I have loved computers since my Timex Sinclair 1000 in 1982. Then my #C64 that I got for Xmas in 1983, which I still use. #Commodore64 #Commodore #RetroComputing #retrogaming #retrogames
Hello fellow C64 lovers. I have started The Commodore 64 Ultimate Owners Group on FB to get owners help with the C64U. I'm hoping to make a friendly group where owners of the new C64U can ask and get answers to their questions about the new C64U. facebook.com/share/g/189g... #C64 #Commodore64

SWEET!!! It is such a GREAT CRT monitor. I use two of the 1902 CRT monitors with my C128DCR. Great for the new games that can use dual screen like EOTG and Attack of the PETSCII robots.

It is a GREAT 8-bit computer, and I LOVE the ones I have in my commodore collection. The C128DCR is an AMAZING thing of beauty.

Yes I LOVE Infocom games. It’s my 2nd best collection.

I have always LOVED space games / space 4X games. This one was so good for its time.

Thank you for those kind words. I feel it is most defiantly the BEST room in the house.

Now that I have lots of extra space, I have been able to use the wall opposite my main display wall in the room that should be the dining room. I'm using it for my extra Commodore CRT monitors, disk drives and 8-bit computers. #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore

Could I not use my 1084s, 1084Ss, 1902s & 1902As that all have a RGBi input. I can use all 8 of these CRT with my real Amiga 1200.

They have made several games in the last few years that actually use both the C128s video outputs at the same time. The VIC-II chip for 40 column and the VDC chip for 80 column. So games like EOTB & Attack of the PETSCII robots use both screens having the game map always up on one screen.

SAME!!!

I use to watch his repair videos all the time. Along with Adrian from Adrians digital basement, Neil from RMC, Wolfgang from Retro is the new black, Jan Beta & Noel’s Retro Lab. I loved their retro computer repairs so much that I bought this setup even though had never soldered before.

I got my C64 Breadbin for Xmas 1983 making mine turn 42 in 3 weeks. It still works great and has always been set up on the desk I built for it in 11th grade wood shop.

I received an email order status update from Commodore. It now shows that my BASIC Beige C64U status has changed to "Assembled in Transit to your Local Commodore Hub". It looks like I'll be having something very nice under my Xmas tree this year! #Commodore64 #C64 #WeAreCommodore #Commodore

No that is 100% Commodore 8-bit computers. If you’re talking about the one to the far right it is the Commodore C128DCR.

Thank you for the follow. I just followed you. I see you really like 8-bit computers from your bio. My Amiga 1200 of course is not 8-bit, so I have it set up in its own area. Here is my Commodore 8-bit collection. #Commodore #Commodore64 #C64 #WeAreCommodore

I have setup my Amiga 1200 and just finished cleaning it up by adding the stand I made for the flat screen and doing cable management using zip ties. It is set up in my new large are that had been my ex-wife's craft room. My A1200 has the Vampire V1200v2 accelerator card. #Amiga #Commodore

This was an OK game on our C64 computers. I like the comic book type of storytelling in areas and also that it did have 3 levels of gameplay.

I got my 1st ever Amiga, an A1200 in July 2019. Here it is and also here is my Commodore 8-bit collection.

I still have my C64 Breadbin from Xmas 1983 (it's the one in my post) and I have preordered the other two editions of the C64 Ultimate to support Commodore now that they are back.

I truly LOVE the look of the Commodore 64 Breadbin! I prefer it over the look of the C64C and its wedge case. Taking a straw poll, you are being given a C64 and can choose a C64 Breadbin or C64C, which to you pick and why. #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore #WeAreCommodore
