Hmm... Weird... Not too many C64 games mentioned here?
But don't worry, I'm here to fix that :-)
-Paradroid
Shooter, that offered something different
-Wizball
Well, it IS quite original, yet playable.
Got also nice co-operative 2-player game
-Laser Squad
Quite simple yet good strategy game, I guess UFO drew a lot of
inspiration from this...
-Ultima series
(Enough said)
-Alter Ego
Classic text game of the ultimate adventure: Normal life
-Lode Runner
DEFINITELY classic
Then, a few classic coin-ops
-Wizard of Wor
Well, "basic" maze game, where you have to shoot all enemies.
If not first, it was at least among the first ones of its genre
(released in 1980)
-Marble Madness
Why didn't anyone mention this classic? Or did I just miss it...
This sure has been cloned almost too many times :-)
(released in 1984)
-Rampart
Nice and quite original game, borrowing bits from Tetris
Well, missed lots of classics most likely...
