[BlackCrayon]

my dad got a c64 when i was 8 or so. i spent so much time playing it and 'making' games by typing in code off the back of some computer magazine.

[FriendsForNow]

Had a Commodore 64 Color back in the day.
Acquired 2 more in their original box and just sold them over the summer at a flea market.

I just bought one again this year. Pretty fun. It's been modified to use composite video so I can connect it to my av receiver.

I worked for the guy whose son the Adam is named after before he became Coleco's engineering director in the early 80s.

I had the outboard floppy drive and the data cassette at 1 time.

[seeandsee]

I had c64
and few tapes
I played some cool games, but sold it very soon because tape reader had some problems

[dready]

A C64 and hundreds of floppy disks full of games.

Raid on Bungling Bay, Hunt for Red October, Ultima, F-117, Pirates!... so many great games!

[MrBottomTooth]

My buddy had one and his dad had the modem where you took the phone handset and placed it in a cradle and the computer communicated over the phone based on the sounds from the handset. Thing never seemed to work properly.

[seeric]

Oh yeah. Our high school had those in a computer lab. I want to say it was 1984 or 85. Then we got the Mac II SEs. We thought we were ballers on those. LOL.

me too...

[James - Mr. Skin]

I definitely did! Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga 500 / 2000.

We did Crack testing for games on the Amiga! Maniac Mansion was a fav!

We actually set up a Digitizer with a video camera, lights and color wheel, hooked up to the Amiga in 1987!

[MPGdevil]

C64 and Amiga 500. Some of the best computer memories.

[Joshua G]

my dad wouldnt buy one. he got this instead.

Acoustic Coupled Modems! LOL

When they did work they were slllllllllllooooooooowwwwwwwwww!


Had a couple of Trash 80s also, like I said a lifetime ago.

[edgeprod]

Commodore 64 and 128. Ran a BBS with them, four 5.25" floppy drives. 8,1 9,1 10,1 and 11,1 .. heh.

[Verbal]

Yup, had a Commodore 64 and played Castle Wolfenstein till the break-a-break-a dawn.

[Pornopat]

We could not afford the trendy c64.
msx1 it was!

At one point they sold for $150.00 with the monitor on Ebay.

Mine didn't have the monitor. I sold them both for $70.00. $35.00 apiece
They were useless junk hanging around the house that I had no intentions on using.

[MaDalton]

Commodore C128 with 1571 floppy and 80 character color monitor

[RTP]

So many good memories on here

[Jeffmage]

I had a Commodore Amiga 500. It was amazing, with full-color graphics and a graphical interface, so I didn't have to type in DOS commands anymore. I loved that machine.

[Famemonster]

I had a Commodore back in the 80's, i loved that thing. I cant remember what model, I think it was a 64

I had a 64 too and I spent weeks and weeks thinking I wanted to be a programmer and bouncing a ball all over the screen - that was a train wreck and tested my patience really bad - so I turned to building pcs and ended up building a few of them before I found the internet years later. lol

^^This! The C128 that you could run in C64 mode to play all those games you had lying about. I cut my coding chops on that thing.

I remember when a friend got that, It was mandatory at the end of using it that it got covered. (oh how times have changed) I only had a lowly 64.

[izombie]

I had a Commodore 64 in high school with the tape drive, had a few games that I played that I entered the code from a programming magazine that I got. Some of the games I even figured out how to hack so I could cheat at them! There was also a store in the mall that sold computers like the C64 and later the C128, when no one was looking I would code in a small program that would scroll a message on the screen like "MY NAME IS GOD FUCK YOU!!" and other offensive and sacrilegious stuff and run out of there, I did it over and over again but they never caught me.

[adultmobile]

I was cracking games and putting intros (loaders with textscrollers) on c64 but I was better on Amiga later doing this, ram HST US Robotics bbs etc., years 1988-1993.

The C64 had especially good music for the time, those MSX or ZX Spectrums could not play such nice tunes. Later, Amiga especially had good visuals. Then the Commodore management trashed it all with incredible sillyness. Made happy Apple and others.

The C64 arkanoid music, that simply rocks:


100 Commodore 64 games in 10 minutes:


Anyone remembers second reality by future crew for PC? There's the C64 conversion:


And my preferred stuff, the crack intros:


Perhaps the C= was bigger in Europe than in USA? In Europe it was legend.

Nice. Were you in a group back then?

I remember Razor 1911, Fairlight, Next, etc.

yeah cracking games was great. i didn't know anything about it but we had 100 games but only paid for a few. same thing with the amiga. one game i loved playing on the amiga was kinf of chicago. i thought the graphics were great at the time.

[GFED]

Good times. I ran a BBS back in the days. Angels/Defjam USHQ.

[RummyBoy]

I remember as a kid feeling sorry for anyone who had a Vic20.... its was an inferior machine and wasnt much cheaper than the C64. Sadly I cant remember too many other games...... Boulderdash, Spy Vs Spy was fun. The games were so good because there were so many limitations on other aspects that design focus went entirely on gameplay.

I love this Lukhash redo of the Spy Vs Spy music theme.... brings back memories:

Name of the BBS? I had account in most, I was often in some by the silents, forgot the name.
In previous GFY threads a few ex-sysops popped up, including dr.picard of uss enterprise, friends of mine had paid leech account with

In C64 I was in ICS but too young to be relevant, I was more a lamer. But later on Amiga I been powerful enough to found Comax group, so ex-ICS's people (the original supplier, the crackers, bbs's etc.) joined and we grew up to dozen BBS's. Later I been in Ram Jam for just coding demos. I had chats with razor 1911 people (norwegian ones), the TRSI (when still was Tristar and Red Sector separated, the german ones), and most of the scene of the time, we was so El1t3, less people than GFY members, forgot who and about what

Googled some of our BBS's:
Mozart Mansion +1-904-765-0360 COMAX sysop: Mozart
WAREZHOUSE +1-209-772-9886 COMAX sysop: AMIGAMAN
TOTAL ECLIPSE +46-315-725-45 COMAX sysop: ZCANDALER
Total Eclipse (Sweden) (Amiga Demo Scene BBS)

My first crack was Strip Poker (Anco) in 1987 or 88 (I was 12 or 13):


Then made lots of cracks + trainers (cheat) menus:



My last crack was Brian The Lion (Psygnosis) in 1994 (I was 19):
Brian The Lion - AGA (Amiga Crack Intro)

Then I coded some demos ( Demoscene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) with fellow swedish friends, this in 1996 we tried to participate at the Aseembly in Finland but the organisers found excuse not to accept it because Swedish hated there, you know what...:


Then I gave up Amiga's and just used win + linux for internet stuff. Really I developed some video games too but I been better a cracking them probably

[- Jesus Christ -]

hell yea i had one

[thecatwrites]

I wish I was able to try that one. So cool!

Had one, lots of fun memories!
A friend of mine and I programmed a lemonade stand game in basic, we expanded it to sell hot soup on cold days lol

[RummyBoy]

Bruce Lee - one of my favorites just because the fat buggy Green Ninja or whatever he was, always end up crashing or freezing or something.



Boulderdash was awesome but somehow I don't think it was a big hit:



Ghostbusters game:
