Crazy Comets (Mad Planets)
Bagitman (Bagman)
Radar Rat Race (Rally X)
Space Pilot (Time Pilot)
Jouste (Joust)
Jupiter Lander (Lunar Lander)
I did a video on my Youtube channel not long ago with pretty much every arcade conversion in there (apart from a couple I missed, being Solar Fox and Guerrilla War.....from what I know so far), and included those clones. Check it out if ya wanna at the link below

I know a few, a good one is:
- Bandits!
Although it's not exactly a clone of a particulair arcade game, this wonderful gem that Sirius released in 1983 combines many elements from famous arcade games, like: Space Invaders, Galaga, Satan's Hollow, Phoenix, Gorf, Centipede - even from a Atari 2600 game called Spider Fighter, but that's not the subject here.
Other interesting titles:
- Guzzler (Super Pac-Man)
- Mr. Dig (Mr. do!)
- Lady Tut (Lady Bug/Tutankham)
- Batty (Arkanoid)
- Avenger (Space Invaders)
- Eagle Empire (Phoenix)
... And many more, so I will have to check back on this one. _________________ Signs of 8 bit-Resurrection in the Commodore 64-Dimension |

There are more nice Joust clones available for the Commodore 64, namely:
- Duel (oldie from Pioneer Software, released in 1984, adds an interesting new factor to the game):
- DragonsDen (not exactly a Joust clone, but some elements are identical)
- Dragon Hawk (in this nice Joust clone you can scroll to left or right - great sound fx)
- Return of the Space Warriors or Alpha Warriors (one of them was better, don't know which one)
- Skateboard Joust (really weird and unusual Joust clone with nice graphics, but also pretty though):
- Pegasis (not the most fluent movement, but I like the Mythological theme)
- Lancer-Lord (looks primitive but movement is very smooth) _________________ Signs of 8 bit-Resurrection in the Commodore 64-Dimension |

Another really cool clone of Mad Planets:
- Mega Apocalypse (almost the same as Crazy Comets, a sequel? Really nice samples- fantastic shoot 'em up that rocks on the C=64)

I never played The Equilizer but I heard it was a pretty good Wonderboy clone. _________________ "Step one: Find plans. Step two: Save world. Step three: Get out of my house!" |

Although the famous arcade game Bubble Bobble was converted really well for the Commodore 64, there are also a few clones available that are not bad either:
- Blobber:
- Mad Springs:
- Bubble It:
