Anyone here remember the Commodore days?

Had 2 of the c64. Sold them both for $5 a piece a couple of years ago.Can't remember the exact date I got them but think it was around 1983-84.

You got that much for them? Actually, you did pretty good. It is sad to see the depreciation value drop like that. I still have the c128 with the original box with the price sticker on it from Target. I believe it was like $300.00 brand new. Worth every penny of it at the time. I know they are next to worthless these days and that is why I refuse to get rid of mine. That and like Mego's some day I may regret getting rid of it. There are folks out that still like to play with those machines just like we like to play around with Mego's. Sad but true. I still like Mego's better now though.

I just knew that it would not be long after I posted this thread that The Commodores would be mentioned.

did you ever put a game cassette into a tape recorder and listen to it.....lol.I used to love my old c64 and then amiga...rememebr the microprose games...airborne ranger, microprose soccer WITH RAIN!!!, f-17, and of course my favourite GUNSHIP....me and my brotehr played that to death...one on the joystick and one doing the keyboard commands....we even got ourselves leather flying helmets to "enhance" the simulation...lol good days

Ohh yeah!! Those were indeed the days. Gunship was one of my favs back then as well. I also liked Maniac Mansion, Zack McKracken and the Alien Mind Benders. I do in fact remember the Microprose games as well. Airborne Ranger was a good one to. Those were the days. Trade parties, 300-1200 baud modems (YUCK!) , BBS's and groups cracking software before it was even released for sale in some cases. Good times!!!

I also remember those days of ZZAp 64 (a computer mag for 64 gamers), that would print(in the early days) pages of computer langusge to type into your system for a free game...4 hours of one fingered typing later you would hit start and get :
Syntax error line 13....and youd finished over 500 or more lines of data.....that was a day wasted...but oh the anticipation....lol

I was just typing with another member here in another thread about the good old c64/c128 Commodore days. Anyone else have one of those speedy awesome machines? I still have my c128 although I have not used it in years. Every so often I get it out and hook it up and play some of the cooler games on it. Then I get sick of the slooooow load times, computer lock up when it gets too hot after hours of use and bad graphics so I pack it away again for another couple of years until the nostalgic urge hits again. Just wondering if anyone else here has any Commodore stories that want to share?
