Have you yet tried Puzzle Bobble, the fan made port of the Neo Geo title from the 90s? In Europe and North America the original game is better known as Bust-a-Move. The recently released C64 version shines out with excellent presentation and high playability. It can be played alone or with a friend simultaneously, features Paddles support and comes with a high score saver.
Make sure you get Version 1.1!
