Mostly any games on a Commodore Vic-20 or C64

I do recall having an old TV console, ie Ping pong, etc, but, I wouldn't say that was as nostalgic as the later cassette games... the screaching sounds whilst loading (for minutes)... ahhh...

What were your favourite C64/Vic20 games? Was the Vic20 that popular in the UK in the 80s?

Uridium ... Jetpac... Time Tunnel...

Chiller / Thriller - the one that had to change it's name & music to avoid legal action from Michael Jackson: https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/chiller-v1/

Er... the Last V8...

Man.. there were loads and I don't really recall their names, but can recall the games

Vic-20 was the lower cost option of the C64, so yeah, loads around. Of course you always wanted the C64... then the C128 and then the Amiga...

Not the commenter you asked but... I played Rapier Punch on the Vic20 and I can't remember anything else. I never knew anyone else with one so maybe not that popular?
