I love 'the good old days' (c64/amiga/old PC...)
the scene and the games, and everything...
Anyone got any memories?

Also, I want this:

.... bad.
Anyone tried it? Someone has a pocket PC to spare?

This is so strange. A colleague emailed me re: C64 exactly
as this topic appeared...

Paul, if you're here, which user are you? :P

It's the Sounds Never Seen logo. Someone had to avatar it so
I chose it to be me. I drew that in MS paint in about 5
mins. }:>

I love the design. The 'Do you know squarepusher?' design is
one of my favs too.

I wish I had a c64 right now. I'm at school... Love the
soundchip.
for anyone who wasn't around back in the good old days
(which are known as 'the good old days' for A GOOD REASON),
just check out an amiga/c64 emulator...
I want a POCKET PC now! I never thought I'd need one... but
now I know I'd use it a lot if I had one. =)

I want a C64 connected to a keyboard but I have plenty to
work with right now so it's only a desire. Not important.

has anyone here played a C64 game by the name of
"Operation Firestart" ? It had a plot that was very
similar to the movie aliens. I don't seem to be able to find
much info or roms over the net ...

Aww, then I'd need to get one of those Pocket PC's :/

besides, the SX-64 can fit in your pocket.................

i knew someone who had the portable computer back when i was
10.. i thought it was shit back then but looking at it now..
what an antique!

the day i get frankie goes to hollywood working on an
emulator (it always crashed so far) ill be
out-of-my-skin-glad

some friends of mine do music using hacked up c64s as
synths, among other things. theyre total legends, my
favourite local electro act, no question.

Theres a synth made from the sid-chip - "Sid-station" -
quite cool, though I would prefer the software emulators
thats around nowadays.

I often use SIDplay for some sweet digital music!

This is one of the best advertises I have ever seen. It is
true.
It is funny, and yet it saids sooo much!
If you want to keep track of your kids, and in the meantime
turn them from "something unreliable" into super-geeks...
buy them an Amiga =)

This is the ad:

what's the point of living without an amiga?
you can get so much fun out of it.
I haven't got any amiga at the moment (never had one of my
own actually)...
I'm glad the emulators works fine =)

I don't understand your problem...
do you have a problem with the emulator or with your
browser?

I'm not sure I understand your problem.
You say your emulator is fine. But what has the emu got to
do with the downloading?

I think there are some info about what you need on the
site.
Also there are some roms on the amiga in a box site...
You need to download a kickstart rom unless you already have
it.
http://www.oldgames.it/ <-- a spanish site with old games
for Amiga/PC.
