Time and technology has moved on since 1983, but the Commodore 64 continues to survive as a viable gaming platform, supported by a dedicated homebrew scene that's combining old school programming skills with a modern-day indie mentality.
The Amiga was way ahead of times, there was a "silly" add-on called DCTV where it could display a 24bit/16 million color image through a 16 color screen mode. Something unheard of back then.
I sold my A1200 a long time ago but i did keep the Zappo 2x cdrom drive that I used with it. I could play some CD32 games and i still have those. alien breed, mutant football, project-x.
Hell, still got the 1084s monitor but i wouldnt sell that. I made me some custom RGB cables for the genesis, snes even the atari jaguar. RGB was the shizz back then. It was the HDMI of the 90's.
That was an awesome unit, I had so many games!! but only like 6 ran, LOL... Forbidden Forest was by far the best, even beat the Demogorgon! holy hell, that was a flashback..
I remember inputting machine code from a magazine into the commodore 64. Then trying to run the game, it came back with an error. And you had to run thru hundreds of lines to find out where you messed up. So much fun.
Lode Runner was my absolute favorite game on that system.
I had my Commodore 64 -- had to score!
I loved my C64! I wish I still had it.
I skipped this one when I was young.
I had one growing up. Played a lot of Zork I. Got eaten by a lot of grues...
It's a computer, stupid, not a console. A great one, though.
