A quick C128 question.

[dan2357]

Will the 128 play the C64 carts? I picked up a couple of 64 carts today but only have a 128, also got some colecovision games but don't pwn one of those yet.
Here are the Commodore 64 carts I got today.
International soccer
Astoblitz
Speed/bingo/math
River Raid
Moon Patrol
all $0.99 each so even if they dont play on the 128 I couldn't pass them up. any good finds here? I got to buy the guide allready.

Absolutely.

I didn't see any of them on eBay, current or completed -- maybe you got something there! C64 stuff is hard to sell (IMHO) due to the rampant piracy of the system's software. You'd have to find a collector.

Thanks, my 128 is at the bottom of a pile of boxes, didn't want to dif it out just to check. But will dig it out to play.

There are supposedly a very small number of C64 carts that actually don't work on the C128... I don't know of any specifically, but I've heard that Sega's cartridges don't fit into the C128's cartridge port properly due to the cartridge casing. I don't have any Sega games to verify this though.

I would buy a C128 or a C64 because I want to see how computers and computer games evolved.
