Who had a Commodore back in the day?
 

I did



C64

I had a VIC20 about a lifetime ago.

I always wanted one but got stuck with a colecovision ADAM instead.

I don't remember seeing that game on the shelves

Always wanted a ColecoVision :2 cents:

My first video editing machine amiga 1200

my dad got a c64 when i was 8 or so. i spent so much time playing it and 'making' games by typing in code off the back of some computer magazine.

Had a Commodore 64 Color back in the day.
Acquired 2 more in their original box and just sold them over the summer at a flea market.

I wish I still had mine :(

I didn't touch a computer again until 1995

I just bought one again this year. Pretty fun. It's been modified to use composite video so I can connect it to my av receiver.

What do they sell for these days?

We had one of these when I was a kid... I remember writing little programs with it and then storing them on casette.

I worked for the guy whose son the Adam is named after before he became Coleco's engineering director in the early 80s.

My youngest son learned the keyboard layout on a VIC20.

I had the outboard floppy drive and the data cassette at 1 time.

I had c64
and few tapes
I played some cool games, but sold it very soon because tape reader had some problems

A C64 and hundreds of floppy disks full of games.

Raid on Bungling Bay, Hunt for Red October, Ultima, F-117, Pirates!... so many great games!

My buddy had one and his dad had the modem where you took the phone handset and placed it in a cradle and the computer communicated over the phone based on the sounds from the handset. Thing never seemed to work properly.

Oh yeah. Our high school had those in a computer lab. I want to say it was 1984 or 85. Then we got the Mac II SEs. We thought we were ballers on those. LOL.

me too...

I definitely did! Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga 500 / 2000.

We did Crack testing for games on the Amiga! Maniac Mansion was a fav!

We actually set up a Digitizer with a video camera, lights and color wheel, hooked up to the Amiga in 1987! :thumbsup

C64 and Amiga 500. Some of the best computer memories.

my dad wouldnt buy one. he got this instead.

Acoustic Coupled Modems! LOL

When they did work they were slllllllllllooooooooowwwwwwwwww!


Had a couple of Trash 80s also, like I said a lifetime ago.

Commodore 64 and 128. Ran a BBS with them, four 5.25" floppy drives. 8,1 9,1 10,1 and 11,1 .. heh.

Yup, had a Commodore 64 and played Castle Wolfenstein till the break-a-break-a dawn.

We could not afford the trendy c64.
msx1 it was!

At one point they sold for $150.00 with the monitor on Ebay.

Mine didn't have the monitor. I sold them both for $70.00. $35.00 apiece
They were useless junk hanging around the house that I had no intentions on using.

Commodore C128 with 1571 floppy and 80 character color monitor

So many good memories on here

:thumbsup

I had a Commodore Amiga 500. It was amazing, with full-color graphics and a graphical interface, so I didn't have to type in DOS commands anymore. I loved that machine.

I had a Commodore back in the 80's, i loved that thing. I cant remember what model, I think it was a 64

That video is making me cry I'm laughing so hard.

I always wanted a commodore... ended up getting an Atari 400 for my Bar Mitzvah back in '82 lol.

I had a 64 too and I spent weeks and weeks thinking I wanted to be a programmer and bouncing a ball all over the screen - that was a train wreck and tested my patience really bad - so I turned to building pcs and ended up building a few of them before I found the internet years later. lol

^^This! The C128 that you could run in C64 mode to play all those games you had lying about. I cut my coding chops on that thing.

even more so, the color of the penis to the character

:1orglaugh

I remember when a friend got that, It was mandatory at the end of using it that it got covered. (oh how times have changed) I only had a lowly 64.

I had a Commodore 64 in high school with the tape drive, had a few games that I played that I entered the code from a programming magazine that I got. Some of the games I even figured out how to hack so I could cheat at them! There was also a store in the mall that sold computers like the C64 and later the C128, when no one was looking I would code in a small program that would scroll a message on the screen like "MY NAME IS GOD FUCK YOU!!" and other offensive and sacrilegious stuff and run out of there, I did it over and over again but they never caught me.

I was cracking games and putting intros (loaders with textscrollers) on c64 but I was better on Amiga later doing this, ram HST US Robotics bbs etc., years 1988-1993.

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:


100 Commodore 64 games in 10 minutes:


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.

C64 radio: :: SLAY Radio::

Nice. Were you in a group back then?

I remember Razor 1911, Fairlight, Next, etc.
