"Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles"?

Gotta love EGA and all 16 colors.
Some of the best games ever made only needed 16.

I never had a Commodore 64, or even a VIC20. I was stuck with a ColecoVision ADAM. What a piece of shit that was.

I used to go to my friend's house and see all his free pirated software for his Commodore and be so pissed off because I had a stupid ADAM which had almost no software available for it.

:1orglaugh

The Commodore was so incredibly superior to it's competitors that it isn't even funny. 16 colors when IBM had 2 (black and green or amber.) Pc squeeker versus really nice multi-voice music and sound. Digitized speech! (remember Impossible Mission?)
S.A.M. (SoftwareAutomatedMouth) gave you text to speech with a 1Mhz cpu and 32K of usable ram.

If Jack Tramiel hadn't unknowingly borrowed money from an Israeli banking criminal. (Later went on to defraud others.) we would all be using Amigas right now.

If you compare IBMs to Amigas in 1986, it is laughable.

I am surprised nobody brought up all the cool C=64 porn that was made in this era! Here you go:

Get VICE or CCS and play the old games, the best games, again. I am going to play M.U.L.E. again right now.

How come that game hasn't been made for IBM? It was the most addictive thing ever.

Spoink!

That brings back a lot of memories if only todays programers would take advantage of what they got. The guys back then had very tight programming today they are sloppy...

This one really takes me back:

And impossible mission - I wish I had the sound effects...
"Stay awhile, stay FOREVER!!!!!"

The best emulator is CCS 64, get it at www.computerbrains.com
And to get your game fix, www.c64.com

My personal favorites:
Mission: Impossible
Hacker I & II
Raid over Moscow
Pitstop II
Commando
Green Beret / Rush'n Attack
Summer / Winter / World Games
Football Manager
Elite
Uridium
And so many more...

Best way to play: hook up your pc to a tv, get a nice playstation arcade stick and playstation -> usb adapter, it's like being in heaven :Graucho

I was about to get a Spectrum back in the day (which I greatly respect, the Ultimate games where awesome) but thanks god I discovered the C64... I learned 6510 assembler and even did some cracking and training in the day :glugglug

Spent so many sleepless nights in front of that fucker... I have to agree, most addictive game I've ever played, elite a close second...

50 sleepless nights playing football manager...

Damn I'm getting old, almost brought a tear to my eyes :thumbsup

You need Zak and Mansion in there. That stuff was classic point and click, way before Myst and its clones.

me too :)
Who made it to the 100th level in Bubble Bobble? :)

Damn.. those were the days...
I used to code games and had my own column in a c-64 magazine...
Was an awesome time :)

Yeah the c64 got a special place in my memories.

Anyone here from the demo/cracking scene ? I've been a member of these groups: cosmos, paramount and hitmen ( guys with the intros that come with a cracked game).

Jumpman and MULE were my favorite.

I also used to do a lot of Agent USA.

Ahh the good 'ol C64..

How is it that a 1.2mhz 8bit 6510 CPU with 64k of ram, is able to render 60 frames x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours per day.
5184000 frames per day.

And my 2.6ghz 64bit Pentium, with 512Mb of ram... can barely serve 1million pages?
