50 Commodores
-
C64 was my introduction to computers back in the day. I spent hours and hours every day on that thing. We had so many games that I could play for 12 hours straight and never get bored. Fantastic machine. I think my parents still have it in the basement somewhere. It works but the diskdrive is getting a bit flaky - and besides, most of the games were on 5 1/2" floppys that have all gone to shit too. Shame - it was a kickass machine to have as a kid.
I've tried the emulators too but they never really work.Comment

cool to see how many ppl got a c64, i started with a ti99/4a as well got it for xmas from my folks, took it along on holiday to germany and wrote the first slotmachine prg there was here in holland, sold it made an xray version even, i got a playmate poster and draw the outlines and "digitised" it, that is i took a piece of maths paper 8x8 and colored each block black and made the strings in the machines then put it all together my friends were amazed and all bought the prg hehe...
got a c64 after that went to berlin on schooltrip bought a viddigitiser there for $300 (a lot then) and got a friend with a HUGE vidcam from his dad, took all my playboys and digitised the pics sold them on disks to germany austria holland anywhere i got like $500 a month so i started a BBS as well hehe... half duplex 1 tel line my dad went insane when the phone rang at 3am hahaha cool to see how many ppl did the same

I bought a c64 when it first came out, or a few months after, $595 plus $70 for the tape drive. I loved that fucker. Over time, bought two of those big clunky 51/2" floppy drives, 300 and 1200 modems, mouse, printers and other accessories. I was pretty computerized, for the time.
Then I got given a 286 with a ten meg hard drive, and thought I was in heaven.
Later I became sysop for a two line BBS with waffle and usenet, kinda rare for it's time.
But I started with the c64, and it will always have a place in my memory.Comment

We also had a VIC-20 and then the C-64. Danny started a single line BBS on the 64 around 1987 too
The first computer we had was a TRS-80 Model 1 from Radio Shack in 1980. We had the 4K unit, 4 kilobytes of blazing RAM!
We also still have our Atari 800, Atari ST, and the Coleco Adam (if anyone remembers those). Our storage room in the basement is a museum of old computers. Everything from an old IBM XT that had 2 floppy's and no hard drive, and up!

I have a picture of me at 9yrs old sound asleep with my hands on the keyboard of my C64.
I remember when we got a floppy drive - WHOA that was fast! Loaded up Frogger twice as fast as my tape drive did, I was in heaven!
Note - this was back when floppies were *really* floppy, you could bend 'em in half and they'd still work - on both sides, even.Comment

Yeah, i remember...
if you want some working c64 just get one at ebay for about 10 bucks...Statistically, 5 out of 6 people enjoy Russian Roulette.Comment

The "tape drive" for those not old enough was a "cassette tape" just like the one with your radio. ; )Comment

had a 64 then 128
Then got an Amiga 500, then Bodega bay and a 33mhz accelerator card, more memory and eventually ended up running a 6 line BBS on it (Cnet Amiga software) that made the Boardwatch top 100 back in '93
Graduated to a 486 machine and the rest is history
All the best to you

This thread is bringing back serious memories.
Wow. Port Royal BBS was my home on the modem lines.
I ran a bbs called SplitInfinity, which is obviously still the name I use
today for my hosting company. :-) Lots of history behind that name
with me.
I started with a Commodore PET CBM machine, tape drive and dot matrix printer.
My school (Pine Valley in San Ramon, CA area) allowed students to rent the computers to take home for the weekend. I did that and ended up never leaving
the house on the weekends, just sat around programming.
poke this peek that. Lots of fun!
Tape Drives suck. Those are a bad memory.
Then I had these computers...
TRS80
Timex Sinclair (hahahah)
Apple II
Applie IIe
Commodore Vic-20
Commodore C-64
Commodore C-64 Portable OH MY GOD WAS THIS HUGE AND HEAVY
Apple IIgs
Apple III
Applie Mac
Ibm 8086 style....
Ibm 286, 386, 486, and up.....
Ran a BBS on Apple IIgs using GBBS software (Rocks!)
Used to program it with "ACOS" the All Communications Operating System
that Greg programed. Very cool. It was like a perl language to make BBS's.
My computer of choice ended up being Macintosh,
however my unix background keeps me tied to unix (linux) because
I love programming on that platform.
I use a dual G5 mac today with 4 monitors (20" each) and mac osx,
which is a developers dream OS because it is based on unix.
Woohoo!

I had a C64 in 1985 when everyone else had the crummy Vic 20 - I always used to cuss them for it. Ohhh man some of those games beat modern PC games hands down....
Boulderdash
Spy Vs Spy I & II (probably my all time favourites)
Booty
The Last V8
Bruce Lee (the green sumo guy in that game was hilarious)
Forbidden Forest
F-15 Strike Eagle (the best c64 flight simulator)
Hardball
Jupiter Lander (everyone hated this game but I loved it)
I can barely remember some of the best ones..... but in those days the gameplay was really enhanced by having a good tape cover. If the tape cover was good you somehow enjoyed the game even more.... haha"In a Time of Universal Deceit, Telling the Truth is a Revolutionary Act." - George OrwellComment

Oh how I loved our C64. I was in 3rd grade when I got one for Christmas.
I had TONS of favorite games. Here are a few I remember really well:
M.U.L.E. (NUMBER ONE! YEAH!)
Impossible Mission
Radar Rat Race (First game we ever bought for it... it was on cartridge!)
G.O.R.F. (educational)
Infiltrator
Legacy of the Ancients
Summer Games (all of them)
Winter Games
Jumpman Jr.
Giana Sisters (a ripoff of Mario Brothers)
Beachhead
Boulderdash
Bard's Tale
ZORK, Suspended... and all the Infocom games.
And I really, really loved the Christmas Demo. We played it every Christmas for several years.
And S.A.M. rocked! I loved it when my dad made him talk to me. He used to make me cry by making the computer say it was working so hard to let me play games all day that it was dying. Oh lord, I don't know how he managed to fool me every time!
I've had the emulator for a while. I need to find time to play some of the games again.

I had the 64/128...it had two modes...although I spent more time in 64 than in 128...big ups to tahoebbs, high sierra bbs, and wayhighbbs...
What was that game that was so popular, spacetrader 2000...space something? You mined resources, built planets space stations and set up defences and trade routes...
It was all about hitting a macro key for about 30 minutes straight before school...OWNAGE!Insert Value Here.Comment
