Commodore 64 Game Quiz

August 31, 2007 - -

commodore 64 quizToday, I've got an interesting quiz for you which will roll right into an article I've been writing, which I plan to post this weekend.

As many of you may know, the foundation of my computer nerdiness was with my Commodore 64, which I grew up with, and which I loved dearly. I learned how to program on my Commodore, which led me (via quite the roundabout route) to the job I have today. True, I had an Apple 800XL personal computer before I had my Commodore, but I had no floppy drive on that. And true, I had a Timex-Sinclair personal computer before that, but that was a sad sad little machine. Certainly nothing to compare to the mainstream glory that was my beloved Commodore 64.

So this is a Commodore 64 game screenshot quiz. Take a look at each screenshot, and try to name that Commodore game.

I've got fifteen screenshots here - there were a lot of Commodore games back in the day. Guess as many as you can - you can click the image for a bigger version.

No idea
No hope
