For context, this had been sitting in my history teacher's loft for years, he gave it to me, it works fully (after getting a new psu for it!) It also came with quite a few games.

I am intrigued by the duffle bag it came in, I haven't seen any exact matches anywhere, so I have no idea what year its from, or it's worth.

Thought you guys would be interested (in my first actual post, no less!) (Questions welcome! :D)
 
Questions time would be "What C64 games have you got?" :)
 
First off Welcome to Amibay :check: :boing:

Secondly, you are very lucky to be given such a thing. You mention your History Teacher was the owner. So I’m guessing you are from a younger generation?
Anyways, 64’s was a machine I wasn't lucky enough to own back in the 80’s (First Machine in ‘82 was the Vic-20).
But now lucky enough to own a C128D which was the 8bit successor to the 64.
 
You're intrigued by the duffle bag? It's a magical time-travel portal...a portable portal. Prototype SX-64?

What a lovely setup. What a lovely kit! Hardware, software, reading material, you've got all the accessories. I have a real soft spot for cool accessories. Everyone here wants that duffle bag, but you're Dat1guy who has it. :-)

Oh, I could list on and on! A few I can mention is top gun, leader board, ghost busters, commando, formula 1 simulator, wing commander, international soccer, and that's just a few of them, so I sure won't be getting bored XD
 
There is too many lists on what C64 you should get.

Turrican , Turrican 2(out of this world and must play it!), internation karate +(u start as white belt then you work way up as it get harder when you earn each belt and black belt is really hard!) , Armalyte(Music title alone is worth listening!!! and not easy game!)

Brilliant machine, my third computer and the best 8 bit machine.
