Commodore going to start making high end PC's

the best ever add-on I had was the "Multiface 3"
red little button on the top, save the games to disk, so i didnt have to wait for 1/2 an hour for a game to load, loved the save game option too, get stick, do a quick save! :D
 
I hope the sound is provided by the sid chip. Also I hope they keep the loading system of having to wait ages for a game to load, only to have it crash cause of a mis-aligned tape deck or a skip in sound and you had to reload the game again. ;) :D

Oh the good old days, still got my commodore comps here: C64, Amiga, CD32.
 
My first PC was an Escom. Check out this beast:

They went into administration when my PC was in for repair - I had to get it back quick along with many other customers, else it could have been sold off :eek:

I had a MultiFace II for my Amstrad CPC464 - You could freeze the game and peek through the memory, making changes to get infinite lives (changing DEC A opcode for NOP or whatever it was :p)

I'd remove that image it's a competitor :p :p :D

As to the Commodore name being used on gaming PC's, let's face it, it's an underhanded Marketing ploy that has nothing what so ever to do with the history of one of the great innovators of Home computing :(

It really hacks me off when somebody buys a name and then uses it in a way that has nothing in common with it's original existence, just to make a quick buck.

At home I still have;

Vic 20
Commodore 64 (with 1541 Disk Drive)
Amiga 500
Amiga 1200 (with a 68040 accelerator and 4 meg of RAM)
CD32 with SX1 expansion (and the rarest of rare The MPEG decoder plugin unit) :o

I was a bit of a Commodore freak in my early days. To this day there is nothing better than the experience of playing Bards Tale, Buck Rogers (The TSR roleplay adaptation) or Curse of the Azure Bonds on the Commodore 64, or the hours spent drooling over Shadow of the Beast or Alien Breed on the Amiga.

I know I'm sad but it's very rare that a game these days motivates me in quite the same way.
 
I had a C64 and a C128. The best games for it were Wasteland and Paradroid.

My mate bought an Escom PC in 1994. Pentium 120 with 8mb memory. It cost just shy of £1200 :eek:
 
:D I almost bought a P60 but they had heat issues so I went for a P90 instead :) Even that crashed all the time but I blame Windows 95 :mad:
 
I went for a p75, big mistake they were pap. Still have it too
I had a motherboard with optional plug in level 3 cache, something we dont have now ?
