Always upvote C=! All including the Amigas were ahead of their time. Still have my C=64 and Amiga 500.

Is it made of nano-Nokias?

I'm sure that thing will get the "upgrade to Windows 10" notification soon..

LOAD "*" ,8 ,1

Is it just used as the weight?

I bet you can still read the screen even if it's turned off.

This is the most awesome thing I've seen all day.

I adore my 64....
TempestWest
I'm digging out my Vic20 when I get home and see if Radar Rat Race still works
wyatt8740
The vic-20 is far less failure-prone than the C64. It'll probably work fine. Maybe you'll need to replace some capacitors though.
DiarmuidRyan
C64. Still play the games online. The memories....ahhhhh.
PianoMan2112
I replayed Ultima III a few months ago.

It simply has reached a level of consciousness and doesn't realize it's dead.

My friend wants to know the meaning of this
Iwouldbenick
its the "numbers" from Lost, the 2004-2010 Hit American television drama series.
bitbytebytes
That ended in a huge pile of disappointment.
Iwouldbenick
I actually really enjoyed the ending. I never believed they were all dead, still dont

Not penny's boat
STOPSHOPPINGFAKEARSES
I had a memory upgrade for my VIC-20, switchable in similar kb increments
psychoelectrickitty
The numbers, Mason. What do they mean?

The beauty of old technology is the concept of 'if it breaks people will buy it again' was not yet implemented.
Corona688
Some kinds of C64 had a hellacious failure rate.
Corona688
Differnce is, this wasn't a disposable all-in-one.

They don't make'em like they used to?
wyatt8740
The C64 was notorious for poor quality hardware and failing components. Mine's one of many casualties.
bugeyetex
Unlike the N64
wyatt8740
The N64 has a higher failure rate than most other nintendo hardware I've seen, but it's still a good sight more reliable than the C64.
DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
Don't *ever* remove that floppy from the drive.
Tsumino79
why?
DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
With all the dirt and crap around? They were notoriously finicky to begin with. Take it out, get any dirt on it, it will never work again.
Tsumino79
ah i see what you mean

LOAD "BALANCE THAT SHAFT" ,8,1

Crap, I forgot to specify port 8, now it wants me to press play on tape.

GasBandit
You guys had to name the programs? I just stuck in the disk and said LOAD "*",8,1
Dsharppe
Occasionally there would be secondary games on the discs, but you are correct, most of the time * would work fine.
rahabhimself
jeez. I had the fast load cartridge. ctrl-shift
rahabhimself
also, wasn't it LOAD "$",8,1 for directory?
firefighter26
Oh man, this brings back memories. Pirates. Might & Magic. Wasteland. Load Tunner. Bards Tale. Silent Service. Space Rogue. Red Storm Rising

Ultima, Knights of Legend, Destroyer, Test Drive, Empire, F19 Stealth Fighter. So many games. Dual 1541 drivers. Pure 80's awesomeness
fizixx
I taught myself BASIC on a C64....fuck'n ay. I also see a 1541 in the back there, which was pretty much a necessity. 5 1/4 floppy's...whoa.
stealthgunner385
Yup. That's a 1541-II - beige color and a more solid flip lever.
fizixx
That's NICE....wow...pretty amazing tho isn't it?! It reminds me of the show: Halt and Catch Fire, on AMC. Have you seen it?
stealthgunner385
Haven't heard of it until now. Three seasons already? Nice. Time to dive into it.
fizixx
Not sure how many seasons. Someone else told me about it. I bet you'd like it!! Try it. It's so retro it's not funny & you can see the C64!
wyatt8740
Mine died when I looked at it funny. My VIC-20 works though.
nombreOmitido
I have one of that too.
stealthgunner385
Sweet, a C-1541!

I'll asume you are one of those mechanics that could easily remove the bolts in the tires with your fingers and say that that look was more
wyatt8740
'that look was more...?'
MisterTrashPanda
Bolts in the tires....

Man, I love the Atari joystick.
Snooj
I was an Epyx 500XJ man myself.
rxse7en
We had the Wico bathandle big red joystick. That thing was awesome. We used to go through the stock joysticks like mad.
wyatt8740
If you look closely under the table, you'll see the atari itself.
Pundamentalist
That's because (to quote William Shatner) "unlike games it has a real computer keyboard"
wyatt8740
The keyboard is horrible to type on, but yes it does. Wish I could transplant a Macintosh keyboard onto it.
Pundamentalist
I suppose that's the downside to building to a certain price point. I bet they never thought the machines would be around for so long.
wyatt8740
Yeah. Back then the mac hardware actually cost something compared to its retail price...

Check out my SX64
AnalBumCoverFor7000Alex
What's that game?
wyatt8740
Amiga 500![]()
wyatt8740
Do you have a spare Apple IIe? I have a monitor in DIRE NEED of a computer to match.
Paramike
Sadly no! I only have two SX64 machines, one breadbox and an A2000 from that era. I'm downsizing due to moving.
wyatt8740
I only have an a500. Gimme.

Have you watched Halt and Catch Fire on Netflix? Interesting show about this era in computing.

wyatt8740
Also 4 famicoms (japanese NES) & Super Famicom.![]()
HideousKojima
Give me one.
wyatt8740
Haha, got anything to trade? I need an Apple IIe for my monitor (and am also willing to consider other offers)
HideousKojima
I have a pretty sick bike. I take it off sweet jumps everyday. Let's do this.

Thought it was a live action fallout
wyatt8740
"there's a monochrome CRT so obviously it's fallout"
PianoMan2112
The only game where just getting put of bed is a major accomplishment.
wyatt8740
This is the computer game "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on my IBM 3161 terminal. Not actually fallout related.
PianoMan2112
I know. Don't you remember all you had to go through? If you haven't played it, try it!
wyatt8740
I GOT THE BABEL FISH. For that I can stand tall and proud.
