A few I remember, but some glaring omissions in the 'shoot-em-up' category which the C64 was probably most famous for
These were the true (shoot em up) classics for me

No Elvis lol, I'm sure the C64 was before your time.
What a shame Mikkh that your favs are not on the list. I wonder if they are around on the internet somewhere.

Nostalgia is often best left as a pleasant memory - and besides, they play rubbish in a browser
You can download the emulators for all the old 'home computers' yourself, as I have done in the past, but what was state of the art back in those days now looks laughably poor and the real playability of those games came via the joysticks of the time and from patiently waiting for the game to load from cassette tapes. They just don't feel right played on a keyboard and the 'good old days' were only really any good at that particular time.
It's nearly 30 years since the C64 ruled the World - RIP old friend

They do work, you just need to ignore the 'press space' to play nonsense - it doesn't work To get Outrun to play I think I pressed Z to start the game, used X to steer right and 3 to steer left (after pressing every key on the keyboard!) You should be able to get the others to work with similar keys Or download one of the many emulators www.zophar.net/c64.htmlThe emulator is no good without the games though - get them here www.doperoms.com/roms/Commodore_64.html
