Quote:The Internet Archive is on a roll. After adding more than a 1000 arcade games earlier this month, it has now created a new library for the =emulator%3Avice-resid&and[]=collection%3A%22softwarelibrary_c64_games%22]Commodore C-64 featuring more than 15,000 disk images that users can load using emulation right on the Internet Archive website.

Classified as software, interested users find C-64 games, applications, and demo scene releases added all together in the collection.
The emulator that the Internet Archive uses is Vice, the Versatile Commodore Emulator, that is also available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Android, and other operating systems

As far as games are concerned, the archive seems to have most of the popular ones and lots of games that even veteran C-64 games may have never heard about.

To name just a few: Airborne Ranger, The Last Ninja, Bubble Bobble, Castle Wolfenstein, Zak McKraken, Maniac Mansion, Burger Time, The Bard's Tale, Sim City, Summer Games, Little Computer People, Elevator Action, Boulder Dash, or M.U.L.E.

Tip: you can also play Classic DOS games and Console games on the Internet Archive website.
