It's the plethora of original games like "School Daze" that make the C64 a retro-discovery zone even today. The creativity in games of this type is just fantastic. It's a little sad that computer games today, while amazing, often do not reach the levels of originality and innovation (short of graphics and sound) that made so many of the older games so wonderful. "School Daze" is a good one. It could be called a sim game I guess, it's got aspects of more modern sim type games, but it's classified as an Arcade game, I suppose because it's game play is arcade style. "School Daze" is actually much more complicated than it looks and rather than re-invent the wheel, I'll just direct you to the wikipedia article I found about it so if you're interested you can investigate the game in more detail. To summarize, you're a bad kid who needs to steal his report card. You need to avoid getting in trouble and interact with various teachers and other students while you play. If you read about it on wikipedia, you will find that it was created by and actual teacher. Anyhow, check it out, read about it, and there were some sequels to it if you want to go further into the realm of school sim games.
