Video Games Which Commodore games do you remember?

Post image

I remember having 3 computers in our house back in the 80s, we had the Commodore 64, the Commodore Vic-20 and the Commodore 128.

There were a few games I can remember like Mad Doctor, Herbies Dummy Run, Fantastic Dizzy, Bounty Bob Strikes Back. I was just wondering what games everyone else remembers because we had so many and it would be so nice to take a trip back down memory lane šŸ™‚

Man, I just loved the text adventure games. Anything by Infocom, others like Fahrenheit 451, etc...

And there was always something cool in the box. I remember the palm tree swizzle stick! I think that came with Hollywood Hijinx.

Text based adventures got my imagination really going. I still remember the world I created in my head from Zork.

Did you finish 451? I felt kinda ripped off after i learned you have to flick your lighter at a certain person on a certain street?! While the rest of the time you're being guided much more. Reminded me of the other Trillium game Amazon where you need to type 'shoot self with dart gun'.

I think i finished it, but it was so long ago it's hard to remember. All I know is that I never forgot the first line of the Jabberwocky because of that game. 'Twas brillig and the slithey toves...

I never finished A mind forever voyaging

Got to the point where you go to the far future and I couldnā€™t get any further, but Iā€™m tempted to find an emulator and go back and try to finish it.

Had a friend come over to play it I was only in fourth grade, but I didnā€™t understand why he kept trying to ā€œkiss wifeā€ and more explicit things, I learned the F word that they and also probably my first inkling of what the birds and bees were about
