Any Commodore 64 Alums? - EvBoard

**Miles D** · 10-07-2004, 10:49 PM

So who in here had a commodore 64 or commodore 128? I had the 128, which played all the commodore 64 games.

and my favorite 64 games were:

1) Bounder (guide a tennis ball on a journey above the stratosphere)
2) Activision's Beamrider
3) Zaxxon
4) Math Blasters (where you could blast all sorts of math problems... it was "educational")

This is a real flashback to the 80's.

Commodore 64???

I remember a 'kill the martians'... loading time about 30-40 min., I could leave home for shopping, watching my fav TV program, pooping, etc. before the game runs. LOL

I had both but I can't remember what happened to the commodore 64, all i actually remember about that is we had to keep replacing to joysticks!

My mum set the powerpack to the atari (i dunno what number) up to the wrong voltage and blew it up....good times lol.

i don't really remember playing on it (bad early childhood memory), but we still have our commodore 64! i remember playing on it a few years ago, will have to get it out of the loft again some time.

ah yeah... treasure island, the maths builder thing (probably math blaster i guess), some ice game (uh, yeah... lol), etc. anyone know what they were called? tried searching but i can only find lists of games and no real info, not even a cover pic. but, wow, there sure was a lot of games!

*moves playstation aside* right, where's the ladder... think i'm gonna go look soon!

There were two different games... math blaster was kinda like space invaders. And i had math builder, too. You'd go around and try to put a machine together with numbers that solved a problem. The trouble with math builders is that it was almost impossible to reach the numbers after a certain point in the game... YOU'D HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO JUMP UP INTO THE TREES USING YOUR DOG.

Another favorite game from the system: TEMPLE OF APSHI. Hell yeah. Don't get killed by the tomatoes.

Oh. Watch out for Wraiths, vampire monks, black cats, Jeb's spirit and mummies... they'd all give you a chill. *brrr* And you'd lose constitution points.

(that was really bad to lose... believe me. Your fatigue level would drop like a rock).

ok, thanks... but now i'm kinda confused. i think it was called number builder actually, not math builder (also have one called number chaser as well in that case). oops. memory like a goldfish.

but erm, i do remember the object of the game now. there was like different levels where you'd use ladders or jump or something (kinda like mario i guess) and collect numbers to get a set number or something... yeah... lol. like +3 and -4 to get -1 or something. this is so vague haha. memory like a goldfish.

also i remember crazy golf, fire ant, and i think the other was called icicle works... not sure what else we had. memory like a goldf... ah i really need to find it and play now.
