I used to stay off school to play my Commodore 64. Lost count the amount of times i used to play Stunt Car Racer and Microprose Soccer. Definitely the best.

Stunt car racer was an amiga game...

And a Arcade game also.

Go to C64.com - We adore our Commodore 64's and search the games. You can download it to run on an emulator like winVice which runs exactly like a C64. That's what I did years after I sold my 64 and wanted to get all the old games I had.

 

[Neal R19]

woop, they have Action Biker!

 

[The T.I.B.]

stunt car racer was on the Acorn Archimedes too. But microprose soccer was amazing, ultimate playability!

[Peter T]

Got it loading now. Made up a Drive B cable, for a 720K disk drive, which is very hard to find with all the 1.44mb ones about.

 

[bidderman1969]

goot an original atari console somewhere

 

[Peter T]

Just hacked apart a old Floppy drive cable, shorted out the pin, that need shorting out, to send the drive ready singal to the Speccy, So now it working with a Pc's 1.44MB disk, but in 720K mode, and formated down to 178k, the speccy format. just got to wire up pins 3/4 to a switch to pick which side of the disk I want to use. And then sort out a power suplly with 12 and 5 volt leads.
