Cover Title Genre Description Link Screenshot
Bubble Bobble C64 Remastered Platformer Be a cute dinosaur, spit bubbles at your enemies. Improved version of the old port of Taito's classic single-screen platformer. Link
Commando Arcade: Special Edition Shmup Vastly reworked version of the old port of Capcom's Commando. Redone graphics, new music, more stages, better performance. More details here. Link
Galaga C64 Shmup A very good indie port of Galaga, by way of the NES version. Link
Galencia Shmup Galaga-inspired shootan with some gorgeous graphics. Also a rare game that uses the border area. Also on PC. Commercial
Ghosts 'N Goblins Arcade Platformer Sir Arthur must save his beloved princess from the demon king's claws and his undead armies! A fan port of Capcom's rage-inducing arcade classic, prettier and more accurate than the old official port. Link
Planet X2 RTS A real time strategy by retro youtuber The 8-Bit Guy. It's pretty much an 8-bit Starcraft, about as complex as it gets on this system. Commercial
Sam's Journey Platformer A little boy is isekai'd to a magical world inside his wardrobe. This game is very pretty and pretty huge by C64 standards, full of exploration and puzzle elements. You can get costumes for unique abilities, like a sword-wielding pirate or a wall-climbing ninja. Commercial
Sonic the Hedgehog Platformer Impressive port, based on the Master System version. Link
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - C64 Fan Version Shmup Yes, there was an official TESB for the C64 by Domark, but that was a rail shooter adapted from Atari's vector arcade. This one is completely different, based on the Atari 2600 game by Parker Brothers: a side-scrolling shooter with Defender-like gameplay, recreating the Battle of Hoth.
Review.

Super Mario Bros. Platformer It's-a him, Mario! A complete and faithful C64 port of SMB (not to be confused with the single-screen arcade Mario Bros, which did have an official port). Review. Link
