You can download C64 emulators to play commodore games on your PC.
Just google "c64 emulator".

I used to run one on XP, not sure if they work on Win 7 though......

I still have my old C64. I start it up every 5th year or so and play "The Detective" and "Theatre Europe".

My best friend, and oldest war-gaming nemesis, has my old C-64 (and his too) in working condition.

Reminds me of the story of the guy who dropped his wallet in the store....Store manager realized it, retrieved the wallet...and beat on his plate glass window to attract the wallets' owner as best he could....with a handkerchief!!



Nice to see you dropping by Elf..Glad you are safe..(Hope to think you have retired or gone commercial by now......)

Good to see Elf dropping by, as well. Elf doesn't like to toot his own trumpet, but some of the guys at Pensacola tell me that Lt. Commander Ian "ELF" Kibler is with the test and evaluation squadron VX-9, in bee-you-tee-ful downtown China Lake in the middle of the Mojave freakin desert. They think that's a pretty hot posting (pun intended) and some smart money thinks he's well on his way to a silver chicken.

I got an IBM PC (with the unbelievable memory of 64k ) like the first month it was out. Don't have that anymore either. An Epson dot matrix printer too. It worked. It was reliable. It wasn't pretty though.

Now you tell me!!! Oh, well mom threw out all my old baseball cards, I threw out all my old computers when the town started recycling them. All the day before I needed them. Such is life.

Fighting Steel worked fine on my windows 7 HP...I have not played it in 2 years but there was a site I downloaded a huge mod for it from which MIGHT have done something to make it work?..I just never had any issues with that great game.....

Nobody asked for it here so I gave it away.

My favorite games were mostly strategy games and some arcade. I can remember Europe Ablaze, Panzer Battles, Decision in the Desert, Sid Myers Pirates and Elite. Just to name a few.

I believe you have the map to Captain Kidd's treasure. Can I have it? I'll give you a nickel.

I had a 128, a 128D and 2 1571's used for work with GEOS (and a whole lot of play ). A buddy gave me a large box of disks with well over a hundred games in it. Like an idiot, I sold it all (ridiculously cheap) when I got my first 486/25 machine.

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb..............

Summer Games, Winter Games, Leaderboard, Project Space Station, Zak McKraken, Red Storm Rising.

Dumb.....
