winter games with the bobsled was so good, and the ski jump.
I had a cart game called Decathlon, it broke so many joysitcks, cause all you had to do was left/right/left/right for running/swimming and a press of the button sometimes for polevault or javelin
I also had this great game that came in a 6 game box set called 'Pedro' and you were this gardener and you ahd to protect your garden from all these bugs. One of the most addictive games i had.
Pitsop II was another... was it the pink on the tires that meant you were about to get a blowout?

I had this one game.. called "Bounder" it never quite played correctly on my C64.. i think it mighta been a C128 game.. but i was trying to overclock my C64 or something.. hehe.. i was 7 at the time.. and i was buying 'Byte' Magazine.. and coding my own games ;)
anyway.. the game was pretty dang cool.. it was this overhead view of a maze-like platform in the sky.. and you were a tennis ball.. bouncing in 3d perspective up and down.. toward and away from the camera.. and you had to navigate across the platform (scrolled down as you went) without landing on tiles that had tacks or falling through holes..
I had some cartridges too.. (plugged into the back right of the keyboard) moon patrol had one of the phattest in game soundtracks ever.. look that up if you don't believe me..
also.. this weird beatbox game where your dude was walking around with a huge boom box on his shoulder.. and the crux was that you had to piss as many people off as possible with loud music.. but them some dude would come attack you and you'd die instantly..
and i still use my C64 monitor today as my output video monitor at home when i am working on motion graphics :O

I was wondering when someone was going to mention Karateka... I was always a big fan of Spy vs Spy. Great stuff!

All the C64 games I had were pirated, and came on audio tapes. There was 50/60 games on one audio tape and you had to rewind/fast forward to find the spot where the game started and then load it up.
My favorite games were:
1. BMX game in California Games
2. Pirates
3. Laser Squad
4. Wonder Boy
5. International KarateAnyone know the name of that game where you had a top-down view of a ninja in a maze and you threw shurikens at monsters.
I can't find it anywhere.
