Tux-e-do 08-10-2002, 02:29 AM Oh boy this brings back some memories :D How many people use to have one of these babies? http://www.oldsoftware.com/history.html shaunewing 08-10-2002, 02:42 AM Aaah, it certainly does bring memories. From that page I had the following: - Commodore 64 - Commodore Vic20 - 1530 Datassette - Commodore 64c - 1541-II floppy drive - GEOS I also had a Commodore dot-matrix printer (not on the page). It had two interfaces - Commodore interface and a standard PC parallel interface. I remember my neighbours having the Commodore 128D many years ago and me thinking how cool it was :D webarama 08-10-2002, 03:50 AM I remember my friend had a Vic20 of which I was extremely jealous. We used to spend hours playing the very basic games available for it. Then for Christmas I got a Commodore 64, and suddenly I was the one to be envious of. He and I would spend entire weekends typing in programs out of a computer magazine. Thousands and thousands of lines of code, then we'd marvel at the way some pixellated character would make it's way across the screen. Ahh those were the days. :) goehner 08-10-2002, 06:29 AM I still have am Amiga 500 and I love playing the Amiga games on the Amiga-Emulator for Windows. :cool: Tux-e-do 08-10-2002, 10:06 AM Originally posted by davehooper.net I remember my friend had a Vic20 of which I was extremely jealous.

And the tape drive.. I'd set it to load before dinner, and when I come back from dinner it would be nice and loaded ready to use :) --Shaun WiseOnline 08-10-2002, 11:44 AM I know I have one or two of those in the basement. :) Chicken 08-10-2002, 01:49 PM Originally posted by davehooper.net I remember my friend had a Vic20 of which I was extremely jealous.

I recall a block or a balloon moving from the left to the right (doesn't really matter which, you could barely tell what it was), whooooopie! Plus the floppy drive that was rather large and heavy, plus the tape drives (blazing speed there). OverSkilled 08-10-2002, 02:17 PM Macs that had 4inx4in screens were the best. They even had paint. webarama 08-10-2002, 04:27 PM Originally posted by Chicken Plus the floppy drive that was rather large and heavy, plus the tape drives (blazing speed there). You had a floppy drive - now you were lucky. I was stuck with the tape drive, and would sit there for an eternity waiting for things to load up. The best game I ever had was "The Hobbit", an adventure game. Never got past about 15% of the way through, but it was pretty cool anyhow.

It actually wasn't the drive itself, the powersupplies for the drives were rather touchy. Acroplex 08-10-2002, 05:10 PM Pfftt, commie 64. I had a Sinclair Research ZX Spectrum - then 128 then +2. Commie graphics were so blocky... ljprevo 08-10-2002, 05:41 PM 3rd post down on this page: http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=59868&perpage=15&pagenumber=2 Read the original therad, it will crack you up. http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=59868&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 :D :D :D DoobyWho 08-10-2002, 06:51 PM I had one with 3 rats powering it.
