I'm a big fan of cave crawler or gravity style games, where you're flying a ship through caves or in a gravity style play field, and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for the C64 to try out on the maxi. I'm referring to games such as Fort Apocalypse, Thrust, Space Taxi, and Lunar (Jupiter? Neptune? always confuse the name) Lander for the 64. There's a new (remake?) of a game for the C64 that looks fantastic which I think is called lunar, Jupiter, or Neptune lander or something like that. Saw a YouTube review of it a few months back but can't remember the name. Does anybody know what the name is? I want to get it for the Maxi. Also would like to hear any other game suggestions you might have.
One of my favorite games from the arcade is Gravitar, which features vector graphics. It's so nice to be able to play it in Mame my Retropie setup. Probably the ultimate gravity style game ever made. If you haven't played it give it a try. I'd love to find an original gravitar arcade cabinet but unfortunately I hear most were converted to another game back in the day because the general public found it too hard to play.
As a sidenote, the new Atari dual joystick tabletop controller has some nice graphics on it that remind me of that game. Btw that controller is a pretty good deal at around $100 at microcenter, and they have a fairly low priced spinner you can add to it easily too. I had a X-Arcade Tank Stick which was nice but for the cheaper price I think I'll pick up the atari next time.
