The everlasting loader,

[DayleJ]

So who had a commodore 64 to start of in the world of gaming?

there was some classics to it such as batman, + dizzy (the egg) platform, they were great at my young age but the problem was they took round 45 mins 2 load up!!! if not longer, lol

but hey it only gets better :tup:

Post here to talk about the good old Commodore 64!

[[N]eto]

I don't know what a commador 64 is but if it is a nintendo64 than yes . GO DONKEY KONG64!

[Nitrous]

Don't bring back old thread please, anyway a commador 64 was way before your time and mine for that matter.

[DayleJ]

thanks nitrous i feel really young now lol
the drawing on it was fun...well ok not really after you manged to get through the book of instructions to get it up all you could do was colour in little blocks one at a time...how things hav changed! :D

[Cid Highwind]

Uhm it may be incredibly late but...
I used to have a Commodore

I think I had some game with a helicopter and some game with squares chasing each other.

It was hell to boot up though, took friggin long, like 30 minutes.
But you could write your own game! by typing tons and tons and tons of codes

[DayleJ]

didn't know you could do that but then again i was only like 7 when i had it! lol i remember having a batman game and dizzy the egg i had quite a few but i don't remember them now

[Cid Highwind]

I kept mine as long as I could, but in the end it didn't work anymore, quite sad.

Another chapter of my youth broken down ;)

[DayleJ]

i gave mine away (or well my parents did, lol) after master system and especially mega drive took its realm :P

[Cid Highwind]

hmmm yeah, mega drive II. I think I betrayed Commodore by playing Road Rash so much on the megadrive haha

[Invader_gir]

My uncle sells these.. He's disowned the rest of the family though, so I ain't getting one from him (though I would like one..)

[DayleJ]

what a commodore? not sure many people would be wanting/buying one of these

Mega Drive II took over many hours of my life! lol Sonic! Sensible Soccer! Aladdin! Super Hang-On....i actually still have it and get it out time to time to have a little dabble on it! lol

[Invader_gir]

Yeah, mum finds it really odd that he sells them, but he does =P
I love that Aladdin game...
