I'm a big C64 fan, so I gave you a thumbs up for that link.

Nowadays, I just play all the old games on an emulator that runs just fine on my XP desktop. The one I use is called CCS64: »www.computerbrains.com/ccs64/

It plays a lot of the games that other emulators can't handle.

Yes but is the speed correct?

The only emulator i have ever had work for me is a COLECOVISION emulator (Which locks the CPU speed @ 3.58 Megs during play (PLAYS EXACTLY LIKE IT WOULD ON A COLECO))

Dude111...must've been a labor of love! Very cool!

Funny, I owned one of damn near everything in those days except a C64, but they were, in their day, a heck of a machine!

IIRC, most of the games I had were text-type. I do remember some game with the name "Motor" in its title that was on cassette...

I used to have to go to the most tiny, obscure stores to buy software games for it. Now my cell phone has more storage capacity than the 64 did...
