The Commodore 64.

I freaking loved this platform, I have a special place for it in my heart as it was my introduction to video games.

My earliest memories are sitting on my fathers lap watching him play. To spending hours sorting through boxes of 5 inch floppy disks typing load, run and list commands ( , 8, 1)

We had hundreds of games, some which would take up to an hour to load everytime they were booted up, seriously. Think about that the next time you have to do a preload of a game on your console.

Only $595 dollars. Thats 80's dollars dont forget.

Ive just spent a good few hours watching youtube videos and adding to my C64 classics list, and I noticed many of my favourites still need to be added as games in the wiki, and the others are yet to be filled in. I cant let this stand.


Well heres my excuse to get into the wiki in earnest (i was getting around to it). These games must be entered for the good of mankind! Many of them the first games to introduce important concepts and ideas, and they deserve their place in the gaming annals!

Yeah, the old magnetic tape load times toughened me :)  I roll my eyes when people complain about a minute loading time for current games.  Just find something to do, people!

Looking forward to your C64 contributions :)

I knew the Commodore kicked ass but the main system that will always live as the first system I played is the great NES,I loved me some Zelda but I think my Zelda loving is over seeing as how I wasn't impressed Twilight Princess

I loved the C64 myself.  Lots of memorable games on that platform.  I also had the Color Computer 2 (CoCo 2) at one time.

I never owned a Commodore 64. But 1 hour load times is a looong time. I am sure that the games you were playing were worth the effort. In our household we started out with the Atari for gaming and moved on to the NES and Sega systems etc. I don't think we got a computer until about 92.

Why buy a PS3 at launch?
