this was back in the early nighties; I've moved about 10 times since then, between countries 3 times =) I've lost anything Commodore 64/my life -related stuff until 2003-2004
I found an Xbox360 amongst the electricity-trash (dumpster comes twice/year to pick up the neighborhood-hardware, etc.)
it was RROD, but I used my (not recommended) towel/freezer-trick; and brought it back to life
then I tested it for a couple of days, I decided that I didn't have any use of 2 Xbox360's; since I simply couldn't find enough LAN games for it
so I traded it for a DreamCast; which is the first time I've owned/played seriously a DreamCast
needless to say; that was the best trade I've made =)
Painful losing that custom steering wheel and gearbox.
Congrats on the Dreamcast purchase. Tons of great games as well as one of the better home brew consoles. You can even play "C64" Giana Sisters on the Dreamcast.
