So many games on this list I had completely forgot about over the years. Thanks for bringing back a lot of good memories!

[bbbcid]

I was 10 in 1981. The creativity on even figuring out what a videogame _could be_ still fascinates me

[bigstackD]

Great upload buddy much appreciated 👊🏻😁

[bbenjoe]

You know... Last Ninja 1-2 eats 90% of the rest for breakfast.

[aivokallo]

Great list of classics, man!
The only one missing in my papers, was Laser Squad 'sequel', Lords of Chaos. It is one of the best games ever created for 8-bit device.

[KellyFletcher-mm]

Best part about C64 games was how they easy were to copy from your friends. I had a shoebox full of floppy disc bootleg games. But oh Lord, the worst was the cassette tape drive. It took like 9 hours to load Beach Head.

[colinthomson]

Brilliant Video. Enjoying those Sid Tunes as well.

[milthyswinbuckle]

Great vid. Always love to see what somebody else's faves are on the old majestic breadbox... As a follow up, you could do one of these featuring modern C64 games (say, post Mayhem in Monster Land... or a little later).

[sander_bouwhuis]

HUGE thanks for this awesome video!!!
I used to play the C64 in my youth. What a machine, what a time!
It has been a long time since I played a C64 game (I think Impossible Mission about 10 years ago), but I will see whether I can interest my kids to play some of these gems.

Racing destruction set music rocked.. also setting gravity off... haha

[mattcole]

Awesome video as ever! Agree with others, a best of new/modern games including any that have been reworked (like ghost and goblins) would be good to watch.

[BlightyUK]

i still have my C64 and all my games ... im 50 years old i will never sell it

[diamat]

Good list. What about Superstar Ice Hockey / Trashman / Paperboy / Pinball / Cobra /Thundercats / Vermeer / Kaiser / Ace of Aces / Pitfall

[twankistevenson]

Excellent vid. Thanks for the effort. Gotta say in agreement with most of the list too

[rateit]

I seen several top 100 game list from the C64. This is the best one.
Many of my fav games were listed. I may not agree with the place on all, but still a good top 100.

[MrSketchydave]

Great list! Thanks for your efforts! Takes me back to being a 13 year old again, when I got my 64 in 1982.. Some of my faves were Shadowfire (great music), Skyfox, Mercenary, Attack Of The Mutant Cames & Revenge, The 4th Protocol, Hovver Bovver and System 15000 by Ferranti software, a hacking simulator with BBS's dialup modems and telephone number incorporated into the gameplay.

[iamsancho]

Hope someone can help me out. Been looking for 2 C64 games since forever.
1:Youre a triangle airplane that doesnt really fly but parkours the levels (and if i remember correctly, can morph into other vehicles)
2: Side scroller shooter. Guy in grey trenchcoat with a hat. first levels had a lot of crates you could jump on to.
Thanks in advance

[Chris_Longstreet]

Great list, I need to make a top 100!. You reminded me about a lot of games. I can say for sure that Ultima IV is my number 1 and Pirates is number 2.

[jurispurins]

Really Great Format
Excellent Sid Tunes
Gameplay and a bit of publisher info

How does this not have a million views?

[georgebachaelor]

cool vid bro 😍Katakis at #34 looks like a corker! That's some kind of list from the Lemon'ers very interesting results. Surprised that Speedball 1 or 2, Super Cars, Slicks, Lotus, Green Beret, I.O. and a few others didn't make the list, but it is based on 100 votes and those games I see on Lemon 64 didn't reach that mark. I would have thought this would have been the top 10 not in any order just as the top 10 games -

4. IK+
6. Turrican II: The Final Fight
7. Last Ninja 2
11. Elite
16. Impossible Mission
18. Bruce Lee
