From what I can tell, there is a torrent link that contains the files for each game. You'd also need an emulation software on your computer/ device to play each game.

Follow the link to the Internet Archive, where you can load the actual games using the built-in emulator.  The problem is, most games require a joystick and I haven't figured out how to map any keyboard keys to the C-64 joystick ports.

Antimicro will fix that.

There's a tutorial on YouTube to set it up.
Look up antimicro and c64 tutorial
Works a treat will all old school computer emulators
