OK- who's getting a new Commodore C-64?

Yet they're not listed in your sig?

Well, I prefer them over a Netbook in a C64 case. But, time moves on

There's always WinUAE and CCS64 for when I feel nostalgic and don't feel like digging out an ancient computer.

Oh man, THAT was the day where you first had to type in the code the MLC Editor I got out of this book, THEN you had to code the game. I spent two weeks coding an airplane game on that damn thing

It was like manually typing in 1000 lines of code that looked like this:

4235: A123FF2 324404 B2345C3 4430001 A123FF2 324404 B2345C3

i can't believe I had that kind of patience as a 12 year old.

Just think, back then a magazine would have 3 or 4 high quality games in it, with the complete source code in the back for you to type in. I only ever completed one or two out of the 3-4 years worth of Computes Gazettes I had.

Let's not forget Adventure Construction Set. The graphics sucked but the game and concept rocked.

I can't remember the number of hours I lost making and playing that game with my brothers.

Just found the "sleeve" for the game.
