Return of the Commodore 64!

[FuryNSX]

Commodore 64 comes back!!

Pretty cool for us "40+" old-timers. If I had some money to play with, I'd think about getting one just for that warm and fuzzy nostalgic feeling.

Larry bird vs Dr J on the 64 was the reason I almost failed the 7th grade!

Is this some sort of video game? :tongue:

I've got two, brand new in the box, Vic-20s in the attic....Could do an upgrade to em???

I remember when I had my VIC-20, with its whopping 3.5K of ram and the 16K expander cartridge was the cats pajamas. Then came the C-64 with its staggering 64K of memory...I was like..."what the hell do you do with so much memory?!?!"

Its kind of too bad its just a crappy Linux PC in the old case though.

I cant help but feel that all of the legacy brands get bastardized over and over as just a pure money grab from us old timers

Personally, I get a lot more enjoyment out of just keeping some of these older systems around. I still have my Amiga 4000T working perfectly and you can get a real, original, C64 on eBay very cheap.

Otherwise its just yet another Intel PC (which we all have already) in a retro case.

I still have a VIC-20 and a MAC +, along with an assortment of older Intel and AMD based computers. Don't know what I am going to do with these relics that sit and collect dust.

I almost failed high school because of my Amiga 500. I had so many pirated games... made getting laid something of a challenge...:frown:

Word, me and a buddy were talking about this game at work last week.

I still have my TRS-80 at my parents house.
No hard drive, no floppy. You had to code whatever game you wanted to play, and when you turned it off you lost it. That was fun, right?

And I still have my IBM PCjr

I remember running home just to get on the 64, love the green letters and black screen.

[OneRedNSX]

Yea, that thing came out before my time :tongue: Sounds like, um, loads of fun haha.

 

[Whatwasthat]

how do you use that without a mouse? jk

 

[NeoNSX]

So if it uses modern internals, what will the "64" stand for? Won't be 64K RAM....

Perhaps 64 titles are released before it fails?
