Surprised no one has mentioned...

Dino Eggs (C64)

Blagger (C64)

Hard Hat Mack (C64)

Mission Elevator (C64)

or

Cohen's Towers (C64)

Next to the SNES the C64 was the greatest computer ever for platform games...

Its one of the first games i played to death. Brilliant fun!

Atarisoft had the liscense and it was transferred to the C64 (and many other formats) , the game was complete and ready to be released in 1985 (you can find the release on lemon i guess, and there excists orgignal boxed copies of the game too) which was then pulled back , a new team named Ocean Software reaqquired the liscense and developed and published in 1986, the gameplay is the same but there are various graphical and other differences (and developed by a different team).

note..this is how i remember it so i might be wrong but i used to be a huge collector of boxed material on the c64 for over 2 decades and then sold it and will regret that for the rest of my life... glad i still have my Amiga collection tho

Otherwise, I'm not even sure just what a "platform game" would be.

A couple of years ago it was the ability to remain upright while walking.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

We (me and my brother) later enjoyed titles like Gods, Chaos Engine or Lionheart.

Chaos Engine seems to be a big topic today.

But from what I have read, it is essentially the Amiga game with a wrapper around it, some graphical enhancements (one being 16 way movements over the originals 8), and additional save points/checkpoints to dumb it down for today's gamers who can't deal with anything remotely difficult.

There has been a lot of press about this, recently posted today:

Zorgon's revenge

and

Damsel in Distress

Although I was a teenager rather than a kid.

DiD was pretty much impossible to complete - hardest game ever.

Well I have still put it on my steam wish list - can do a co-op with my brother if we both get it, and it is reasonably priced at around £6.

We completed the original Amiga version as a co-op team, so the new outing could be a trip down memory lane

Donkey Kong was likely the first I ever knew, and the only one that impressed me. This was before I knew one bit about computers or "tv games". With computers, platformers didn't grasp my attention in the way some other stuff did.

The longer I live the more overrated I think Nintendo are. Yes, by all means buy a new 2DS for your 6 year old for Christmas but anyone who thinks Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Kart or Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time have never been bettered in their respective genres have been asleep for the past 15-25 years!

Super Frog was great fun as was Great Giana Sisters but I really like the look of Rayman Legends and would probably concede that just as Metal Slug was a better game than Robocop, things change and games are in many ways still getting better. Super Frog will always have a special place in my heart and I'll always dig the CD32 version out for a Lucozade hit every so often but Donkey Kong?! Jumping over barrels to get to a princess in a cage? Fun in it's day but hardly in the same league as Rainbow Islands or New Zealand Story!

Very much the past tense for DK. I didn't even play it more than a few times.

Fair enough. If that was your favourite platform game as a kid then that was your favourite platform game. 'Nuff said.
