I'll watch 8bit-guy take it apart. Then I will forgot this ever existed.

They're gone now but my older bro had a Vic20 and a C64 back in the day. Loved me some Scare City Motel.

I liked your post for the first sentence and am making a post to express my disgust at your last sentence.
-
The Euro early PC wars were savage as fuck and the SEGA vs Nintendo thing almost felt like Europe vs Rest of the World lmao
-
I replayed my C64 collection a few years ago and the few games that hold up decently have better versions on other systems. I rather not play anything older than a NES.
-
Nu-age Niccas have no idea that Playstation vs Xbox war has NOTHING on the war between C64 and Atari 65XL in Poland in the late 80s. Dat shit was a bloodbath.
It was all about Nintendo vs. Sega back then! :wag
-
C64 was great, even though a lot of games were shitty ports.
Eat shit Atari fegs :sabu
-
I love my memories about my c64. So, I'll choose to keep them exactly as that.
I don't really need to re-live playing games like Legacy of the Ancients, Karateka or Superstar Ice Hockey again.
-
Never really got into the C64, due to the load times on the original hardware... what's worth playing? The Ultima ports were pretty good, right?

The only old-school computer I have any experience with is an Apple IIe, because that's what my school had when I was a young lad. Mystery House was the GOAT.

I had some friends that had Commodore Vic 20, 64, 128, Amiga but my first computer was a Laser 128 (Apple II clone). A lot of cool games for it. My favorite was Gemstone Warrior, kind of a randomized timed dungeon game combined with "dual stick" (via the keyboard) shooting mechanics.

I like both 8-bit Atari and C64.
The best thing about the 8-bit Ataris was the color palette/resolution.

256 colors!

I got one of the minis from Marshall's for $10, The selection of games is underwhelming but I can play hacky sack in California Games again.

>C64 vs Atari
>In an age of NES vs MasterSystem/Megadrive.
:yikes I didn't realize Poland was that poor.
More seriously: If you can't program games on this...

If you can reset this fucker with a paperclip and then PEEK and POKE stuff, I'm definitely up for it. Maybe I'll finally finish Reckless Rufus.

I've been playing my C64 Mini more. "Hacking" it basically involves getting a new firmware file and putting it (along with the games you want to play) on a USB stick. I found some old 500MB stick (remember when that was a huge amount of memory?) and easily added about 300 games. I'm actually pretty interested in the version with a working keyboard. I forgot how many games used it to get around the joystick only having 1 button. Not to mention the RPGs. I'd like to replay the Bard's Tale trilogy at some point.
