The Commodore 64 is the highest-selling single computer model of all time, a fact, that you are probably familiar with. But did you know, that a whopping 10000 commercial titles have been made for the machine? No?
Now, sit tight, there exist plenty more.
There are at least 17739 commercial and non-commercial pieces of software available for that machine. And at least 17739 of the 17739 are available today free of charge! 🎮
Thanks to the fine folks of archive.org you can not only download all those titles, you can play them right away, fullscreen in your browser. So you are up and running with Outrun, Choplifter or even newer titles like Super Mario Bros. 64 in seconds.
That all works thanks to a port of the VICE emulator to Javascript. And it works very well.
Hint: Every title comes with a .torrent Link, but if you check your browsers devtools, you’ll find a HTTP endpoint for the .d64 image.
Have fun!
