The C64 was my first gaming love. I still have mine along with an Amiga stashed away.

Wasn't that.

It was a bit like, well, ecco the dolphin, in the sense that you had a submarine in which you had to go through underwater caves. It was side scrolling.

I managed to pick up a boxed C64 for £20.

It's older than me.

A stick with 1 button... the CoD players would go wild for that if it was re-released!

Wow that brings back happy memory's, I remember Pole position being one of my favourite games

Loved the c64 I had 2' the old fat one then the new slimline one and typing in pages of code from zzap 64!
10 print "Borley"
20 goto 10
Remember that code haha

Still have my C64 and tape deck - works as good as it always did. However the C64 logo has fallen off somewhere along the way.

Also, what's all this business about typing 'LOAD'? I always pressed 'Shift + RunStop' then it would say 'Press Play on Tape'. Magic!

I remember this fondly... It was sooo hard when young! :/ The music still freaks me out!!

Also I can't think C64 without thinking... Creatures 2!!

I could be here all night thinking about all the C64 games I love!

My dad bought me a C128 when I was 11 - does that count?

Loved it but remember sitting through ages trying to run games and for them to crash right near the end.

Lovely machine should never have sold it.
