c64 games 1984

I had so much fun making the 1983 compilation so I decided to do another one. I had to skip many brilliant games, because there are so many. Keyword for 1984 is Activision.

Q: How do you know you're getting old?
A: Can't finish Bruce Lee on first attempt without dying once.

Good video, there are very strong games here and I assume it was very difficult to decide which games you should include! Ghostbusters was one of my favourite when I was a child (I found it in a collection that a friend of my brother's lent us); Revenge of the Mutant Camels is one of the silliest games I've ever played! I'm looking forward to watching the next years' episodes, so keep up the good work!!!

@rainstorm1977 Indeed, 1984 was an especially good year for c64 games, but I also didn't have a chance to see all famous games from that year such as Summer Games for example. One great game was Spy vs Spy which was awesomely fun to play with a friend, but wasn't equally engaging in 1p mode.

I bought a re-release of Ghostbusters, it loaded with a Space Invaders minigame and used "One Man and His Droid" by Hubbard as BG music. Never played the original OMaHD.

Thanks for commenting :)

This is a cool idea of showcasing many games from a select year.

@Laoch111 Thanks for commenting.

I'm sure this is not an original idea, but I hope people will like my way of doing this.

The Commodore 64 spanned from 1982 to 1994 longer than any home computer ever.

I was 13 when the C64 came along. It's what I call perfect timing! I feel sorry for those that were 10 years older and never "got it"!

Wow. This was some of the best years concerning c64 games. I remember I was astounished with graphics of Pitstop II and possiblity to play multiplayer

[seventiesmovies]

Great video, great games and some really good comments by the uploader and others. Nice and all too rare to see :)

[shairaptor]

These games as a kid, made a much bigger impression on me, than todays "fancy looking" 3d games which have no spirit at all (mostly)! Or is it because I'm grown up? Nah, no spirit is correct :)

Archon: One of the most revolutionary and cool games ever. It would be a great game (remake) nowadays.

Thanks for uploading this video, took me right back to being a kid and the days when games were hard and frustrating but full of sensational gameplay, we thought the graphics were awesome. Great Stuff
