I have quite a few disk's with 10+ games on and also turbo tapes. Anyone remember turbo tapes? Games would load one after another and you entered a command to play them or go onto load the next one. I had 1 tape with the following on:-
Pitfall 2, Adventures of Sammy lightfoot, Jumping jack flash, montezuma's revenge, Aztec challenge, Lady tut and Wizard of wor. My fav tape!
I had Wizball but I think I lent it to a friend and never had it back, same with kikstart 2, Ahhhh defender of the crown too. Amazing what you remember once prompted.
I must admit I was a huge C64 pirate. One day my Dad came home with a black bag full of games that a workmate had lent him. We went to WHSmith and bought some blank tapes and spent an entire weekend making our own turbo tapes. Luckily for me Nebulus was the first game on one of the tapes. I probably would never have discovered it otherwise.
Some nice disk stuff there... I can't take photos of my stuff... well, I could but it would be a LOT of photos heh...
Bubble Bobble is arguably one of the best conversions on the C64. You might like the signed copy that I have, courtesy of randomly finding out I won something from Steve Ruddy on eBay.
Microprose Soccer is surely the greatest sports game the world has ever seen. Forget all this Winning Eleven malarky. Rain and banana shots on the highest setting was insanely good. I couldn't beat the first team, Oman in single-player, but I was pretty amazing in 2-player. I was the champion on my estate. 15-0 games were not uncommon.

Commodore 64C Hollywood pack was my first foray in gaming, well actually it wasn't as I had received an Atari 2600 Jr for Christmas some years before. I did have a C64 scart cable though. My preferred C64 joystick were actually the CX24 Atari joysticks that I kept after the 2600 itself was thrown away. I went through Quickshots like no man's business, but the CX24's were quality.
