Who had a Commodore back in the day? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

I had ZX-Spectrum and then Atari 800XL

symtab · 12-13-2014, 10:47 AM

Started with a Commodore 64 and later a 286 with a 10MB hard drive :-)

Interviews with Martin Galway

"He was also the first musician to get published with sampled sounds on the Commodore, with the theme for the Arkanoid conversion. "...so I tried to make up my own drum sample sounds in realtime ? which is the flatulence stuff that shipped in Arkanoid. [...]"

Following includes the end theme (after minute 2:17) which is like original arcade one but Galway could not resist and remixed it a little:

Some Galaway's stuff:

My first computer I learned machine code on was a Commodore PET. I hated the cassette drive as the tape always got stuck so I never bothered with the VC20 or VC 64.

Instead I switched to Atari, Apple and a Cromenco frame.

Later I been in Ram Jam for just coding demos. I had chats with razor 1911 people (norwegian ones), the TRSI (when still was Tristar and Red Sector separated, the german ones), and most of the scene of the time, we was so El1t3, less people than GFY members, forgot who and about what

Some old school names up there! TRSI lasted a long time too. Lots went to Digital Gangster and post up on there last I checked. I moved onto distro back in those days, was part of DoD and Class, then later when we hit the AO scene (WaY, UpS)

Good times

Now for some epic Myth

How about the Turrican II title music 'The Final Fight' by Chris Hülsbeck, on Amiga:

stoka · 12-15-2014, 02:30 AM

i had zx spectrum for two years and then i switched to amstrad cpc 464 because there was childish rivalry between commodore and sinclair owners so spectrum owners would usually switch to amstrad and commodore owners would switch to c128 or, later, amiga

but i am pretty sure that most of us from "z80 club" were secretly dreaming of spending a night with 64-er, preferably dressed in cbm 1541 and 1702

Matyko · 12-15-2014, 02:31 AM

I've had and still do have a C64 and a Plus4. C64 was an awesome machine.

XMaster · 12-15-2014, 02:42 AM

My first computer was this beauty

Intel 8088, 4,77 Mhz - a monster!

lepsoma · 12-15-2014, 02:54 AM

still have a c64, a few old gameboys, an atari 1200xl clone!

secrettoolbox · 12-18-2014, 06:15 AM

Now you've set me off. Way back in the day we owned a company that sold these systems, Commodores and Spectrums, and also serviced them down to component level, we were the biggest in the UK for service work, and eventually took a contract with Commodore to take care of all their service work, they used to bring in thousands and thousands of these systems on a constant basis, we could not fix them fast enough. We knew them inside out, funny I never actually had one, I guess we spent so much time using them at work that the last thing you wanted to see was another one! Literally tens if not hundreds of thousands passed before me, you'd think I'd have kept one.

You guys with tape deck issues should have bought an azimuth tape

Somewhere in the UK, buried deep in the ground there are 50,000 C2N cassette decks that I had to condemn for commodore, design issue.

I could go on and on all day about these things.

Btw I never bothered to look for it, but I think I saw an emulator for the Amiga.

ManPuppy · 12-18-2014, 06:31 AM

I had a C64, and before that I had a TI-100. I wrote my own version of Centipede in it, and made a music sequencing program.

AND, I was in the first classroom in Florida with dedicated computers. Not the first generation, the very first classroom. We were a test group, to see if 7th graders could master the complexities of the TRS80.

I remember Mr. Hoddinott (yes, his real name) explaining external memory, and demonstrating the floppy drive. The terminals had 1meg of ROM. Mr. Hoddinott guaranteed we would NEVER need more than that.

The C64 had especially good music for the time, those MSX or ZX Spectrums could not play such nice tunes. Later, Amiga especially had good visuals. Then the Commodore management trashed it all with incredible sillyness. Made happy Apple and others.

The C64 arkanoid music, that simply rocks:

Anyone remembers second reality by future crew for PC? There's the C64 conversion:

And my preferred stuff, the crack intros:

Perhaps the C= was bigger in Europe than in USA? In Europe it was legend.

TapTapper · 12-18-2014, 09:14 AM

I did!

Commodore 64. I was in high school. We didn't have a tape drive and there wasn't any software, so to write a paper I typed in a word processing program, debugged it, ran it and then wrote my paper. Over and over. I loved it. I learned machine code on that thing too.

There was a commodore 64 magazine that had programs printed in it every month. I'd spend DAYS typing in games or utilities or whatever and they NEVER worked the first time. they were never, never correct. Once I got the hang of things I could catch their mistakes as I typed.

I'd have to leave it turned on for weeks at a time since I didn't have a tape drive to save anything.

0101011100111010101 PEEK() POKE()

Then I got a Commodore 128 when that came out. It had storage so I could turn it off when I wasn't using it. The code worked better, the language was cleaner. It was easier to use. Wasn't the same at all

I did other things for years but ended up as a coder after all. But I'm pretty much addicted to GUIs now. I did low level machine back when I had to. Now I want code hints and pretty colors

I've learned a couple dozen languages over the years but now I do VBA/VB, SQL, office apps, sharepoint, managing webstores, products feeds, images and product data, installing and updating carts.

Right now I manage sex toy websites and build VOD sites but I am looking for a new job if any of what I do sounds interesting to you

brandonstills · 12-18-2014, 10:55 AM

I still remember typing "SYS 49152" in order to launch games. Got my start programming on the C64.

TROLLENSTEIN · 12-18-2014, 11:01 AM

Got a 2nd hand Amiga 1200 as a kid. Loved that machine, had an Action Reply card, external 3.5 drive and 2MB (?) of RAM. It blew my tiny little mind.

rastan · 12-18-2014, 11:28 AM

ha, some good memories!!!
Stunt Car Racer, with the car suspension sounding like a creaking old bed!!

I miss the days when I use to load my Bruce Lee game on my K7 player and hear those weird noises.

I also ran linux in a c64 emulator just for fun ;)
