My Fave 'B' Games - No.45
Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom
One of the C64’s earliest arcade conversions (1983), BRPOZ is a bog-standard version of the Sega original. The 3D effect is pretty good for ’83, but the graphics are blocky, the sound is weak and the gameplay is very repetitive.

Armalyte
A blistering shoot-em-up that pushed the C64 to its limits, Armalyte's stunning backgrounds, detailed sprites, cool co-op gameplay & relentless alien waves make it feel like an arcade game on a humble C64. Tough, technical & gorgeous, it's a masterpiece.

Arkanoid
Arkanoid reinvented Breakout for a new generation — slick controls, smooth graphics and addictive power-ups turned simple block-busting into gaming perfection. The C64 version is fast, polished and endlessly replayable. Simple idea, timeless fun.

Archon/Archon 2
Part chess, part arcade combat - 100% genius. In Archon, Light battles Dark across a shifting board where strategy meets real-time duels, while Adept expands the idea with elemental magic and smarter AI. Innovative and utterly brilliant titles.

Avenger
A superb Gauntlet-style adventure with a neat ninja twist, Avenger has you exploring maze-like fortresses, collecting keys and bumping off baddies on a quest for vengeance. Atmospheric, stylish and addictive, it’s one of Gremlin’s best C64 releases.

Aztec Challenge
Paul Norman’s Aztec Challenge is pure tension — sprinting through spear gauntlets, dodging traps, and surviving by split-second timing, all set to an atmospheric soundtrack. Intense and unforgettable, it's an early C64 classic.

Arc of Yesod
Arc has you exploring the planet Ariat in search of the strange crystal that powers the mysterious Black Monolith. With fab graphics, great music and a huge map to explore, it's an excellent game, it's just a shame it's so like its big brother.

Arnie
Chris Butler’s Arnold Schwarzenegger-inspired shooter puts a clever isometric spin on the classic run-and-gun formula. Nice graphics and addictive, action-packed gameplay make this a cracking little Commando clone.

Aliens
Aliens is an atmospheric title that effectively captures the film’s vibe with dark visuals and bursts of panic-filled sound. Managing multiple marines is challenging, but its tension & cinematic feel made it one of the best film tie-ins at the time.
