I used to love Archon on C64 back in the day, and Archon II Adept.

I could never get any of those Commodore tape drive games to work.

What cartridge based ones I had were fun.

I used to love Archon on C64 back in the day, and Archon II Adept.

So many fond memories. I was in the Air Fore from 82 to 86 in computer repair when the C64 came out. I had a vic 20 at first but sold it to one of my buddies. Had the c64 for a while and for us young guys in the shop it was great. We all got subsidized for housing/food etc so we had disposable income to buy computers. we would have big game parties...everyone would bring their rigs to someone's house and play. I must have days on that thing learning to program in basic and playing games etc. It really was the launching point for my whole IT career. I think i sold the c64 to another buddy and got an Atari ST (maybe?).

One of my first jobs out of the Air force I ended up getting to buy an Compaq portable computer when the company was done with it. Kind of like the size of a small suitcase with tiny monitor built right in. Learned dos real well on that and wrote several apps in Turbo Pascal.

Great times!
