RT @Retro365X: 🎉 On this day in 1982, the Commodore 64 hit store shelves — and gaming history changed forever. With legendary sound, 16-co….

Welcome to August 1987. This month, 38 years ago, Ocean released Sensible Software's psychedelic shooter Wizball. #C64

My Top #C64 Tennis Games - No.1. Match Point. The C64’s first tennis game (1984) is also its best. The graphics are simple, and the sound is almost non-existent, but the physics are excellent, and it's fantastic fun to play. Game, Set and Championship to Psion!

My Top #C64 Tennis Games No.2. International Tennis. Following the success of International Soccer & Basketball came the superb International Tennis. Nice, colourful graphics, a unique side-on perspective & original & hugely enjoyable gameplay make this a terrific tennis game.

My Top #C64 Tennis Games No.3. International 3D Tennis. While its graphics look a bit naff, with wireframe players resembling bent coat hangers, I3T’s gameplay, while tricky at first, is super rewarding once mastered. An original and engaging tennis title from Sensible Software.

My Top 64 #C64 Tennis Games - No.4. On-Court Tennis. With nice, colourful graphics and easy-to-get-into gameplay, 1985's On-Court Tennis is a solid tennis title. Playing against the computer is fun, but the game's at its best when you go head-to-head against a friend.

My Top 64 #C64 Tennis Games - No.5. Passing Shot. A conversion of the Sega arcade original, Passing Shot contains a mix of top-down and 3D arcade action. Graphics are nice, and it's easy to pick up & play, and while it's not an 'ace' title (sorry), it's fun for a while.

Seeing as it's Wimbledon fortnight.

Welcome to July . 1988!. 37 years ago this month, Rainbow Arts released The Great Giana Sisters on the #C64

Take a bow @jazrignall - your book is a thing of beauty. Superbly presented, brilliantly written and fascinating to read, it's a must-have if you're interested in the early days of videogames. Even the packaging is awesome!

If you're on B-Sky, pop by and join in with my latest #C64 list - 'Attack of the Clones'. 👇

You'll need to switch to BS (search for C64Reloaded) for the rest of the rundown in 'My Fave #C64 Run & Gun Games'. See you on the other side!

My Favourite #C64 Run & Gun Games – No 10. Commando. With nice graphics, an amazing Rob Hubbard soundtrack and instantly addictive gameplay, Commando could’ve been the perfect arcade conversion. Sadly, it was five butties short of the picnic.

My Favourite #C64 Run & Gun Games – No 11. Rambo. Rambo is a fun run-and-gun game with a cool sandbox-y feel. Nice graphics, addictive gameplay, and an astounding Martin Galway soundtrack make this action-packed Commie-killing Commando clone hugely enjoyable.

My Favourite #C64 Run & Gun Games – No 12. Hawkeye. A polished platform/shooter hybrid, Hawkeye is a typically classy, high-end Thalamus release. Excellent graphics, a brilliant Jeroen Tel soundtrack, stacks of action, and immediately addictive gameplay make it a quality title.

My Favourite #C64 Run & Gun Games – No 13. Mission AD. Inspired by Blade Runner, Mission AD is a superbly presented game from Odin. The box art is beautiful, the graphics are gorgeous, the soundtrack is superb and the easy-to-get-into gameplay is immediately exciting.

😍😍😍.

My Favourite #C64 Run & Gun Games No 14. Robocop 2. While the graphics are blocky & the soundtrack isn't as cool as the first game, Robocop 2 is a sprawling title (it contains over 20 levels) with varied gameplay that’s highly playable. It's also less buggy than its predecessor.

I have 3 of these left! Give me a shout if you'd like one. :).
