C64 games? Geez, where do we start with this one? Akira, Amigaboy, help me out here!
Gotta throw in Turrican 1 or 2, Creatures 1 or 2, Monty on the Run, IK+, Pitstop II, Summer Games, California Games, Defender of the Crown, Combat School, Bubble Bobble, Ghost 'n'Goblins, & G.I. Joe. I can't vouch for how well they'll run on a mobile phone C64 emulator, just under ordinary lameulation they'll run fine. There'll be a heap more to add to the list, it really depends what type of games you like really! ![]() |

There are many classics for the C64. These are my favorites which I play once in a while:
Arkanoid by Imagine, 1986; Cataball aka Hoppin' Mad by Hit-Pak, 1987; Commando by Elite, 1986; Evolution by Sydney Development Group, 1982; Fast Eddie by Sirius, 1982; Guzzler by Interceptor, 1984; Last Ninja II by System 3, 1988; Nebulus aka Tower Toppler by Rainbow Arts, 1988; Nibbly '92 by Double Density, 1992; Qix, 1984; Tapper by Americana, 1984; Wizball by Sensible Software for Ocean, 1987; Zenji by Activision, 1984. |

Have a look at the Zzap!64 website for review of C64 stuff from the time.
A good overview is the Gold Medal Award list. |

The C64 version of Bubble bobble is great.
I'd also suggest Impossamole starring Monty mole (same series as monty on the run). I don't know why it gets so much criticism. It's a nice little game. And I can't believe noone has mentioned impossible mission. Dinky doo is a good game which doesn't need more buttons pressed at the same time either (in case your phone doesn't support it). |

Bubble Bobble. Definitely. Most of the games I loved for the C64 have aged badly, but not Bubble Bobble. I were playing Miami Vice again a while ago, and it struck me that, well, it's not really fun anymore. Same with a few other titles that I used to think of as timeless classics.
But Bubble Bobble is still as great as it was back then, so play that. And Stix. Bruce Lee, perhaps? Giana Sisters? |

If you had an Atari 800XL You'll find that most of your favourites for that area available on the C64 in slightly stripped down form., so have a look for them.

Jubble bobble for MIDP 1.0 enabled cellphones is a good remake of bubble bobble. Runs incredibly fast too.

Raid on Bungeling Bay
Raid over Moscow Beachhead 2 Jumpman/Jumpman Jr. 90% of the games published by Electronic Arts or Epyx i'd recommend Questron 2/Legacy of the Ancients/Legend of Blacksilver and Ultima IV except for the fact you're playing on the phone |

Does it actually support multiple button presses too? most cellphones only support one button pressed at a time.

@Matfink
Hmmmm where to start.....there are so many. Here's a very select bunch that I can recommend off the top of my head: Boulder Dash (think there were 4 official ones; all hugely addictive) Mega Apocalypse (kick-arse Mad Planets clone with funky music & sound fx by Martech) Impossible Mission (Epyx) International Karate, IK+ (both by System 3) The Last Ninja 1, 2 & 3 (System 3) The Way of the Exploding Fist (Melbourne House) Pang (Ocean) Wizball (Ocean) Combat School (Imagine/Ocean; excellent coin-op conversion) H.E.R.O. (Activision) Pastfinder (Activision; vastly underrated shoot-em'up) Rock 'n' Wrestle (Melbourne House) Hypersports (Imagine/Ocean; great coin-op conversion) Hacker (Activision) Summer Games 1 & 2, Winter Games, World Games, California Games (Epyx) Super Cycle (Epyx) Buggy Boy (Elite) Ghostbusters (Activision; classic game) The Eidolon (Lucasfilm Games) Koronis Rift (Lucasfilm Games) Beach Head 1 & 2 (Access) Uridium (Hewson) Turrican 1 & 2 (Rainbow Arts) |
