About
the vinny club on myspace


I am a cybernetically enhanced human being. I have a SID chip for a heart and two tape decks for eyes. And a zip stick in my pants. Aside from my modifications, I can feel and love just as you unmodifieds can. Basically I'm the same as you, except I am completely invincible and I shoot laser beams. It's pretty cool.





My favourite games include:

Bruce Lee, Nexus, Cliffhanger, Law of the West, IK+, the Great Escape, Samurai Warrior - The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo, Syndicate Wars, and Ico.

Here are the 12 most bad ass C64 covers ever, as voted for by a panel of me me me.





12. Danger Freak




Never, ever, EVER mess with a badly drawn kite flying giant with a shark cock.



11. 1994 - Ten Years After





I predict that by the year 1994 t-shirts and hair will be illegal and we will be ruled by a cyber falcon who records our thoughts with tape recorders up to five or six hundred times bigger and more powerful than the ones we have today.



10. Skateboard Joust




I have a backwards cap, sunglasses and ripped jeans. I also ride an enormous yellow skateboard with DEATH written on it. Beat me up.




9. Road Raider





Mad Max with George Michael as Max? Uwe Boll take note.





8. IK+





Wow, so Steven Seagal is in this game?


"Well...no. It's a funny story actually. We lied. Sorry about that."




7. Majik





Wait, so is Donald Sutherland actually in this game then?

"This one was a total accident!! Who am I kidding. We lied about that one too! Ha ha."




6. Wall$treet





LETS MAKE A REALLY BORING GAME LOOK ULTRA FUN PACKED




5. Jumpman





Behold, the jumping white man. Take that, Wesley Snipes!




4. Logo





Hey...this one is actually pretty cool.




3. Oxxonian





Pyramids? Check. Cadillac? Check. Shit imitation droids? Double Check.




2. The Sydney Affair





A game about a sniper so highly trained he can kill you from INSIDE HIS OWN GUN.




1. Hysteria





Every single night, just before I fall sleep, I utter a silent prayer to the Lord above that when I awake I will find myself within the magical world depicted on this cover. Someday he will grant me my wish. And when he does...lock up your centaurs. Shit is gonna get ugly.

Pretty cool covers.
lawl..

this post is full of win. that wall street one is pretty good, and the one with the ripoff droids..lol.
Yeah, but are Chuck Norris and Jen Claude Van Schwarzenegger in IK+? or are those also lies?
Has anyone actually played any of those?
lulz those are solid gold

even david bowie thinks so

I've only played IK+ and Danger Freak...Danger Freak is a complete donkey, whereas IK+ is amazing to this day. Rule of thumb on the C64 seemed to be the more elaborate the box art, the stinkier the turd within.
@ Agent Moo

Creepy fact - Graffiti Man was in the top 12 until I saw The Sydney Affair..It's trippy.
haha, 1994 makes me laugh.
I bought over 300 C64 games back in the day. I've never seen any of these before.

Thank you. My life is better now than it was before I saw this post.
Wallstreet almost looks like something out of a Gmod machinima. Hysteria gives me nightmares...the awkward everybody naked kind of nightmares.
I don't even know what a C64 is or looks like. I'm that young. And for that, I am happy.
I would've bought Wall Street.
lol

Just, lol
man i wish todays game box art was as badass as this, imagine a halo or mario game with a cover as awesome as the wall$treet one.

also £1.99 for skateboard joust...that is a fucking bargain!
Genius, bring back the air brush.
