A downloadable game

These are C64 BASIC games I wrote as a teenager in the 1980's.  They're slow, glitchy, and barely playable.  But if there's any interest, maybe I'll rework some of these using a more advanced language.  Please let me know in the comments which of these, if any, should be revisited.

BOUNCY BALL 
My first attempt at what could be called a game. Uses joystick in port 2. Try to place blocks in the ball's path to score points.

LOST MAZE 
Text adventure/maze game. Complete.

AMAZING MAZE 
Graphical maze game, player controls animated sprite character. Uses joystick in port 2. Mostly complete.

CHOPPER RAID 
Unfinished horizontally scrolling shooter, similar to Activision's Chopper Attack.

D&D 
Simple dungeon crawler, uses custom characters. Uses joystick in port 2. Load & run "D&D", then follow the prompts. Complete.

DEFLECTION 
Breakout-style game. Uses joystick in port 2. Complete.

PLANET DEFENDER 
Invaders from space are attacking the planet. If they blast a hole in the ground, patch it by moving your ship over the hole. Uses joystick in port 2. Complete.
