Yeah

One for the games and another for the cleaning tapes you had to have
So did everyone notice the intro to GTA vice city?? Nice likeness to the
old commodore screen.

A gaming magazine my brother brought home had a competition in it to
win a C=64, oddly enough.

sys 65738 or something like that

I heard a few years back that C64's were in demand for signs. Some guy
had a cartridge that would run the lamp arrays and you would just type in
the text.
I have also heard that there is a hacked up Network cartridge available
and a tcp stack.
It never dies...
google when you are bored, it is unreal.

Not C64 disks. Tapes were definitely faster. We used to laugh - oh we

I remember when the C64 went for over $1000 one of the local imported one
from Japan....yeah he ended up with the Jap C64...different keyboard charset
and heaps of problems running any software
