Commodore 64 fans, check this out...

I bet some of you had a Commodore 64 back in the day, right? If you did, you might want to check this out. This little stick is (unknown to many) an actual Commodore 64 computer (including the full BASIC operating system), and people are starting to hack them to connect keyboards, disk drives, etc. Pretty cool.

We have those up here too for some of the "classic" arcade games like Ms. Pac Man, Space invaders, and best of all GALAGA!

usually 3 games per controller unit.

How's this for classic - a new, never used Commodore VIC-20.

I had a VIC 20.....It used a cassette drive, instead of a disk drive.

Even back then it was soooo slow.

1 MHz and 5KB of memory. It was a screamer!

Love the Vic20 Greg...do you have "Choplifter" for it?

[Scream And Fly]

Actually, I never used it. When I was little, my Atari computer was all I used. I would like to try the VIC out though, just for fun.

[Dirtbag]

run some performance comparisons for us :D

See if you can speed it up with a Brucato Tuner ;)

I was thinking of using the old VIC-20 as a backup database server. What do you think?
