I really like this series! And also, the way you "narrate" it... to think you started off without the voice over; I think you got the hang of it just fine now and it makes the videos more entertaining!

Man... so many hidden gems on the C64. So many awesome new games. Truly the system that keeps on giving.

So far my favorite episode in this great serie. There are really interesting games I never acknowledged their existence.

Funny how I barely knew any of your "C" picks, but I know almost all of them from "D"! I agree with putting DK Jr. at the top of this list; lots of people don't know about the fantastic games that have been released in the last 20-30 years after they left the C64.

A little disappointed that Oxyron’s 2015 port of Donkey Kong didn’t make the list as it is arcade-perfect in terms of gameplay

Demon Stalkers is a great Gauntlet clone! Had it as a kid and lost the code wheel so I got stuck at one point unable to progress.

Edit: You also had the ability to create your own levels as well and play them.

Another great video, OSG. Really enjoying this series. I've never heard of any of these. The music to Demon's Kiss and Dracula sound brilliant through the SID.

[metalcoola]

Demons Kiss music scared me so much as a kid i was afraid to play it.

[steelpatriot]

Dynamoid looks great. I can see that being grabbed for RetroPie before the week is out.... Quite a few on this list I don't recognize (which is what is making these overlooked gem lists so much fun to watch.) Great work as ever 👍

[fulgenzio]

Great list, i was a great fan of Freescape Games (Castle Master, Driller, Space Station Oblivion, Total Eclipse, Total Eclipse II: The Sphinx Jinx). I would add Diplomacy (1990, Virgin Mastertronic) and Dallas Quest (1984, Datasoft), even if maybe it is not really a hidden gem, since the TV series was very popular at the time.

Another 10 I've never played although most of em was released post C64 for me. Stand outs for me are Demon Stalkers & Demon's Kiss, plus that DKJ port looks awesome! Driller I've played on Amiga, didn't think a C64 port was possible, looks ok though. There's so many C64 games! I've just had at look at D, so kudos for going through em all and picking 10 m8! :)

I'm loving this series!! Discovering some great games that I never knew existed.. By far my favourite C64 retro channel

[andyhodgson]

2:15 Lol March of the Toreadors with Doctor Who?. Strange combination. Another very good video though :).

[npc]

Demons Kiss looks awesome. Dont remember it from back in the day, must try and find it..

[mortenohlsen]

Seeing the bit about Dark Side made me remember the hours I spent fiddling around with 3D Construction Kit on the C64, kinda sad that the VHS introduction that came with it showed a lot smoother and more colourful experience (being the Amiga or ST version)

Not sure if it is hidden, or even a gem or just my nostalgia speaking, but I really loved Dare Devil Denis as an example of a simple but tricky single-screen arcade game. Though the random nature of the levels could easily leave you with unbeatable levels.

[BigJuffer]

PC Kid / Bonk looks interesting. And Donkey Kong Jr looks amazing - nice one :)

[sporthaas]

So cool there are still people making c64 videos. Love it. Amazed to see so many great games I don't know.

Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror - The very first game I ever downloaded. I bought a 300 baud modem, called a BBS, saw the name and thought that would be good to download. The whole process took WAY longer than I imagined it would and in the end, I had no idea what to do in the game.

Demonstalkers - I have an original of this. At one point, I was trying to play through it, but then I reached a level where you not only had to go up and down multiple times across three levels, they all wrapped around, making trying to figure out where to go twice as hard. I finally gave up.

Darkside - Unfortunately, I find the Freescape games painful to play on the C64. Plus, like with Driller, I could never figure out half the stuff in each sector. I knew what the over-all goal of each game was, but then I'd wander through the sectors not knowing what the various puzzle do. I liked the Castle Master games and Total Eclipse on the Amiga though.

Demon's Kiss looks awesome! Need to try it!

[glennmk]

Have to agree with Donkey Kong Jr, to me instant classic👍

[eskey]

Dracula was class use to play this in my bedroom in the dark as a kid haha loved every min of that game. Donkey kong Jnr looks loads of fun as well, great video as always buddy and thanks i now have the Neverending story music stuck in my head haha. Keep up the great work and roll on the next one :-)
