most my C64 faves are already listed, but some others were (AFAIR):

Beach Head I (and II aswell, what a superb varied action game)
Raid Over Moscow (similar to Beach Head, I remember this was hard to crack)
H.E.R.O. (very nice & addictive platformer)
Way Of The Little Dragon (IK+ prequel)
The Last V8 (fun drive-around game with voicesample)
A.C.E. (a flight sim with unique 2 player-mode: pilot & copilot)
Trashman (much fun here, beware of the speeding motorbiker & not missing the trashtruck!)
Pharao's Curse (a hard Egyptian era platformer)
Hey Taxi (funny platformer, with some spaceship taxi picking up a dude yelling "hey taxi" while waving his hand)

Erm, last time I checked IK+ had a prequel, it was called International Karate, also published by System 3,programmed by Archer Maclean,(Still prefer it as my all time C64 beat-em-up).
