This is the one part of retro I cant get into is old computers. They are so archaic to me. I am actually using my old monitor right now cause my wide screen right now is having issues and its driving me crazy to even look at this thing and its only a couple years old. |

I've toyed around with starting a Commodore collection. The Commodore 64 was my first game machine. But I look at the cost of games, and back out. Emulation makes a lot of sense to me. But I would be tempted to pick up a Commodore/Amiga collection if I found a lot at the right price. Good games on Commodore are Hostage and Maniac Mansion (better on Amiga or Atari ST though). I have a lot of fond memories of Duck Tales for Commodore. That was my go to game as a little kid. I also died a lot on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That game was SUPER hard for a game that undoubtedly would be purchased for kids. But James Rolfe has talked about that subject enough. You can also get all the old classic arcade games: Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Etc. The Commodore had some damn good flight simulators too. F-14 Tomcat being my favorite. Plus, you can get the classics that are not on consoles (at least well) such as Zork. The Commodore 64 is classic. It is probably the NES of computing. The Amiga is amazing. And I mean that. Absolutely amazing. |

Do you know if the Apple 2 and Commodore can be hooked to the same monitor, or both have to use their model specific? |

I found the Commodore 1541 drive at a thrift shop for 3 bucks I picked up but I am so mad because about 5 months ago, I found the commodore keyboard and everything but the drive, at a good will for 5, and I had no idea what it was then so I left it there :( so mad at my self. I would have had the whole thing. I have never seen any apple 2 components anywhere other than ebay of course |

It's got a game similar to Barnstorming on Atari. A mountain climbing game. And a game where you just take pictures of animals. A few others. But it is probably only a game a little kid would enjoy for the most part. I remember playing it with my dad. I would take the pictures and do the Mummy game. He would take the barnstorming and mountain climbing (the two non little kid games). Hell, the mix of game types might have purposefully been put there for playing with kids... who know. Bottom line: different game. |
