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
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 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

A different version of the game on each side of the disk. Just like some games I bought were C64 and Atari with one on the backside. The drives were single sided so if you added a write protection notch you could use the back side.

Not sure but I will always have good memories of my 1st computer. A Timex Sinclair 1000 that I bought myself in 1982 with $100 from my part time job at McDonalds (started at $3.25 per hour). I taught myself BASIC on that computer.

I will be doing an unboxing video. Show my Xmas 1983 C64 Breadbin being moved from its desk of 42 years to being wall hung. Then placing my new Founders edition onto the desk, connecting it to the 1702 CRT monitor and the 1st power up. #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore

Here is a sample of meals I've been eating for the last 22 weeks. If you are not eating carbs, junk food and snacks but instead healthy protein and lots of vegetables, 1200 calories will be a lot of food and will feel you up.

Even though I'm now up to at least 12-mile walks daily I feel the 1200 calorie diet had the biggest part of my weight loss. I ate so much and not healthy stuff. Lots of carbs and junk food. Here are some samples of what my meals have been for the last 22 weeks.

Well now! Thank you for teaching me something. All the times I've played it, and I never got the Zork universe vibe but thought it was a place in our universe. Thanks again! Did you play the Enchanter trilogy? Here is some of my collection.

spentdthose? Here are some of my low-calorie heathy meals I've been eating for the last 5 months. The top row left, and center is what I have for breakfast each day. It has 30g of protein and only 150 calories. They are SO GOOD!

Yes, it is easier because it's at the lowest level called introductory. No, it's not part of the Zork universe, I'm pretty sure you are thinking about the Enchanter trilogy that is in fact set in the Zork universe. I thought all 3 were hard! They are leveled at 1 of each Standard, Advances & Expert.
