   Here's some of the more interesting titles in my collection:
   
   1. Manos: the Hands of Fate
   2. Macbat 64
   3. Duke Nukem Forever (this one has a personal story)
   4. Final Fantasy VII (the PC port)
   5. Slipstream 5000
   6. Super Mario Bros (C64 port)
   7. MegaRace 1
   8. Goat Simulator
   9. Hotline Miami
   10. Always Sometimes Monsters
   
   Of all the games I own, these are the most memorable. Not saying all of them are good, but I'll never forget them.

     Some of the games I own, though, are incredibly bad. For example, this one.
     
     I bought it because I wanted a cheap VR game... and it was called BUTTS.
     
     Regretfully, I bought it with real money.

     @atomicpoet@calckey.social I see! Watching some videos online, this was quite an achievement.
     
     Great Giana Sisters, yeah, that must be my memory. #C64

     @atomicpoet@calckey.social I have a distinct memory of playing Super Mario Bros on a C64 at a friend's house in he '80s, but I've never found more information on it. I had convinced myself that it was actually Giant Giana Sisters, but now you've given me hope.
     
     I have a Donkey Kong port to C64, but I don't know it's providence either. #C64

     @WindFish@easymode.im It was most likely the Great Giana Sisters.
     
     But there was a port for C64 that was released within the last 5 years. I downloaded it as soon as it was available because I knew Nintendo wanted to kill it.

     Genuinely surprised to learn that the film Manos The Hands of Fate has spawned a tie-in franchise

     @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social It’s a platformer. And compared to the movie, it’s surprisingly good!
