lacaio 🇧🇷🏴☠️🇸🇴I’ve spent many hours walking down memory lane with the Commodore 64 Ultimate, and it’s wondrous if sometimes intimidating

ace_garpPerrifractic may very well actually do that; he seems to have as much love for the A500 as he does for the C64.

If Perry drops the A500 ultra, were honour bound to buy it :)
He seems a solid character, doing it for the right reasons.
I’ve been tossing up getting an Amiga since '91, only playing intensively on a friends one through the early 90s.
I would totally get an A500 Ultimate, then play about a week straight of North and South.
The Amiga was a magic machine back in the day. So many good memories for me. I’m glad others had their own slice of that.
As for me; I have to say I got the A500 mini (reproduction thing), then later sold it. Very few of the games hold up…but the ones that do, really do. Dunno if N&S would be on my desert island list - probably Settlers, Moonstone and the like. But yeah, you’ve got good taste :)
I was forced to bin my original C64, tape deck, disk drive, joysticks, a couple of printers (one was a daisy wheel lol), many many games and apps and my own projects etc. It still saddens me thinking about it.
These stories rub a bit of salt in the wound but it’s pretty cool that there’s still interest in them. They were a fantastic thing - easy to use for the basics, powerful enough that once you moved past those basics (and BASIC itself) it still had plenty to offer. And crucially, in a modern context, it’s not so advanced that it leaves nothing for you to do - you still need to figure things out for yourself, and there’s a lot of satisfaction in figuring out a hack to make it do something. So good.
I’m tempted to get one but that’s a rabbit hole I’m not sure I have the time for these days!
