      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.

        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.

                    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.

                          I remember my brother phoning me because he had just got a 10 MEGABYTE HARD DRIVE ... lol

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

                                  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

                                    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!

                                    Hey you need a web host? Ring me up.

                                                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....

                                                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

                                                      Oh hell yeah. The Bards Tale series was great. Same with Ultima IV.

                                                      Man those were the good ole days. I use to do my homework on my lunch at school so I could come home play outside till it got dark and then come in and bust a move on the computer till I had to hit the sack!

                                                      Oh if we could only get off work at 2:30 and have the afternoon to ourselves! ahhaha

                                                            I remember something like..

                                                            I cannot remember much more then that..lol

                                                            I use to make my stupid computers ask me
                                                            questions that I can only answer what I programmed it
                                                            to say..

                                                              I even had a "light pen" for it at some point..

                                                                      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.
