This is one of 4 keyboards I have. I also have the 128 keyboard which my dad still has.
IMO the 1541 is the best drive of the C64 range. Its so retro looking
Heres the 1571 drive.
I have filing draws to keep the disks. Four draws full of floppies
A Fastload Cartridge
The power pack
A collection of joysticks
This one is my favourate! River Raid look out
This is a list I printed out of some of my favourate games I had from A to Z. One page contains about 200 games. There are 7 pages. Thats 1400 games I played the most. Last time I did a count I had over 2000 programes
The cassette player. Wack in a tape to load before school, come back home ready to play
C64 was ahead of the times. My Dad use to do his invoices on the 128D
Yes I did try to programme games of my own. How poor was I
Hello Greenroom. We are speaking to you from the future. The year is 2008. How did you manage to find our internet forum without an internet connection the internet?
Wow. Nice little piece of history there. Never throw it away. I *think if I go through my dad's garage I might find an old Atari 800 of earlier vintage. Not sure if it works though. Anyone remember this game? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Raiders
haha That brings back memories of when I was in year two in 1998 and 1999 yes I repeated We had on of those in our class room at skool and we always played it great games some of them.
I've got an Atari (& 35? game cassettes) setup in my lounge room for the rugrats to play, although my 4yo has had a taste of PS2.....doesn't want to play the Atari anymore!
(I didn't know the C64 came with disk drives??? We hired one for a weekend once.....the tape setup......spent the whole weekend writing code for sounds, shotgun blast, dog bark etc. and playing 'never-ending-story', having to stop to turn the tape over)

You like the rainbow flag do you Mr. Room? Is there something you're not telling us? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
64KB RAM - hardcore. The first computer we got was a 386, it had a whopping 8MB RAM and 120MB HDD. We didn't have any sort of game console, I had to raid my friends' houses after school if I ever wanted to play Atari or the like.
I too had a C64 - sooo upmarket compared to the vic20 - "how can you tell someone has been using a vic20 as a word processor - liquid paper on the screen!"
Favourite games were - dam busters, f15 strike eagle and beach head
mum said i can come over after school if i do all my home work . i can double down you down to the milk bar i have 50cents to spend if i can play with your c64 or we could just go for a surf . still got my 70s mk1 chopper and the girl has a melvin star dragstar that we ride every day .
Greeny, I could just imagine you in primary school with your vision street wear on the Steve Caballero skateboard under the arm and your collection of betta videos to go with your commodore 64, atari's, and vic 120.
I have 100's of ZZAP64 magazines all boxed up. I remember running down to the newsagent and buying the latest copy for the cheats. Nebs thanks for those links. Already got the CCS64 and WINVICE C64 emulators. Its alot easier to use the emulator than to go out to the shed and fire up the old C64. But its still fun to throw in a floppy disk now and then and play Boulder Dash or Pit Stop retro style

Ah the chopper. Whens the next cruise through town? I wanna come. Get myself on Channel 31 Ive been scanning the bulk rubbish collections for a chopper to restore. Ive almost caved in and just gone to the bike shop to buy a new one... but its not the same. They just dont have that soul. For now I can use my sk8tie. Tie a rope to your chopper and we can do a coast run on a fine day

Were you spying on me Hawkie? I also remember having a Schmitt Stix, Christian Hosio, Rob Roskopp and a Powell Perelta Lords of Dog Town eat your heart out
That is so fricken cool greenroom. I remember owning an amiga 3000, which was well ahead of it's time IMHO, unfortunately it's long gone now, I loved that machine. I'm amazed you have kept your c64 intact and in working order. I'm going to post this to all the computer nerds I know.
Do yo have a facebook account - I want to be your freind?
