I'm proud to have a C64 under my bed.

C64 came out (retail) about 5 months after I was born... by the time I was 3 I was playing batman the caped crusader (and finishing the thing) on the C64. It was my first step into gaming and something that will stick with me forever, amazing computer and i'm made up Commodore are back!

Ah yes, the 1541... the noisiest space heater ever made!My TV to this day consists of a VCR connected to my Commodore 1702 monitor. VCRs have come and gone, but the monitor is as good as new -- well, the plastic case was broken when it flew across the room and smashed into a solid oak desk during the 1989 earthquake (I was three miles from the epicenter; it was like a bomb -- no warning -- but went on for 30 seconds).They don't make monitors like that workhorse these days!

I've also experienced MSX, the old Atari 2600 eventhough I didn't have them. Same goes for Playstation (and PS2), Xbox (and 360). I considered buying a PS3 (technically superior), but my mind is set on Xbox360 just to play games. But you can do so much with a PC nowadays, you'd be stupid to neglect yourself to excell in a certain area (for instance music).

Eventhough my dad had a PC, eventually I got one myself (when Doom came out). DOS, Norton Commander are all too familiar to me. Today I have a Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz, EVGA 680i SLI, Nvidia Geforce 8800GT, 2GB 800Mhz DDR2, 600GB WD Stripe, Samsung 22" SyncMaster, Logitech Z10, Logitech G7.

C64 got me familiar to the world of computing (and programming from magazines, and the world of hex/dec), and games - I had a SX-64 (upgraded with high-speed diskdrive, and final cardridge 3). Amiga took it another step further with the graphics and music capabilities (I learned to write music using protracker) - I had an A500 and eventually the more perfected A1200 (with HD). And I had an Atari Mega-STE running CUBASE, and music equipment (Roland synth/module).

I was brought up using a C64 and I've experienced, and watch computers evolve up to today. But the C64 is where it all started, it familiarized people with computers that are programmable, utilizing its full potential in sound and graphics. The Amiga was a natural successor. Both were equally good and impressive in their time. Atari was comparable to amiga in some ways (amiga being more popular/superior except for MIDI). |
