Crazy Comets, Commodore 64
Programmed by Simon Nicol, with music by Rob Hubbard, Crazy Comets is the beginning of Simon Nicol‘s preoccupation with the arcade game Mad Planets.
Crazy Comets was first published by Martech in 1985.
After Crazy Comets, Nicol then made Mega Apocalypse, and then Apocalypse II (which never got released). Each game a clone of Mad Planets, although with Nicol‘s own twist.

Montezuma’s Revenge, Commodore 64
Robert Jaeger‘s classic platform game, Montezuma’s Revenge, was released for the Commodore 64 in 1984, and I believe that Jaeger did the conversion himself, so the game is pretty much identical to the Atari 8-bit original. At least, in terms of presentation.
Vindicators, Commodore 64
Developed by Consult Ltd., for Domark, who published the game in 1988, Vindicators is a decent one or two-player simultaneous tank game, converted from the Atari arcade machine of the same name.
