As we now have two very good C64 emulators for the PSP I thought I would do a list of some of the best games, in my opinion, that you all should try.
The Pyramid by Fantasy Software.
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/pyramid_02.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/pyramid_04.gif
The idea of this game was that you started at the top of the pyramid and had to make your way down to the bottom by catching diamonds that would unlock doors.
This game starts of quite easy but soon gets very hard, a must try.
Lightforce by FTL
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/lightforce_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/lightforce_03.gif
This is a vertical shoot em up. The only thing that lets this game down is that it is quite short, but on the up side it has some of the best music you will hear on the C64.
Motor Mania by UMI

http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/motor_mania_02.gif
This is a top down racer where you drive on and off road. The graphics are very basic but the gameplay just grabs you.
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/china_miner_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/china_miner_02.gif
This was the C64 answer to Manic Miner. Although probably not as good it still has 30 levels of gameplay which will take you an age to complete.
Percy The Potty Pigeon by Gremlin
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/potty_pigeon_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/potty_pigeon_03.gif
The idea of this game is to collect the twigs off the road while avoiding the cars so that you can build your nest. If the cars got in the way you could always crap on them! This has some very good graphics and also very good music.
Hunchback by Ocean
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/hunchback_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/hunchback_03.gif
The idea of this game was to make it along the castle wall avoiding all the arrows and pitfalls so you could rescue the girl.
Nebulas by Hewson
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/nebulus_02.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/nebulus_03.gif
The idea of this game was to make it to the top of the tower while avoiding all the creatures. The only complaint I have about this is when you fall down you have to start again right at the bottom.
I Ball by Firebird
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/i-ball_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/i-ball_02.gif
You will either love this or hate it. Its a vertical shooter with a difference. It has 16 levels of action where you can upgrade your weapons. The controls can be a bit frustrating but the great speech and music make up for this.
Encounter by Novagen
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/encounter_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/encounter_03.gif
This is a 3d shooter that moves at some incredible speed. The pictures do not do this game any justice. Created by the same person who made Mercenary.
Dropzone by US Gold
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/dropzone_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/dropzone_02.gif
You may know this game from the Snes Version, but the C64 original is a million times better. Fast horizontal shoot em up which just ooozes gameplay.
Falcon Patrol 2 by Virgin Games
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/falcon_patrol_ii_01.gif
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/falcon_patrol_ii_02.gif
This is a bit like Defender but set in the Middle East. The controls do take a bit of getting use to but is definatly worth it.
Split Personalites by Domark
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/split_personalities_03.gif
This was a great puzzler. The idea of the game was to make the picture of the personality before the time would run out while also trying to avoid bombs. Excellent gameplay.
Tales Of The Arabian Knights by Interceptor Software
http://62.168.142.47/~lemon/games/screenshots/full/tales_of_the_arabian_nights_03.gif
This game is worth trying just so you can listen to the speech, brilliant.
There are a lot more like Impossible Mission, IK+, Summer Games, Commando, Bruce Lee.
Give them a try.
The Pyramid by Fantasy Software.
