The Commodore 64 had lots of games. Not all of them are good. In Zapped to the Past, we cast a retrospective eye over those games reviewed in each issue of Zzap!64 magazine. Hosted by two lifelong C64 fans, we throw off those rose tinted specs and see if those games are still worth playing today.

Customer Reviews
Unfortunately our best
In an ideal world, these two trashing games which require either imagination, reading or (God forbid!) a manual, or which don’t fit the narrow range of games they breathlessly remind the listener they encourage their students to create, would just be the middle of the pack of Commodore 64 podcast media. But for production value, variety (despite skipping so many games which require reading!), and consistency, they’re the best of a shallow pool. Hope you like scatological references!
