Aah... I remember my childhood when I used to play video games on that...

I still have it, and I think that it's a very underrated machine (and forgotten, above all). The games were fun and extremely playable... I also used to write simple programs in Basic (computer language). What's also very cool about C64 is that it has a pretty complex sound processor (of course, when you think of technology in the 80's).

I will never get rid of my 'Commie'.

My mom used to be addicted to this thing. She likes to mention how she used to work out bugs in her games and everything.

She used to play a game called Voodoo Castle all the time. I gave it a try once, but it was no use.

c64 was my first computer, but i used it more for programming than gaming.

that said, i used to love california games (especially surfing for some reason). i had a couple of cartridge games too, "wizard of wor" seems to be the only one i can still remember.

i had a line printer and the clunky floppy drive (LOAD "*",8,1, anyone?). and do this day i still sometimes hit <shift>+<2> when meaning to enter double-quotes.

i used to have a Commodore-Amiga 64. it was awesome at the time. i was 'da man' at Lemmings and Jack Nichlaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf.

Desert Strike was wicked as well until my joystick broke and i couldn't play it any more
