Floppy Deep Dive

Q*bert. Remember this one?

Secret of the Silver Blades on the Commodore 64. Loading an SSI Gold Box adventure meant settling in for the journey, from creating your party to searching for every last gem.

Did you ever find all 100 gems?

The Secret of Monkey Island. Remember this one?

When we played adventure games in the 1980s, a pencil and paper were part of the setup. Every room, hallway, and place you might need to revisit went onto a hand-drawn map.

Did you draw your own maps, or did you just wander around until you figured it out?

BattleTech. Remember this one?

Speed Buggy on the Commodore 64. One of those arcade conversions that just feels right on the C64 — fast, smooth, and seriously playable.

Did you call it Speed Buggy or Buggy Boy?

LOAD Command Ritual. Remember this one?

Karate Champ on the Commodore 64. 🥋 Did you play this one back in the day?

From Duke Nukem to Duke Nukem 3D. Remember watching Duke make the jump into 3D?

Grand Prix Circuit on the Commodore 64. That engine sound, those tight turns, and one more lap. Did you play this one back in the day? 🏁
