All in all one of the best games for the Commodore 64, of the 1980's, and in video game history.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0600

The second part of my collaboration effort with Stefano has been added - PITSTOP II. This is another of the great classic Commodore 64 games, and another joystick buster as well!

Start your Engines!

BREAKDANCE

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Several weeks ago I was contacted by Stefano Peracchi, an Italian man who wanted to know if he could help out by sending me scans of his Commodore 64 software collection. I was delighted that someone liked my site enough to want to help, and when I heard which sets he had I was more than excited to welcome him into the c64sets.com ranks!

Stefano starts our collaboration efforts with BREAKDANCE, the classic Epyx game. Although I only played it a few times when I was growing up, I still thought it was quite the cool game. I wasn't very good at real life break dancing and I discovered that I wasn't very good at the electronic form either! Oh well, now you can give it a try and see how you do.

Thanks, Stefano, for re-introducing us to this classic game from a great gaming company!

Break a leg

Temple of Apshai

Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I have added another of my eBay purchases: Temple of Apshai. It took me a while but I finally got all of the manual scanned in. Also be sure to check out the early (1983) Epyx brochure and the Temple of Apshai ad from 1984 - both are very cool.

I remember playing this game on my Commodore 64 and being so amazed that it was just like a computerized version of Dungeons & Dragons! I had loads of fun with Temple of Apshai... until I got Telengard!

Happy Hunting

Archon

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0700

I have finally added Archon, another of my favorite Commodore 64 games from my early teenage years. This was my first exposure to any type of battle-chess like game, and I was both amazed and addicted. A very good game that I believe really added to the credibility of both the fledgling Electronic Arts and upstart Free Fall Associates.

The contrast in black and white used through out the packaging and manual was a stroke of inspiration - and one of the most recognizable covers in the Commodore 64 gaming scene.

Good Luck in Battle

Racing Destruction Set

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Another of my recent eBay purchases has been added - Racing Destruction Set. I remember having loads of fun building crazy tracks and then racing around them. I always thought it was cool that you could have ice tracks!

Racing Destruction Set has some great cover art, and it is still really fun to play - don't forget to download the disk images to load into your emulator.

And we're off!

Scans from COMPUTE!'s Gazette

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Back in the mid 1980's I subscribed to the magazine COMPUTE!'s Gazette - which billed itself as a magazine "For Commodore personal computer users." Well, recently I was able to retrieve and peruse my collection and I came across several reviews and advertisements that I thought were fun and relevant, so I scanned them in and added them to the site.

Be sure to check out the reviews for The Seven Cities of Gold and its sequel Heart of Africa.

Also take a look at the full page advertisements for Summer Games, Jumpman, Skyfox and Heart of Africa.

Many happy memories,

Ozark Softscape's The Seven Cities of Gold

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0700

I have added the first of my recent eBay purchases - The Seven Cities of Gold. Although I never played this one in my Commodore 64 days, I have played it recently in the VICE emulator.

Enjoy,

My Recent eBay Purchases

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Here's what you can look forward to: The Seven Cities of Gold, Archon, Temple of Apshai, Racing Destruction Set and The Three Stooges. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as me!

Check back soon,

SSI's Wargame Construction Set

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0700

I have added Strategic Simulations, Inc's Wargame Construction Set. This is another of those games that I never played - but my brother did. I ended up with the package, and the box and manual were in really good condition so how could I *not* upload it? ;-) If you are/were a fan of SSI or computer wargames in general then be sure to check it out.

In the package was SSI's Summer 1987 brochure. I have uploaded it as well so you can see all the goodies that Strategic Simulations, Inc had to offer twenty years ago. It is pretty cool too.

I also created the Wikipedia article about Wargame Construction Set. It doesn't contain much other than the basics - so if you have the knowledge then please add to it.

Good Luck,

More Goodies from Epyx, EA and SSI

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0700

I have been extremely busy with work, school and my other web sites over the past few months, but I have managed to get out a few more sets from my beloved Commodore 64 game collection. Here are the newest additions:

Summer Games - The original joystick-buster! I spent many hours playing this game in intense competition with all my Jr. High buddies - one of my all time favorites.

Germany 1985 - I didn't play this one too much, but my older brother loved war games. This is my tribute to him and his fascination with the Cold War.

Archon II: Adept - Not quite as good as the original Archon, but still a unique game with some intense battles!

Skyfox - I really loved the comic book feel on the inside of the package, but the actual game got old really fast ;-)

I have also compiled a page containing some early Epyx brochures. I used to love pouring over these old brochures and trying to decide which game I wanted to get next. Be sure to check out the 1981 brochure that still had "Automated Simulations" on the cover!

Share the Commodore 64 love!

The First Three Sets

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0600

So I have finally uploaded the first three sets for c64sets.com. All three of these were among my favorite Commodore 64 games when I was growing up during the 1980's.

Telengard was my first computer role playing game. I absolutley loved it! I remember being amazed that a computer game could be like Dungeons & Dragons. I spent many hours playing this one - check out the screen shot of Roksane my level 16 character!

Jumpman has to take the cake as my all time favorite Commodore 64 game. It was totally addictive, and quite frustrating when I would die on certain levels. Still a unique idea, and I still play this one from time to time.

Heart of Africa was the first computer game that I ever played all the way to completion. It was an immersive role playing game that had a great back story. I remember getting a notebook and taking detailed notes of every where I'd been and what everyone told me. It paid off in the end as I finally discovered the tomb - even if all I got was a nice graphical screen with some music!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did,

The Beginning of c64sets.com

Welcome to c64sets.com! This is my own personal project to preserve my Commodore 64 collection in digital format and share it with the world.

Several years ago I realized that I had many vintage Commodore 64 software sets. My first thought was of eBay and how much I could get for them. I did a little bit of research, and even took pictures of my collection in anticipation of selling them. But going back through the software of my youth showed me that I just couldn't do it, I was too much of a softie.

So I started looking into ways to preserve my collection instead. I purchased a scanner, bought an XE1541 cable, downloaded VICE and started down the long road to documenting software sets that are quickly disappearing from society.

Somewhere along the way I learned HTML and realized that if I built a web site I could share my precious collection with the world. I was elated! Anyway, to make a long story short, here I am - launching the site now and hoping that it will help some people and provide a nice nostalgic trip for others.

Enjoy,
