Commodore 64
Soooo, anyone old enough to remember the Commodore 64? We're moving, and I found one in a closet. Looks like we still have our old games, and software. Only other hardware I could find is the printer. (for the record, I was probably like 7 when I played the Commodore, and that was waaay after its golden age).
Is it just me, or is 8-bit just too much fun? 8-bit, 16-bit, ya, the good old days.
P.S. Why is it too darn difficult to find a Wii? I Nintendo trying to jack up demand or something?

At the time I had an Atari 400 which I upgraded with more memory to be like an 800. You had to solder a board into the machine yourself. I ended up modding 3 other peoples machines because they didnt want to touch it. A 400 + upgrade cost less than an 800.
In the 90's I inherited a friends C64 and Intellivision, but never really used them.
A few weeks ago I found a program that can read Atari-ST disks on my PC drive. So I've been rescuing old art files and some game code and art from a C game I made back in 91-92. Only one disk was unreadable so far, I've more disks to sort through. I can also convert the old Degas art files to PNG using XnView. So I'm very happy.

Response to the P.S.:
Wiis are hard to find because of three reasons:
6. Wiis are uber awesome cool and as such everyone wants one
7. Wiis are uber awesome priced and as such everyone wants one
8. Wiis are uber awesome better than other systems and as such everyone wants one.
If everyone wants one, then nobody gets one...

Wow triple post. But your wrong, Wiis are better then other systems because they make you get up and move and they have fun and better games.*CRAZYHORSE* wrote:I have to disagree with you here Wiis are indeed Über awesome but isn't better then other systems it's just different then other systems but still Über.Sir Lancelot wrote:Response to the P.S.:

Bah, Wii does not have Dynasty Warriors, Armored Core, Gears of War, Halo, or the Megaman series. Therefore, I cannot believe your claim of Wii superiority.Sir Lancelot wrote:Wow triple post.

It's a secret to everybody.
