Who had any idea that there was still so much interest in the Commodore 64?
Ironstone Partners, which licensed the Commodore 64 brand from Tulip Computers, has confirmed that it is planning on charging a subscription fee for access to C64 resources, in a bid to help the company become "the guardian angel" of the brand.
The C64, which according to "Guinness World Records" is still the best-selling computer ever, was launched in the early '80s alongside classic home computer systems such as the BBC Micro model B and the Sinclair Spectrum. Today the brand is kept alive by some 6 million enthusiasts in a vibrant online community.
Jeez, I had one of those, back in (mumble mumble mumble).

Yeah, I had one as well. I still fondly remember it as one of my favorite geeky experiences. It was my first computer. w00t!
I loved Jumpman.
I have an emulator copy of it for my PC ... but it's just not the same.
Jumpman. *sniffle* We used to play that on a tape drive when my brother would bring his C64 over to the house and we'd hook it up to the TV.
An emulator for the PC? I...no. It just wouldn't be the same.
I had a C128 too. Loved that machine as well.
Emulators don't do it for me -- I had a Coleco one a while back that just felt...wrong.
c64s were Da Bomb!
