Okay, depending on if this is 'popular' or not I might continue through to Z! Feel free to add comments or mention anthing I missed - obviously this is a list of games I play(ed).
If I know 100% it works on GP32 I've mentioned that too
Games can be found here: http://web.externet.hu/sk/c64/ (feel free to delete if it's naugty to list this addy)
Ratings:
- Might be worth a look
- Should give it a go
- Def worth a pop
- You HAVE to try it...NOW!
Aliens (works on GP32)
Probably one of the first 'FPS' type games - You take control of six charaters from the film, independantly control each one as you try to find your way out of the 'building'. lot's of atmosphere esp with the sensor 'beeping' when an Alien is in the same room, and if you die the screen turns to 'snow' just like in the film!
I def. recomend this game - playable with the GP32 - altho a little bit of a pain to switch who you're controlling as you need to use the keyboard (which can be fiddly)...but still worth a play.
Alter ego
More of a role-play adventure, where you go through life (from birth - yes - inside the womb even!) to death making descisions along the way that affect your persona. This is all displayed in a sort of 'family tree' text style.
Certainly an original title if a little tedious after a while - one I think all should check out if they get the chance.
Attack of the mutant camels (works on GP32)
Imagine Empire Strikes Back, substitute AT-ATs from camels (!?) and snow for a desert scenary, that's AotMC! You take control of a ship in this fast shooting game (similar in style to Defender) - approach the oncoming wave of camels and shoot them before they reach the base.
Lot's of fast, good action and one of my Fav C64 games...works a treat on the GP32 to boot
Ballblazer - Lucasfilm, 1985
Futuristic football game in which it's one on one. You control a 'craft' and must pick up the ball (which floats above the pitch) and shoot into the ever moving goals. The ball is kept in play by invisible force fields which you can use to bounce the ball off past the opponent into the goal!
As you score (more points the further out you are) the goal gets smaller - this all may sound strange - but's it's a gem of a game and can be great fun.
BCs Quest for tyres - Sierra, 1983
Where to start with this one? This was one of the first games I played when I got my C64. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. You have to rescue the damsel in distress but avoiding obsticals along the way.
Think Hunchback with scrolling scenary rather that 'screen by screen'..great game and worth a play.
Beach head - Access, 1983
Classic game, has a nice mixture of gameplays with a battleships type part where you have to get to projectory of your shots right and ship the ships before they sink you - along with a Zaxxon style tank bit and more!
Def. worth a play from my POV - give it a try.
Beach head 2 - Access, 1985
Take a classic, add a dash of better graphics and a sprinkling of speach. This game has the same idea of mixed styles of gameplay - all new...and all good.
Beyond the Forbidden Forest - Cosmi, 1983 (works on GP32)
Advertised as a 4D game this (in a way) was! The 4th dimension being time...and this game had that - it improves on the original (which is still a great game).
You have to go through the 'forbidden forest' slaying all the weird creature along the way (man sized scorpions, giant earth worm type things al la 'Tremors' etc) collecting golden arrows along the way. The game features night and day action and is atmospheric and gory as hell!
The charater can move in and out of the scenary which adds real depth (groan!)...shooting into and out of the scenary.
Blagger - Aligator 198?
Along with the Jet set willy games came the one I used to play - Blagger. A great platformer (if you like that type of thing!).
BMX Simulator - Codemasters, 198? (1&2) (works on GP32)
Super Sprint on the C64 just didn't work - along came BMX Sim which was basically SS on BMXs! Great fun and looks nice too!
Bomb Jack (works on GP32)
Good arcade conversion - 'nuff said!
Boulder Dash - First Star, 1984 (works on GP32)
Should need no introduction, you go around increasingly harder caves collecting diamonds - being careful boulders don't squish you!
This game was called Repton on other formats - IMO this was the best version, and there's (litterly) 100s of caves out there AND it plays brilliantly on the GP32
Bounder - Gremlin, 1985
Control the bouncy ball over various scrolling terrain, get from start to finish by not punchering the ball - or missing the safe 'ground' and plumeting to certain puncheredness!!
Good little game worth a spin (another groan!).
Bruce Lee - Datasoft, 1984
A classic, great puzzle/fighting/platform game - completed in about 20 mins (IIRC) and worth playing right through. A twist is that in 2 player mode, player 2 can control one of the baddies![/img]
