I'd say for most of its lifespan it didn't have a true rival because the low end computer market collapsed in 1984 and the C64 was left without significant North American competition.

The 1351 mouse was a cool novelty but not much stuff can actually use it. Some guy did a hack of Maniac Mansion to add 1351 support but it only works on PAL machines as NTSC doesn't have enough raster time to read the mouse.

Mine. I posted my BASIC breakout game in the last Commodore thread, I've updated it pretty substantially since then:

-completely overhauled the brick drawing routine, instead of manually printing 7 rows of 40 reversed blank spaces I use a for to loop to do it automatically and alternate the color at every line
-completely overhauled the original really stupid brick breaking code, before it would just print 4 spaces in a row wherever the ball struck and then flip its y direction, now it subdivides the screen into 8 blocks and will automatically destroy the particular block whose quadrant the ball happens to strike in
-removed as many special Commodore print commands as possible to make copy and pasting and emulator use easier
-totally removed paddle control because it felt like shit at the 5 fps an interpreted BASIC game like mine runs at, which also works out for the best because VICE has 0 paddle support
-score is no longer displayed in game to improve performance.

Code in the next post, keep in mind I'm still using Commodore cursor keys for certain thing because it's easier, so there may be some visual glitches in emulators if they're not properly typed.

BTW if anyone can help, I'm having trouble getting the paddle sprite to access all 320 or whatever pixels on the screen because of the two registers for location. I haven't actually read the user's guide explanation for it yet, but any help all the same would be appreciated.

But if your game code is trivial enough to fit in the vblank can you really call it a serious game? Unless it's a text adventure you'll probably want to be fucking with screen memory, sprites, etc right ahead of/behind the beam. Have a more careful look at the code and you'll see it is "wrapped around the vblank", just not using an interrupt.

This was the original code for drawing the playfield:

41 print "{home}":print "{purple}{down}{down}{down}{rvson} "
42 print "{lblue}{rvson} " "
43 print "{blue}{rvson} " "
44 print "{green}{rvson} " "
45 print "{yellow}{rvson} " "
46 print "{orange}{rvson} " "

It's literally just printing reversed space characters with their colors manually inputted. The current code is:

41 print chr$(147):print "{down}{down}"
42 read o
43 poke 646,o
44 for l=1 to 40: print chr$(18);chr$(32);:next
45 t=t+1
46 if t=6 then 50
47 goto 42

270 data 2,8,7,5,6,4,10

Here the color values are stored as data after the sprite and read as O, the variable poked into 646 in line 43 (the address that controls character color). The actual drawing is handled by line 44 which prints a 40 character long string of reversed, colored spaces. Line 45 is the start of an incrementor, that loops the program back to line 42 (to begin drawing the next row of bricks) until t=6, at which point it returns control to the main program. The end result is attached.

Alter Ego is one of the more novel game ideas ever. Guide your character through life from infancy to old age through a multiple choice format. A different version for women was made but few copies were sold because not many grils were into computer gaming back then.

Nah it's a bland collectathon with a brutally hard difficulty level and ultimately it's just a vehicle for a parallax scrolling engine the programmers wrote. At least TLN has an interesting concept. Sad but typical of many later PAL games where demoscener effects took precedence over game design.

Sierra really didn't do a whole lot with the C64 and stopped releasing anything for it after 1984. I believe the main reason was shifting their focus to the AGI adventure games which weren't technically possible on the C64 (not enough memory for it).

I have fond memories of Asterix and the Magic Cauldron.
I was in grade school at the time and a classmate (muh best buddy for the entire year!) told me about this Asterix game where you could walk around this huge area with Obelix following you.
he showed me the trick to getting rid of Obelix, which was neat.

Always liked those earlier games with big maps like King's Quest where you could actually explore a big world.

I believe this game is switching char sets in midline because the background graphics are highly detailed and I can't imagine you'd have enough slots left in the char table (256 chars total) to still be able to make the fighters and referee (plus the score counter).

Nightmare on Elm Street was good for the 64. So was Guerilla War and Tomahawk. Also, Raid on Bungeling Bay and Raid over Moscow. The C64 had the best versions of those classic games in my opinion. The Last Ninja games are pretty good on it, as is Bad Blood (a post apocalyptic ARPG). There are also a lot of homebrew games like Organism, which is "Alien" styled and isometric. There are RTS games like Planet X2 & 3 and RPGs like Dark Quest II that are really impressive. One guy is even trying to port Skyrim to it:

Hi-res graphics often look better but they're not used so much because in scrolling games they create a headache with shifting the color RAM. In multicolor mode you can set up your graphics in such a way that you can totally avoid shifting color RAM. See this level in North & South. It has a continuous band of aqua for the sky and yellow for the buildings/dirt, with orange and brown as the global multicolors. No color shifting=fast scrolling.

If you were scrolling a screen like in Joe Gunn, an entire screen's worth of color blocks have to be shifted. But if you aren't going to scroll the screen, it's not an issue

Top kek kid. I joked that a tape drive and 300 baud modem are "must haves" for a C64. YYu used that as an opportunity to show that everything you know about the system was learned on the internet. When I pointed out you're a dumb kid who has no idea what shit cost back in 1982, because you weren't even born yet, you lost your shit. Because, after all you're 32 and a half years old and have watched a lot of youtube about how things were before you were born. And now you're coping and projecting like a mofo.
