History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64
History of gaming platforms- C64
Being an older gamer, one of my favorite systems of all time was my C64. At the time I had an Atari, and soon a Colecovision, but nothing compared to my C64 where I could play more complex, more fun, more entertaining games, and even write my own games once I got my Commodore 1541 single sided floppy disk drive. The article was a great way to remember my first comp, and one of my favorite gaming machines.

Re: History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64
Awesome - one of my first games for the c64 was Carnival, quickly followed up by Gateway to Apshai (which I thought was brilliant on a cartridge - no more L(shift)O"*",8,1
Games with laughable (in today's world at least) graphics, with budgets in the hundreds of $'s that still destroy 90% of today's RTS or FPS in terms of enjoyment... Anything that EA did back in the day was gold.

Re: History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64
I have a Commodore 64 in its original box sitting in my garage as we speak. Any buyers? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And yes there were some great great games on that computer. Neuromancer was probably my all time fave followed by Wasteland. Please dont ask how many pages of graph paper I went through playing the Bard's Tale games...

My disk drive broke on mine. Also, can you hook it up to any current monitor/television or do you need a Commodore specific monitor?

Re: History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64
LB,
I'll check the box but if you remember, you could hook it up to a TV with those little screw connections for antenna inputs. So if you can find a TV like that, you should be in luck. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Just browse some C64 boards and you should be able to figure out your options. As for price, PM me what you think is a fair price and I imagine that will be good enough for me.

That would be awesome if they had a resurection in the PC world. Perhaps a new line of retro C64 looking laptops/cell phones/MP3 players

Re: History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64
God that brings back the memories. I remember buying the mags then typing all that code into the machine in order to play a free game or app or something. I couldn't afford the sweet 1541 so i just left the system on all the time so I didn't lose any data.
My buddies and I would play Summer Games and Winter Games 24/7 and i remember having a disc-cracker that let me put my "cracked by The Juggler" before I gave copies to all my buddies. Another one of my buddies had a Vic 20 with the tape drive, it would take like an hour to load anything. Load"summer",8,1
