Commodore rules

[WS78]

Share the good 'ol days of the C64 and the later Amiga series.

Remember those data cassettes?
I still think of that old strategy game "North vs South", partly based on the French comic "blue shirts" (if translated correctly)

I got the C64 at a time before there were disk drives. Tape drives only baby. There were no programs for it and only 3 cassettes: Radar rat race, Lunar lander, and ????. Used it for a good 12 years until finally it was time to retire.

Wasted way to much time on Telengard, Ultima, and Questron. It was good at the time I got it, it taught me how to program, since there wasn't much else you can do with it.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane

They used to call it the breadboard here.I was more of a spectrum fan myself.Any self respecting computer fan realised that rubber keys were the way to go.

I had 2 commodore 64's when I was younger, towards the end of their popularity.

Speedball, F-29 Retaliator, Spindizzy World, Eye of the Beholder, Populous, and hundred more...

Oh my, so many hours spent on these old games ^^

Nostalgia...

First time I loaded Vice City, it was cool to see the Commodore interface at the beginning, and the cheesy 8-bit music....

I had an atari 800xl myself. Buddy of mine had a commodore. Ahh...the memories.

I had 2 of them.
I played Bard's Tale on that thing for hours, eventually killing both of them.

I have an old C64 up in the attic, with the cassette drive and all. I also used to play my friends amiga. Some of those old games were really good. Back then graphics were so pathetic they had to rely on decent gameplay to make the game. The opposite seems to be true today with a lot of games.

I have a complete C64 set, minus the scart cable, and an Amiga 500.

Got a few tapes with games for the 64, and Lemmings for the Amiga on floppy.

I "inhereted" both these a few years back, btw, since I was way too little to play with computers back then. :\

I have a C64 and a C16*, complete with loads of software.

The C16 no longer worky. It was my primary computer when I was *yay* big, and I reprogrammed the console thingy (I forgot what they call it now) ... anyway, it stopped working!

The C64 had a couple of 5.25 inch floppy drives, and there's several boxes of those disks packed with games and office stuff.

A year or so ago I saw a BBS (like vBulletin) powered by a C64. Min. requirements were 2x disk drives for storing the messages. I never had a modem for my commodores, and never networked them.

I never had a console (i.e. Nintendo) when I was young, because my parents didn't think they were very educational... so those Commodores were the proxies.

Also, I have a pair of Macintosh LC
