*I* like the following:

Defender of the Crown
Elite
Commando
Paradroid
Uridium
Bruce Lee (I beat it!!)
Pitstop 2
Impossible Mission
Stunt Car Racer


...there's so many that I like.. When I got the book and cracked it open...man..it brought back memories.  I'm glad I still have my C64 emu.

I only tried the following games as a kid:

Forbidden Forest
Beyond Forbidden Forest
Time Tunnel (Probably my alltime favorite game for any console lol)
Alien Syndrome
Test Drive

There was some 2 player helicopter game where you would find eachother either via air or underground and slay eachother. Good times with that game.

Either way, once I fire up VICE (commodores are stuck in kansas), ill give some of those games you mentioned a try.
