I think the greatest two c64 cart games were Wizard of Wor and Lemans!

I had LEMANS and used to love playing it via cart as it loaded almost instantly, which meant I didnt have to rummage thru my colly just to play that particular game. The most number of carts I have ever owned has to be Visible Solar System.

Now Im not really sure why I got so many from various collections but I think because it was so limited in what you could do within it,not many people wanted to hang onto it (I will have to send a couple to Brad for use in the sites competitions)..........hey it beats tossing them out Wink

hey thanks again for the stuff you sent me mate, ill have to think of a worthwhile comp for people to enter to win one of these great C64 carts you've sent me!

oh by the way, the 1750 is worth quite a bit of money, are you sure you just want to give it away?

I'm currently in the process of trying to collect every C64 cart ever released and so have twenty-four different titles. Quality-wise, you can't go past the "super cartridges" that were released to coincide with the ill-fated launch of the C64GS. They are perfectly compatble with all C64 systems but are a little bigger (longer) and can contain as much as 1MB of memory! Normally, C64 carts are simpler games to their cassette and disk counterparts but not so with the super carts which stretch the C64's capacity to its limit! So far, I only have Terminator 2 and Navy Seals as they're pretty hard to come by but these are the holy grails of C64 carts.
OK, favourite cart? Let's see, that would have to be a toss up between H.E.R.O. and Jumpman Junior.

Absolutely! What with all those creepy weeds and vines throughout the tunnels, it looked a damn sight better than the blocky 2600 offering. Although I'm not quite sure what "god too better" means!

I remember all the new carts coming out near the end of the reign of the C64. It was highly made aware that they could not be copied etc, the pirated versions came out before the legal!
