Just downloaded 'Runn n' Gunn'. On the link you shared it's a part of a $1 bundle (sale at the time of writing) with 'Grid Pix' and 'Millie and Molly'. Felt like a steal so had to add a dollar or two :)

What a good year for C64, a lot of quality games still coming out. Incredible. My favourite of the year has to be soulforce, am a huge shooter fan and soulforce is right up there with the best of the system. Still cant quite believe am buying c64 games in 2021.

Great overview and a nice bit of variety! No matter what style of game you like, there is something here for you. Kudos to Sarah, who will no doubt be pleased with your ranking :) Totally deserved too! Both Soul Force and Briley Witch Chronicles are exceptionally ambitious C64 games, released within a year's span and in completely different genres.

The game gave me hours of enjoyment (and a few moments of frustration!). Great gameplay, great graphics and great soundtrack. Because of games like this, I'm probably playing the C64 almost as much at age 43 as I was when I was at school. Will definitely check out Runn and Gunn :)

You can't compare between eras, it's apples and oranges. Back in the day, dev's worked under tight time pressures, typically having a month at best to finalize the code for a game. They didn't have the luxury of countless years to perfect a game in their spare time.

@@BastichB64K Metal Dust shouldn't be a Top Ten C64 shooter (although it's good for an honorable mention), as it's effectively only playable in Vice. Given that it requires SuperCPU and 4MB+ of RAM. This means you can't even play it on the Maxi. It's effectively just a PC game.

Thanks for the overview of these great 2021 titles. If you like graphical adventures then I would also like to mention 'Babylon's Ark' which is part of the 'Space Collection' by BOBR.games published in 2021. The collection consists of four new space related games (Babylon's Ark, Flying Saucers, Space Firehawk and Space Planters) and comes on a fantastic looking cartridge with blinking star lights. A few remaining cartridges will be made available for purchase by Protovision any time soon.

@@BastichB64K No, no... it's not a text adventure. You use the Joystick to move the protagonist around on a Space station and use the fire button to open dialogs and select your sentence to talk with the crew members. I think it is worth a closer look, if you liked the exploring part of Briley Witch Chronicles. Of the three other games two are action oriented and one is a puzzle game.

I've kinda felt that 2021 was a slow year for C64 (compared to the last few were we got epics like Metal Warrior Ultra, Sam's Journey etc) but in hindsight there are some great games. This years highlights for me were 'Nixy the Glade Spirit', 'Lost Realms of Murkasada', 'Monstro Giganto' and 'Tiny Quest'. Still want to get 'Soul Force', 'Briley Witch Chronicles' and 'Runn n' Gunn'. 'Rogue64' might make it out in December but it'll be 2022 before I get to look at it.

The system had everything that any other 8-bit pc or home gaming system had and more, with the exception perhaps of native support for only 1 action button (as opposed to NES) and what looks like a challenging color palette 🎨. But the SID and the sheer unending variety of games more than made up for those issues imho.
