I'd totally buy that, but there's no contact info. Also, I'm too far away.

For those interested, keep an eye open on Ebay, as quite often you'll find boxed Commodore 64's (and VIC-20s) for less than $40.

I got a couple Amiga 500's in a box. They should still work too... I just need a monitor to hook them up to and regular VGA one's don't work with them.

I've still got a working one here, and like 5 boxes of 5 1/2 floppies of various games. It's been in a drawer for like 15 years...

Doesn't the Amiga have composite-out? The C-64/128 you could hook right up to a TV with an RF-modulator.

How about we all get one, I'll put up my old BBS, and everyone from ATOT can dial me up with their 1200 baud modems? Man how times have changed.

Hm... my buddy has a monitor or two in his garage that have some funky pinout I'm not familiar with. I wonder if that's what they're for?

Crap! I had to nearly take college algebra over when the original Civilization came out for that system... lol

True, but nothing compares to the real deal. ie. I have a Genesis emulator (KGen) but I still LOVE playing the old NHL games on my genuine Genesis! :D

that works, but everything is in B&W. There is a converter that will allow it to work with a regular vga monitor, aka this, but I haven't bought one. I don't even know if my Amiga works or not. I have a bunch of old games for it too, Defender of the Crown, It Came from the Desert, Shadow of the Beast...
