Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

a little de-railing:

for all your Commodore 64 needs

http://www.lemon64.com

if you need info on how to transfer these to Commodore 64 Disk-Drives, I might be able to help you

(I made a parallel cable, many, many, many years ago, to transfer between C-64 and PC)

otherwise there's....:emulators

=)
C-64 will never die

Downloadable Content
Motion Controller
Gimmicky Sega Add-on
FX-Chip Worthy
Original Hardware
Wearer of the Power Glove
That reminds me of how GameInformer scores you on the trivia on the back of the mag. But thats pretty funny though. Wearing the Power Glove is great, but being master of the U-Force is something that is only earned through hard work and dedication. :)

Doesn't Grittykitty have a user specific title: "Forever 16-bit"?

I would definitely dig user set titles, but I do not know what that entails.
Yea, I know I have seen the "Forever 8-bit" before, but it was with some of the first members.

Same here apologies, I tend to go in different tangents. Hope my tangents add positive info on some forgotten gems of 8 bit computers, the first transition from console to today's PCs and Macs.

C64 was the first "gaming" I ever did! And Hey Taxi and Ultamite Wizard were my favorites! Along with the Streetbeat or Streetbox game (you walked around with a boom box), and some game where you flew through tunnels with a jet pac.
I want to play ultamite wizard again before I die...
That "Tunnel" game maybe Master of the Lamps?
Or the landing sequence level in C64 Aliens?

Another unique game, Web Dimesion. 8-Bit music gaming before REZ.

I just asked my older sister, it was H.E.R.O.

I'm about to cry tears of joy, I just played Ultimate wizard with an emulator. I need to find me a real C64...

Glad I inspired you! Real credit actually goes to "Lord_Santa" and his Avatar.

Another one of a kind C64 game! I have hit my head with a hammer a lotta times.

Yes, he does, and all of you can have your titles changed using the Admin control panel. However only admins can access this. The mods cannot, our access level exists on a plane above normal users and below admins. Racketboy et al have more important matters to attend to than changing your titles. Sorry.

It may be a possibility that titles could be changed as a reward for input into the community. This may be something Racketboy would be interested in doing. However, simply requesting a title change is a sure fire way of not receiving one! So don't pester him! If you have valued input into the community it will be recognised, I promise.

Ah, that makes sense. I see what you meant by impossible now.
