I remember when I got my first computer back in the early 80's. It was an incredible machine, with cool sound and awesome graphics! The Commodore 64 was the hottest thing around at the time, and we played great games like Test Drive, Winter Games and Rambo. All stored on recordable cassettes.
Ok, so the C64 isn't a revolution any more, with it's outdated graphics and cassette player. But, the games are still very playable and fun.
It has become very popular to do pc remakes of classic C64 games, and some of these great conversions can be found in my Old Games Archive. However, many of the greatest C64 games can't be found as pc versions. This doesn't mean that you can't play them on modern pc's though. All you need is a neat little program to emulate the old Commodore machine, and suddenly your brand new pc shows you the classic blue C64 screen, allowing you to play all the good old C64 games!
Below you'll find a free emulator and a small selection of some of the greatest Commodore 64 games. Download and enjoy some of the gaming gems from the past!
