fate through hundreds of scenarios. Thoughtful, funny, unique & uttery engrossing, it’s magnificent.

The #C64 A-Z My Fave A Games No.2 Armalyte A blistering shoot-em-up that pushed the C64 to its limits, Armalyte's stunning backgrounds, detailed sprites, cool co-op gameplay & relentless alien waves make it feel like an arcade game on a humble C64. Tough, technical & gorgeous, it's a masterpiece.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.3 Arkanoid Arkanoid reinvented Breakout for a new generation — slick controls, smooth graphics and addictive power-ups turned simple block-busting into gaming perfection. The C64 version is fast, polished and endlessly replayable. Simple idea, timeless fun.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.4 Alien Syndrome Race through maze-like ships rescuing hostages, blasting grotesque aliens and battling monstrous bosses, Alien Syndrome's fast, atmospheric co-op gameplay - packed with tension - is fantastic. An excellent conversion of Sega's superb original.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave A Games No.5 Archon/Archon 2 Part chess, part arcade combat - 100% genius. In Archon, Light battles Dark across a shifting board where strategy meets real-time duels, while Adept expands the idea with elemental magic and smarter AI. Innovative and utterly brilliant titles.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.6 A.P.B. A.P.B. puts you in the driving seat of rookie cop Officer Bob, racing through a chaotic city to ticket speeders and bust bad guys. This excellent conversion has neat graphics, good tunes and plenty of tongue-in-cheek action that keeps you playing.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.7 Avenger A superb Gauntlet-style adventure with a neat ninja twist, Avenger has you exploring maze-like fortresses, collecting keys and bumping off baddies on a quest for vengeance. Atmospheric, stylish and addictive, it’s one of Gremlin’s best C64 releases.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.8 Arkanoid 2 This superb sequel takes the brilliance of Arkanoid and dials everything up — faster action, smarter enemies, extra weapons and dozens of cool new levels. With slick graphics and loads of addictive arcade action, it’s an excellent conversion.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.9 Aztec Challenge Paul Norman’s Aztec Challenge is pure tension — sprinting through spear gauntlets, dodging traps, and surviving by split-second timing, all set to an atmospheric soundtrack. Intense and unforgettable, it's an early C64 classic.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.10 Arc of Yesod Arc has you exploring the planet Ariat in search of the strange crystal that powers the mysterious Black Monolith. With fab graphics, great music and a huge map to explore, it's an excellent game, it's just a shame it's so like its big brother.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.11 Arnie Chris Butler’s Arnold Schwarzenegger-inspired shooter puts a clever isometric spin on the classic run-and-gun formula. Nice graphics and addictive, action-packed gameplay make this a cracking little Commando clone.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.12 Alleykat, Alleykat, What are they feeding you? Alleykat, Alleykat, It’s not your fault! You’re a racer, a blaster, a flying machine, Graphics are cool and the sound is a dream. Ducking and diving with skill and with pace, It's clear to see, Alleykat is ace!

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.13 Aliens Aliens is an atmospheric title that effectively captures the film’s vibe with dark visuals and bursts of panic-filled sound. Managing multiple marines is challenging, but its tension & cinematic feel made it one of the best film tie-ins at the time.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.14 Action Biker Action Biker puts you in control of Skips-scoffing motorcyclist Clumsy Colin biking around an isometric town collecting items & upgrading your machine. An early Hubbard soundtrack & addictive, open-world gameplay provided plenty of £1.99 fun.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.15 Ace of Aces Ace of Aces puts you in the cockpit of a WWII RAF Mosquito, juggling dogfights, bombing runs and train attacks. With cool graphics & sound, neat presentation & a clever mix of flight simulator and combat-action gameplay, it's a cracking title.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.16 Airwolf The game of the 80s TV show Airwolf is a multi-directional scrolling rescue mission packed with narrow tunnels, gun turrets and deadly hazards. Controls can be tricky but the graphics are decent and the gameplay, although tough, is highly addictive.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.17 Ancipital Jeff Minter’s Ancipital is a surreal blaster across 100 screens. You fire only while moving, battling bizarre baddies as you progress. Punishingly tough yet hypnotic, it’s classic Llamasoft: colourful, original, eccentric & utterly compelling.

Welcome to October ... 1983 and the simple but brilliant BC's Quest for Tires. JUMP! SUCKER

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.18 ACE / ACE 2 ACE & ACE 2 put you in the cockpit for frantic jet combat — the first offering 3D battles by land, sea & air, the sequel simplifying it into Top Gun-inspired one-on-one dogfights. Nice graphics, decent sound, great gameplay - pretty ACE really!

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games - No.19 Auf Wiedersen Monty The sequel to Monty on the Run is very similar to its predecessor. Graphics are decent & the music is fantastic (but not as awesome as the original), and while the gameplay is fun at first, there’s a sense you’ve seen it all before.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.20 Ark Pandora Ark Pandora brings welcome variety to the arcade adventure genre with its innovative icon-based controls. Colourful graphics, catchy music, challenging puzzles and quirky enemies combine to make a strange but thoroughly engrossing game.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.21 Arcade Classics Four classic arcade games for less than £2? Yes please. Solid versions of Asteroids, Snake, Space Wars and Space Invaders made this C64 title a bargain must-buy. Worth it for the outstanding Rob Hubbard theme tune alone.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No 22 Automania The first of 5 Wally Week games, Automania introduced players to Mikro-Gen’s hapless everyman & launched one of the 80s’ most beloved series. Graphics & sound are basic, and it's rock hard, but it offers a good burst of quirky, platforming fun.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave A Games No.23 Attack of the Mutant Camels Jeff Minter’s mutant shoot-’em-up was clearly inspired by the Atari VCS game Empire Strikes Back. Packed with addictive arcade action, its trippy sound & psychedelic visuals turned blasting giant camels into a surreal C64 classic.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.24 Avenger One of the C64’s earliest titles, Avenger is a Space Invaders clone so close you half expected Taito’s lawyers to invade. Basic sights and sounds, but the arcade tension is bang on.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.25 Army Moves With nice graphics and music, this Moon Patrol, Blue Thunder & Green Beret mash-up has lots going for it. Unfortunately, the stupidly hard gameplay spoils things. A shame. It could’ve been a top title if they’d dialled down the difficulty.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games No.26 Astro Chase Very well presented with a cool intro/outro, nice graphics, decent music, and fast multidirectional scrolling, Astro Chase was pretty darn impressive in 1984. Under the gloss, it’s a simple space shooter, but it’s still good fun for a while.

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.27 Amazon Warrior/Arcana Geoff Sumner only made two C64 games—and both were shameless rip-offs. Amazon Warrior stole from Forbidden Forest, while Arcana copied Entombed & Staff of Karnath. How New Generation ever got away with publishing them is beyond me!

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No.28 (The) Adventures of Basildon Bond One of many terrible 80s TV tie-ins (who thought a Russ Abbott game was a good idea?!) TAOBB is a poor Impossible Mission clone with crap graphics and dull gameplay. It is to computer games what ‘Atmosphere’ is to music.

Welcome to September ... 1987 and Software Creation's awesome #C64 conversion of Bubble Bobble.

My Fave ‘A’ Games – No. 29 Arcadia 64 Imagine’s early zapper is initially intriguing as it's fast and frantic, but enjoyment quickly evaporates as the gameplay is super repetitive and ridiculously hard. It's also glitchy and flickery, and the controls are very poor. Nice artwork, though!

The #C64 A to Z My Fave ‘A’ Games – No. 30 Automan Bug Byte’s game of the 80s TV show was a big disappointment. Part second-rate Manic Miner clone, part painfully slow 3D racer, it has poor graphics, dire sound and abysmal gameplay. Less Automan, more Auto-meh.

🗺️ New list incoming! The A to Z of the C64 is your retro street map through the machine’s greatest games – navigating from Ace of Aces and Action Biker all the way to Zybex and Zynaps. Buckle up for a nostalgic tour down memory lane, one letter at a time. #C64 #RetroGaming #Commodore64
