Commodore 64!!!

Cmon, admit it. YOU ALL OWNED ONE at some point in your life.

Question is...what game did you MOSTLY play on?

Me, it would have to be T2-Judgement day or Football manager 2

Re: Commodore 64!!!

I had a VIC 20, its predecesor ( Couldn't afford a C64 back then )


You can download emulators for PCs and even phones now to play all the old games.


On my mates I liked "attack of the mutant camels" and "revenge of the mutant camels " by Jeff Minter( strange how a name sticks in your memory, thats been in there for nearly 20 yeras now!)

May the fleas of a thousand camels infect your armpits forever!!!!

Re: Commodore 64!!!

We used to have a VIC-20 too. My dad bought this book on how to program the v-20 to let you play games using the run:/ thingimajiggi!

We used to sit up all night playing russian roulette lol

Re: Commodore 64!!!

I had a Spectrum 48k, which was a modded upgrade to the original 16k. I was so proud.

Later on I got an original beige coloured Commodore 64 and loved playing Bruce Lee on it. It was like a two player game and loads of fun.

Re: Commodore 64!!!

My brother and I shared a 64, I used to love playing a game on it but i can't remember what it was called. It was this little man thingy that climbed the steps up the side of a tower, Had to dodge stuff to get to the top. I never got much further than that so can't discribe any more, lol.
