Bombjack
Packed size: 28k
Original size: 47k

Pretty average platform game, collect the bombs. I think it was pretty popular though.
Boogaboo
Packed size: 14k
Original size: 15k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Boogaboo the flea has fallen down a large cave. You must try to get him out of there by performing precise, great leaps. The game is very cute and colorful, and plays really well.
Bruce Lee
Packed size: 32k
Original size: 50k
Format: P00
Doc: Apple
A pretty cool platform/explore/karate game. Jump around and collect stuff, kick the ninjas and sumos in the nads.
Bubble bobble
Packed size: 40k
Original size: 42k
Format: P00
Doc: No
The cutest game ever made. Bub and Bob are the two bubble blowing dragons that enter the cave of monsters. They catch the monsters with their bubbles and jump on them to collect fruit. Lots of levels and lots of extras.
Burger time
Packed size: 14k
Original size: 30k
Format: P00
Doc: No
As a hamburger chef you are making giant hamburgers. Step on the ingredients to make them fall and land on the plates. Watch out for the egg and hot dog though.
Chuckie Egg
Packed size: 11k
Original size: 21k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Play the fat henkeeper who has to collect eggs from his aggressive chicks. Very simple, but strangely addictive.
Donkey Kong
Packed size: 12k
Original size: 17k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Yep, the Nintendo classic for the C64. Climb the building and rescue the chick.
Great Giana Sisters
Packed size: 40k
Original size: 42k
Format: P00
Doc: No
A Super Mario Bros clone that's better than the original. A great game with lots of secret bonuses and warps.
Hercules
Packed size: 17k
Original size: 36k
Format: P00
Doc: No
A very challenging platformer, based on the ten deeds of Hercules. You never know what to expect. Platforms are seldom stable, they often disappear from under you or catch fire. Sometimes platforms also appear from thin air if you jump to the right place.
Henry's house
Packed size: 25k
Original size: 44k
Format: P00
Doc: No
A cute platformer, starring young Henry in his house that has turned into a nightmare. The game features very nice colorful graphics and challenging, original rooms. One good thing (that was not common in games these days) is that when you manage to complete a level you don't have to replay it.
Hunchback
Packed size: 10k
Original size: 31k
Format: P00
Doc: No
You, as hunchback must rescue Esmeralda. Jump over tumbling rocks, avoid spears and traverse deep pits to achieve your goal. Though it's a primitive game, it's still very entertaining.
Impossible mission - P00 version Impossible mission
Packed size: 39k, 104k
Original size: 44k, 171k
Format: P00, D64
Doc: C64
An amazing game from Epyx. Locate Elvin the evil bugger in his nest. Ride elevators to get to rooms where pieces of the puzzle are. In these rooms you must avoid the killer droids that are part of Elvin's army. The game has great graphics, especially the animation of the main character.
To download the P00 version, click on the picture or on the title. This version does not include the sampled speech intro. To get this, download the D64 version.
Jet Set Willy
Packed size: 28k
Original size: 30k
Format: P00
Doc: No
I believe this was the follow-up to Manic Miner. Willy now has a great mansion in which to walk around in. Here resides all sorts of weirdness, from flapping toilets to flying housekeepers. Nice game, but a little hard for me.
Jumpman Jr - P00 version Jumpman Jr
Packed size: 12k, 67k
Original size: 17k, 171k
Format: P00, D64
Doc: C64
Another scorcher from Epyx. As Jumpman, you must clear the building of all the bombs (the little rings). Climb ladders and ropes, and above all, JUMP, to accomplish your mission.
For me, Jumpman Jr was the classic, since I didn't have a disk drive in my early days as a C64 user. However, if you want the original Jumpman, you can get the D64 version of it here. It includes both Jumpman and Jumpman Jr.
Lazy Jones
Packed size: 17k
Original size: 34k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Lazy Jones is the janitor of a hotel, and if there's one thing he can't stand it's work. So he hides in the rooms of the hotel and plays videogames. Has lots of small arcade classics in it.
Manic miner
Packed size: 22k
Original size: 48k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Guide your miner through many levels of platform action/puzzle listening to fine music by Grieg. A classic, and a good game.
Miner 2049'er
and
Bounty Bob Strikes Back

Packed size: 47k
Original size: 56k
Format: P00
Doc: No
This is a "pac-manish"-like platform game. You must walk and jump around all platforms to finish a level, and you can grab all sorts of things that'll make the little nasty monsters very afraid of you.
Miner 2049'er was the first game, but in my opinion, BBSB (picture) is the better of the two.
Mission elevator
Packed size: 30k
Original size: 45k
Format: P00
Doc: No
In this spy/action/platform game you ride elevators up and down a building, search for clues and generally mow down all of the men in coats you come across.
Monty Mole
Packed size: 24k
Original size: 26k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Monty Mole is perhaps not the best game for the C64, but I bought the original and fell in love with it. Monty explores an underground system in search for... riches? I'm not sure what, or why, but then, who cares?
Mr Robot
Packed size: 14k
Original size: 171k
Format: D64
Doc: No
Great platform action, collect all the dots from under you and avoid the dangerous creatures that dwell on the platform. Even has a game editor, for endless fun.
Pharao's curse
Packed size: 22k
Original size: 40k
Format: P00
Doc: No
A weird game, walk around the game and collect artifacts. Avoid the mummy and the crazy egyptian. Catch the birdie that will take you to a random room. Pretty fun.
Pitfall 2
Packed size: 12k
Original size: 30k
Format: P00
Doc: No
A cool exploration game with nice graphics. Walk or swim or jump to get to the gold, and probably some other goal which is unknown to me.
Popeye
Packed size: 14k
Original size: 17k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Nice game based on everybody's favorite spinach-eating cartoon character. Popeye has to collect all of the hearts that his beloved Olive Oil throws around her. Brutus will of course try to stop you, but grab a can of spinach and he won't stand a chance.
QBert
Packed size: 17k
Original size: 46k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Jump around and cover all the squares. A classic.
Snokie
Packed size: 17k
Original size: 39k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Little Snokie has lost his mum, and is on a journey to find her. Beware of tumbling boulders, dangerous pits and falling ice. The game can be frustratingly difficult, but there's still something there that makes you want to give it another try, and another, and another...
Spindizzy
Packed size: 27k
Original size: 37k
Format: P00
Doc: No
As a gyroscope you have to collect all the gems in the world. A truly original game, and it's fun too. The control is difficult to master at first, but once you get a hang of it it starts getting fun.
Starquake
Packed size: 35k
Original size: 45k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Don't remember much about this game, except that I played it pretty much, so I guess it was fun.
Zorro
Packed size: 28k
Original size: 54k
Format: P00
Doc: No
Zorro must rescue his beloved from the crooked crooks. Jumping and fencing are two of the ingredients, and puzzle solving the third.
