    Some real gems in there. Hardware scrolling and the sound capabilities are what made the C64 stand apart from all of its rivals. Loved those days. Wizball was awesome, completed it in two player mode with my younger brother playing as the catellite back in the day :o) Katakis was great too, best sidescrolling shooter on the C64, though Salamander was a great conversion as well.

    So glad to see Wizball at number 1 but no Paradroid, no Elite, no Sentinal, no Uridium. That is the magic of the C64. Everyone has a core of maybe 10 games that most people agree on and then there are 100s of others that can be put in the mix which can all have a good argument for being there. Hyper Sports is a great call which rarely makes these lists. I have listed my top 30 below
    30 Rescue on Fractulus
    29 Racing Destruction Set
    28 Spy Vs Spy
    27 Ghosts and Goblins
    26 Commando
    25 Hyper Sports
    24 Boulderdash
    23 Turrican
    22 Bruce Lee
    21 Beach Head
    20 Buggy Boy
    19 Drop Zone
    18 Park Patrol
    17 IK+
    16 Up n Down
    15 Ghostbusters
    14 Nebulus
    13 Katakis
    12 The Sentinel
    11 Bombuzal
    10 Pirates
    9 Uridium
    8 New Zealand Story
    7 Koronis Rift
    6 Forbidden Forest
    5 Turrican 2
    4 Elite
    3 Paradroid
    2 Bubble Bobble
    1 Wizball
    I wasnt a fan of the Last Ninja games

    As someone who did buy a Commodore 64 when it was first sold in the UK, I'd say a lot of this list are games that are arcade ports. Which for anyone with even a semblance of interest in the emulation scene, can find the original, much better versions to play.
    Definitely the top 2 in the list are probably my own personal favourite 2 Commodore 64 games though.
    Adding in - (trying to avoid ports & games that are better on other systems. I'm looking at you ZX Spectrum version of Skooldaze.)
    Any and all Boulderdash games.
    Same with any and all Summer/Winter/World games.
    Paradroid as already mentioned in comments.
    The Sentinel.
    Space Taxi.
    Flip & Flop. (The kangaroo/monkey isometric jumping one. there's actually a few C64 games with similar names.)
    Action Biker anyone?
    One Man and His Droid.
    Bounty Bob Strikes Back.
    Driller.
    Graham Gooch Cricket. (WAAAYY too many hours put into this lol)
    Gribbly's Day Out.
    Highway Encounter.
    R.I.S.K.
    Thing on a Spring.

      But here's the thing : " can find the original, much better versions to play." - that's almost entirely true. the 8-bit machines of the day weren't remotely able to pull of most the games so we end up with "dogleg" versions via the various conversions. Commando on C64 lacks the levels and graphical polish of the arcade version but the music is vastly superior . Then we have Bionic Commando - a game i think is overrated in the arcade but the Euro C64 version tweaks it enough to make it a different experience. Sort of miss those days of seeing how close the home versions would get.
