Anyone remember the Commodore Vic-20 or 64 ??
 

Those were the days!

I remember running my Commodore 64 BBS on my parents
home phone at night and during the day..lol

I guess you can say I was a webmaster since 1986!

lol..

Indeed the were. A Commodore 64 was my first computer. I thought I was shit hot when I got my Amiga 500! I remember paying a few hundred dollars once to get an extra 500k of ram for it. Woohoo!

I had the Vicmodem 300. Simplex! Flipped a switch on the side to switch between send and receive.

One of my first 'real' programs was an animation which liberally abused the CBM character set.

I gave my whole vic-20 collection complete with 16k RAM expansion pack and dipswitch box to allow 4 carts at once! away at a garage sale in the early 90s.

Protip: Don't use the 16k cart if you need to do any RT shit; it disables the clock. Entirely.

Sure i had a Vic 20

I was a pro at re-aligning the 1541 floppy drive.

I had the powerful Commodore 128.

My buddy had the 64 and he had the tape drive. He had a game that you would start then press play on the tape drive and it took 15 minutes for it to load. If you died after playing for 2 minutes you had to reload the whole thing.

i still have two C64's complete with diskdrive and all sorts of accessories
C64 and Amiga are my personal favorites.. ran 9 node BBS on Ami Express on the Amiga for many years, was European headquarters for a few groups, one was Razor1911

My first computer was a Vic20. My how far we've come...

I ran my first BBS of my Amiga 500 with a 52MB Hard drive and a 2400 modem.

Remember this?

Had a C64 for a while, ditched it for an Amiga 500.

.

Too bad that the Amiga was a flop..

I remember when I got a 1571 drive, wow.. that was fast!
I had a buddy with a Hard Drive, now.. those were expensive back
in those days, like $1500 or something.

I had a shitty 128k baud modem, something really shitty, of course, I was like in the 9th grade in 1986..

Yep, I remember them, but I had an Atari 400 (with a bubble keyboard).

But I finally took the plunge and upgraded to a Atari 1200XL with a 300 baud modem that really rocked :1orglaugh

How about the TRS-80 aka TRASH 80 from Radio Shack, $2000+ PC that sucked ass!

Commodore Plus/4.. had one of those, GARBAGE!

Check this site out, damn..forgot what this stuff looked like till now..
good ol' days!

Yeah, my 52MB hard drive for the Amiga was about $1200 at the time. But ram was about $100 for 1 MB stick. I had 4MB added on.

Mind you, the Amiga was a great machine, but 4MHz was fucken slow.

Those were the magical days of computing..

Had a Synclair ZX81 first and than a TSR-80

Jetpack!

Wow, apparently, BBS still exist running Commodore Hardware!

Ha! I had a Synclair ZX Spectrum first!
Then a Commodore 64 with disc drive and 100's of games. And a notebook in which we kept the highscores. :1orglaugh

I remember seeing them, never used one.

I had the Commodore 128/64. I use to get these pc magazines that would have the code to type in that would create your own games. I loved it when that magazine arrived:)

I had a ZX-Spectrum, then got a 64 as the graphics and sound were so much better. I remember playing Elite, Ghostbusters and Paradroid.

Used to have an Amiga 500. The games on it were fucking awesome. Prince of Persia, Golden Axe, Blues Brothers, Speedball, International Karate Plus ..... :thumbsup!

I didnt have this back in the time cause i was so young in that time

I still have my Commie 64 in fact I'm using it right now...

wizzball was my favorite on the C64

The Vic 20 was my second computer. The c64 was my third. Tape drives with both of them. Programming was extremely fun on both and EA Sports Summer Games and Magic Vs. Bird were great on the 64.

The TI99 was my first.

Some things will never be forgotten.

Sure... Commodore 64 was my first computer :)

I used to play "Moons of Titan" on one, that my dad gifted to me...

Before Commodore 64 came out, I had an earlier version.
