Saw that video a couple days, very nice. I was given an 800 at one point probably not long after you got a C64, but I was really too young to understand it. Within a couple years though, I began to see that the C64 my friends' uncle next door had was much cooler than the dumb Apple IIe's we had at school! Games were far better, and he had stacks of bootleg discs, ha ha. The last time I saw a C64 in action was probably 1991 or so, until Joe had one setup at the DP store for NAVA a few times. I got one myself from eBay for like $35 CIB plus shipping in summer 2013. I also got one of those cheapy SD2IEC things and ran games off that. The following year I was able to get onto the list for the Ultimate 1541-II which was like $150 at the time, but well worth it, because that thing runs everything. I've had some fun with it, really neat to run the old cracked roms with the off the wall 80's techo music .

Recently of course, Sonic the Hedgehog was ported to C64 and it's mighty impressive. It requires Commodore's RAM Expansion Unit (REU) or something equivalent (such as the 1541-II) to run though, but I expect we'll see more and more sophisticated games being ported/written in the future.
