RE: TIL: The Commodore 64 is undead

in #til7 years ago

I had the commodore with the cassette player. My buddy had the one with the discs, and another friend had the Amiga 500 (which had great sound i remember). I remember biking over to my friend (at the age 7-10), just the excitement of playing computer games. We usually met up at the local candy store and bought some candy for nickels, then we hurried to his parents basement where the commodore was. We hid down there for hours playing, jamming the joysticks. Not even with amazing modern games could I ever relive the feeling I had playing those early games. After a few hours his father usually kicked us out, and we ran around in the forest exploring. As we grew older we played games like heroes of might and magic and diablo on PC. To me those early days of gaming was pure magic. The feeling lives with me to this day. Sometimes when I feel real happy, I suddenly start thinking of those days. :)

Great story. Thanks a lot for sharing. I know exactly what you're talking about! :-))

Thank you so much :) I truly hope kids today (as I have a 3 year old my self) experience the same things. I'm not so sure..but hopefully there are some kids out there who play games togheter, run wild and just are 100% happy and carefree. I rarely see it, but I'm sure they must exist.

It's a bit different these days: The pace is much higher and the kids are easily getting impatient, because there is so much of this stuff right now. I guess, times have pretty much changed. But I pretty much hope, that todays kids will have their own great memories one day :-)
