I did play Impossible Mission on my original C-64 and wonky 1541 floppy drive. The protagonist's footstep sounds used to annoy my ex-wife.
Sadly, back around 2005 my ex-wife gave away my stored C-64, Amiga, TRS80 Coco, 486 PC, and all related accessories and software before I could retrieve them, leading me to embark on my current retro computer collection obsession, replacing them and then some! I've even managed to find that original 486, a Leading Edge brand, along with matching monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I probably need an intervention...

The original, 'Might & Magic' and.... the entire Gold Box Series, all on my faithful friend, the Amiga.

Not a C-64 game, but I played this a LOT on my Commodore PC.
In glorious black & white VGA.

My 64 came with Jupiter lander and radar rat race - I became so obsessed with RRR I used to get up early before school to play it - then they took my c64 off me for 2 weeks

I had to check you weren't talking about
Roland's Rat Race
- always will be special to me because it was the first game I ever completed.

Funny, I picked up the Gold Box series on GOG a couple of years back and they were still fun but the UI was so cumbersome I just couldn't play it. The game hasn't changed so..... I must have.

Sadly not huw - it was a rat version of Pac-Man but you had time challenges and such, all along to a psychedelic version of 3 blind mice - when you’re humming it in class it’s time to put the joystick down!!

Here is another much played game;

Ha! I remember seeing Ant Attack somewhere as a very young nipper and thinking "woah, games can look like that?!" I think it must have been the pseudo-3D perspective that blew me away!

Summer Games was brilliant, as were all those Epyx Games sims. I was very impressed at the time at how they had all the countries' national anthems in the game.

Summer games was very fun to play. I remember playing a flight simulator game where you did a mail run (in Alaska maybe???).

I remember a game where you did white water canoeing, but that may have been an event in one of the 'Summer Games' games?
