Jake in the desertHuge thanks to @phreakmonkey for Solar Fox on C64! 🔥👊
Brian Nicar@jake4480 @phreakmonkey Nice! I wanted a C64 so bad when I was a kid. I ended up doing all right, but there was something so professional about it... ;>)
@wendigo @phreakmonkey 😂🤣 yeah, I never had one either! I think they were way more popular/available in Europe than they were in the USA, too.
Blessd are the Chessemakers 🌱@jake4480 @wendigo @phreakmonkey C64 was my first computer! I was super lucky that my parents got it for me, and also that they let me spend so much time sequestered in my room with it. Do you have one of these working somewhere?
@coreysnipes @wendigo @phreakmonkey okay admittedly, I don't. But I plan to haha. I have many other older consoles (SNES, N64, Intellivision, GameCube, Dreamcast, PS2, Wii, etc etc), I have a game room, and C64 has always fascinated me. So it's just a matter of time 😂
@jake4480 @wendigo @phreakmonkey nice! No judgement here. I have a few aspirational projects myself. Sounds like a worthy endeavor.
@coreysnipes @wendigo @phreakmonkey I think so. Because they also recently put out that C64 mini, which was supposedly pretty easily hackable (like the NES, SNES and PS1 ones I've done) - and they actually ENCOURAGE hacking on those. But I was never able to find one around at a decent price, and I figure I might find the actual console before that haha
@jake4480 Here's hoping. And you can revisit the 300-baud BBS glory days while you're at it... https://www.ebay.com/itm/277794072832?_trksid=p2332490.c101875.m1851
