Didn't know about the d/l capability.

Most of the games I played on the "Comode-a-dor" was Infocom stuff. Zork, Deadline, etc.

Learned to program in basic, got an assembler and did some machine language stuff on the 64.

BUT, the neatest thing was to put an e-prom in it, wire a switch to look at the ram UNDERNEATH the ROM when a game cartridge was installed, make copies of the games, take out the LDA, STA commands that would screw up the game if it were running in RAM but not ROM (copy-protection), and make copies of game cartridges on floppy disk. Give it the old "Load < gamename >,8,1" command, and away you'd go!

FOR ARCHIVAL PROPERTIES ONLY, of course.

I had many of those uh...archival..programs back then. Remember cutting the notch in the floppys so you could use both sides?

The emulators work real well, you can run most any C64 game on your pc, its cool. If you play Grand Theft Auto Vice City on your PC, it starts with the C64 sign on screen!

As for uh..archival... programs today, no comment, but I do enjoy shopping in Bangkok...:->
