If this reminds you of lots of fun in your childhood and if you're a nostalgia junkie then this should be a nice toy for you beside the well-known software emulators... the Commodore 64 DTV (Direct-to-TV)... a Competition Pro/5000 joystick with a built-in C64 and 30 games inside :D

Holy shit! When I read the title I even had the VOICE in my head! LOL. Such memories...

I still have my third Commodore along with the original 5 1/2" floppy drive (lost the power supply though). I started on the Vic 20 got a C-64 and ended up getting a 128 as a gift years later. Such work to even get anything to load off one of those:

Load"*",8 ... wait 90 seconds for a directory... the tape players were far worse.

My first gaming expirience was on a Commodore PET computer. Adventure. Then came Zork. By the time the C-64 came out strong Apple II-E was the way to go and Ultima was raving. What did they get to (Exodus Ultima 8?) before Ultima Online was released a few years ago on PC? Vive le Difference! :D

Thanks a bunch for the memories, Jelly!
