They aren’t in any order, but Icicle Works was a favourite of mine. My mother still talks about it today.

Hi Glen

I would have put Icicle works at the top.

I had a Plus/4 for Christmas way back in the 80′s. It came with ten games which contained Treasure Island, Icicle works and a rather frustrating crazy golf game. Pretty good machine but was let down by lack of hardward sprites, decent sound chip and major titles. However the machine was more than capable of running games that looked similar to the C64, albeit without the great music.

The best thing about the plus 4 was the superior basic and the built in dissassembler which taught me the basics for coding and probably kicked off my career in software engineering.

After all these years I’m still playing the games on an emulator. Great times.

I stumbled upon this trying to find one of my favourite games on the C16 (which was my first computer back in the day). I searched for “C16 amoeba”, “C16 virus” and no luck, so I searched for “C16 games list”, and there was your page, with Spore as the number one! What a game! I’m gonna go check out the PC remake now. Cheers.

Thanks for the memories!!! So many great games. Icicle Works was the first game I ever completed (you became invincible after so many points) and Soccer Boss was the first game I ever managed to break into and change the code to allow me to have infinite money

I’m not sure, but I suggest you try eBay, retro-trader.com and commodore16.com

There are plenty of C16 and C64 emulators out there, I’m sure you could play Icicle Works again with those.
