I've been trying to find a Tandy Computer for some time now. My friend from across the street had one when I was just a lad :) I think it would be cool just to have one. |

I have a Atari 800XL that I fire up now and again. I'm hoping to find a cheap disk drive someday, so I can play more/different games. Right now I'm limited to cartridge games. |

Probably my favorite C64 game, ever. But nowadays, I'm sure the experience would not be the same at all with online walkthroughs and all. And of course all those arcade classics are present on the machine including Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc. --- End quote --- Great list! Thanks! I looked up the gameplay on youtube and with the exception of lode runner and jumpman, I would like to play all these. I got to find me some vintage pc's. |

I'm not paying for another one, with how crazy expensive they're getting lately. Truthfully, though, between my Atari 2600, Sega Master System, NES, and DOS-Box on my PC; I'm really not gonna miss it all that much; anymore. There are a handful of games I get nostalgic for, though, that weren't released on those other systems: Swiss Family Robinson, Blue Max, and B.C.'s Quest for Tires were my favorite C64 games as a kid and they aren't available on any other format (that I know of). --- End quote --- What actually happened to your C64 units? Just stopped loading the games? |

The next one I got ended up having a black screen everytime I'd power it on. And the last one I had, it's color chip went bad. It still worked, but you'd get this probably seizure-inducing shimmering effect on the text and some game graphics. |
