    I saw that video. It kind of cool to see.

    There’s still a bunch of games coming out for the C64. There was even a version of Sydney Hunter released a couple of years ago.

    When i was a kid i didn't have a C64 but i all ways knew some one that did.Any chance i get to play a game on it i took the opportunity you gotta love that SID chip for it's music and sure was step above,2600.Years ago i did get a C64 1702 monitor used but that's it and i mostly use it for older consoles that have composite.Though i do have a C64 mini when it's price dropped a few years ago.

    I grew up CoCo but a friend in middle school had one. He loved to rub it in my face (which, as I look back, he liked to do to people with the stuff he got) that it was better than my CoCo. My only saving grace in the argument (at least from my perspective) was that I actually USED the computer for other things, like programming. I told him programming was easier on my machine than his, but that didn't make a blip on his radar.

    Many years later, I got a Commodore monitor, a C-64 C, disk drive and a bunch of disks for $15. The computer was interesting but it didn't really grab me. I think I traded/sold/gave it to someone here in the forums at a Midwest Gaming Classic. I still have the monitor, though I think it needs recapping. I'm debating if I want to do that or not.
