Commodore 64 Mastertronic Checklist

The Commodore 64 was the single biggest format covered by Mastertronic with games released on cassette and disk both in Europe and through their American subsidiary Mastertronic Inc. With titles being released from the company’s launch in April 1984, right through to the merger with Virgin and across all the different labels, there were only two of their labels that didn’t cover the C64 and these were based on re-releases.

As with our ZX Spectrum list, because of the sheer number of games released, we will be splitting this over a large number of pages and it will be split into labels as well. It will take time to complete this so please bear with us so we’ll be adding titles to this over time…

RICOCHET

Ricochet was Mastertronic’s first label dedicated to re-releases and covered games primarily from Martech, Ultimate, Virgin, Melbourne House and Activision. Four titles are currently missing and unknown from the range. However, we have been able to identify three of these for the Commodore 64 as they were moved to the main Mastertronic range, but don’t have what the planned numbers were for them.

MASTERTRONIC’S ADDED DIMENSION (M.A.D)

This was Mastertronic’s first spin-off label. The range, priced at £2.99, was intended to promote games of a higher quality than the regular £1.99 Mastertronic range. New styling was introduced with pop art style covers, with a new numbering system providing each game with its own unique number, even for different formats.

It only lasted for a short while, before being revised briefly as the “MADC” range for a secondary run of titles. Additional games were later released bearing the MAD branding (and also MAD X) but the final two uses of the name were incorporated into the main Mastertronic line. The name would later resurface when the company was relaunched by the Mastertronic Group.

Number	Title	Author	Sales	Cover Art
MAD 1	The Last V8	David Darling	60,536
MAD 1	The Last V8 (C64/Atari Disk)	David Darling	359
MAD 3	Hero Of The Golden Talisman	Shaun Southern	39,354
MAD 3	Hero Of The Golden Talisman (Disk)	Shaun Southern	366
MAD 5	Master Of Magic	Richard Darling	34,123
MAD 5	Master Of Magic (Disk)	Richard Darling, John Smyth (cover)
MAD 9	Spellbound	David Jones, Richard Darling	31,124
MAD 9	Five-A-Side Soccer	Ken Grant	14,792

As with most Mastertronic ranges, there are numbers where no games are known or are allocated to other formats so these are not included here.

MAD C

This was the second Mastertronic Added Dimension range and only ran for 8 releases before the label was absorbed into the main range. We believe that it was originally set up to re-release games from publisher Creative Sparks (hence the C in the prefix), but this changed after the first few releases.

Number	Title	Author	Sales	Cover Art
MADC 1	Countdown To Meltdown		28,135
MADC 3	Ice Palace		22,016
MADC 4	Hole In One		47,623
MADC 7	180		59,051

UTILITIES

Mastertronic released a small number of utilities although these were standalone titles and were separate to all of the other labels. All of these were re-releases from other publishers.

Notes

• There are a few gaps in every range where no games seem to be on record. This seems to be a common issue and we assume that this is where games were planned for release but were cancelled.
• Other gaps in the numbering are those that are used by games released on other platforms.
• There are also instances where there are multiple games released with the same number, or games were incorrectly numbered by Mastertronic’s design company Words And Pictures. This has resulted in additional gaps in the numbering that can be explained by games simply being “shifted” out of place.
• Sales figures for disk releases are for UK and Europe only and do not include sales for the rest of the world, where most copies would have been sold.

We will be expanding these lists continually over time with more games added to each, additional ranges, more details, cover art and links to reviews.
