I am looking for a couple of new games for my C-64. So, if you have
a minute, mail me a list of your favorite games. A short review would be
nice, but not necessary since I think the better games will get several
recommendations.
I already have: Gunship, Raid on Bungling Bay, Beach Head, Gemstone
Warrior, Racing Destruction Set, Sargon II, Rambo, Silent Service, Field
of Fire, TAC, and Jet Combat Simulator.

After playing this game for awhile, the computer is rather easy to beat. But head-to-head competition with another player who is as good as you is great!

If you like adventure games, the Bard's Tale Series are the ones for you. Also, here's a few more you might want to look into: Mikie, Test Drive, World Tour Golf, Air Rally. ------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | BITNET: trm%psuvma.BITNET@psuvax1.UUCP : "Structure without meaning is | | UUCP: %s!psuvax1!psuvma.BITNET!trm : pointless." | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A warning about Bards Tale (1 and 2): it is one of those games for people with "born to map" tattooed on their arms. If you like adventure games but would prefer less mapping, try Ultima (I ... IV).

It's called BALL BLAZER. It's basically like a high-tech soccer game between two people. Picture, if you will two futuristic cars on a grid, grabbing the balls away from each other, and two goals that move from side to side of the goalline. This is a good game in that it is about the best two player game I've seen! (It's got an auto mode too, of course.) Try it!
