The C64 Collection 2

SCORE: 69

I am extremely thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of The C64 Collection 2 after the PR and Marking folks representing this game failed us so horribly. There are fourteen 8-bit home computer video games included on the The C64 Collection 2 cartridge. There is also a manual that comes with this package. Families must use the virtual keyboard in certain parts of certain games on the The C64 Collection 2 cartridge.

The games included on the The C64 Collection 2 cartridge are California Games, World Games, Impossible Mission II, Pitstop II, Sword of Fargoal, Street Sports Basketball, Urdium, Cybernoid, Nebulus, Firelord, Slayer, Zamzara, Insects in Space, and Mission Impossibubble. There are three sports games, one racing, three platformers, one action, three shoot em ups, one adventure, and one action role playing game. There are a few stand out titles on the The C64 Collection 2 cartridge for different reasons. Some of the games are better than others in my opinion.

Nebulus is a great idea for a video game. Sadly it is extremely frustrating. Zamzara has horrible design that makes this game very aggravating. Firelord is interesting but also extremely confusion. Why are we going into houses and stealing? Street Sports Basketball is supposed to be for one or two players but the computer never tried to play against me at all. Cybernoid has horrible controls that the player must map before every single game. World Games and California Games are both cool and lame at the same time. Those two sports games are tough to figure out. How do the controls work? The manual states varies by event. Then later in the physical manual gives a few pointers.

Sword of Fargoal is one of my favorite games on the The C64 Collection 2 cartridge. Insects in Space has what looks like a naked woman shooting aliens to save the people. Sort of like that old Defender video game concept. Mission Impossibubble was annoying to figure out. Mission Impossible II is a lot like the original. If you want to spend the time to find the clues you could have fun with that game.

There is some violent content found in many of the games on the The C64 Collection 2 cartridge. Pitstop II is tough to master. These games are from when the computer was really hard on the player.
