[surfsatwerk]

OMG can it run Lode Runner?

 

[swanysto]

Didn't Broderbund make "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego"?

 

[Fritzo]

Screw that, I want BOULDERDASH!!!

 

[rivan]

Win!

 

[Newbian]

Can it run crysis?

 

[alkemyst]

Apple //e or die!!!!

 

[soulcougher73]

I want to play Magic Candle again

 

[ScoobMaster]

If it can do Raid on Bungeling Bay, I'm in!

 

[rivan]

Haha, fast load chrome tape!

Raid on Bungeling Bay was a great game. I think by the time I got it, I'd moved up to disk drive, though.

I wonder if it'll come with accessories, like the amazing 300 baud modem?

I prefer my original two C64's, the VIC20, and my Amiga 500 and 1200.

Yet they're not listed in your sig?

 

[Wyndru]

Buying games is for noobs. Real c64'ers buy the game books and write the code themselves.

 

[wheresmybacon]

There was a store where I grew up that would RENT games. LOL. Once I found that place I never bought another game for my C64.

 

[Ika]

man, Lode Runner was the BEST.

 

[Koing]

Screw that, I want BOULDERDASH!!!

I remember playing that

The games were on tapes and were taking 30-35mins to load!

I had california games also!

I had to play these things until about 1989 when I finally got a Nintendo

 

[soulcougher73]

Anyone remember Ultimate Wizard? That game was the shit. You could make your own mazes and traps etc.

Or Archon. Unicorn FTW

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I loved this game!

C64s rocked. Best games ever.

 

[NinjaTech]

TRS-80 for the win!

"Commodore PC64, an Intel Atom-powered PC featuring 4GB DDR3 memory, SATA 1TB HDD, HDMI output, optical drive (either DVD/CD or optional Blu-ray), and more -- all in "an exact replica" of the original beige C64 chassis. Of course, doing any significant amount of work with the original Commodore keyboard will probably be a challenge, but we like to think we're up to it. As always, we'll believe it when we see it, but in the meantime we'd like to be the first to formally request a review unit. If everything goes according to plan, this bad boy should be out in time for the holidays."

I may get one just for the fun of it.

I miss those days. That's when computers were exciting. Wow! the new C64 has 320x200 resolution! Holy crap! check out the SID chip! That's like having a 3 channel synthesizer in your computer! Oh and 64K RAM! You couldn't possibly use that much memory.

Now it's 3280X2048 resolution - Meh. 6 Gigs of RAM! - big deal. I guess Moore's law has jaded us.

I remember being blown away when I got to work on a Cray XMP as an intern...OK, I guess I'd still be blown away if I got to work on a modern super computer...or would I?

 

[Homerboy]

I was a Vic20 kid myself. Then Amiga500
Oh the Amiga.... the places we went!

 

[dfuze]

Not me, still have a C128 in the basement. Still have 6 containers of 5.25" floppies too.

 

[rivan]

Hahahah, Space Taxi!

I miss my C64
