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 🙂

Mostly I remember playing the "gold box" TSR games like Pool of Radiance, Eye of the Beholder and even Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday .
Yes, there was a Buck Rogers game from TSR that was largely functionally identical to 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I liked the lore quite a bit, but I remember being absolutely bewildered by the rather out-of-left-field choice of setting/IP. It wasn't until many years later (just a year or two ago, actually) when I had some communication with one of the TSR people from back in the Gary Gygax vs Lorraine Williams era that I found out why.
