In January 1982 the Commodore 64 was revealed to the world at CES in Las Vegas...

...44 years ago

Should this merit a film about the Commodore 64 and its history?

The little handover guides and between #indiedev working on a game are always so cool, and often not seen. This is a sheet made by our artist, explaining the components of a tileset for a new level in www.hypersentinelfusion

Hey #WishlistWednesday 🕹
Remember when games came in gorgeous boxes? When you cracked open a fresh, full-colour manual packed with tips and jaw-dropping artwork? When a floppy disk with that spring-loaded metal shutter snapped with perfection?

Woke up early, turned the volume down, and it was 1987 all over again.

Had a tidy-up of the man cave and (mostly) retro station: Mega Drive, Evercade console, Switch, OSSC (for the MD), Sony CD player, Shanling headphone amp, early gen Apple TV.
Amazing some of this is 30+ years old and still works perfectly!

Ripcord for the Atari 1040ST. I was so addicted to that game.

Luckily, I've got my SD2IEC plugged in and FASTLOAD cartridge inserted to test this one out with. No waiting 10 minutes for a tape to load for me.😂 ... So, it looks like I'm gaming like it's 1982 tonight. I just have to ask, what games does everyone recommend I check out to play.🤔

Who remembers the golden age of video gaming in the 80s? ... Drop your top games below and let's take a trip back!🎮🕹️ ... Gotta ask though, was the playground rivalry #Commodore64 vs #ZXSpectrum really that bad back in the 1980s? As can't believe some seem to hold that very grudge still today lol😏🤼‍♂️

I’ve been testing these for some time. It’s a fast-moving market and so I wanted sub-$200 budget units that’ll last. But I do also outline alternatives.
