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 really need to retrobrite my C64C, but I've seen several get really messed up in YT videos.

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.

Suspect was released 41 years ago today on Oct 5, 1984. It was written by Dave Lebling. It was Infocom's 15th game. You are a reporter who was framed for a murder while attending a Halloween party. You must discover who did this to you and fast. #Commodore #C64 #Commodore64 #Infocom #retrogaming

YES!!! That would be cool! Kind of like the ladder in the reference section of the library that is on an upper track and moves back and forth the long length of books.

You are correct with the ZX81 being PAL.

Yesterday I received my 1983 Northern Telecom Commodore Phone Limited Edition. I just did the unboxing and made my hardware collage. It was only available in Canada and only sold with the VICMODEM model 1600 and the VIC-1605 Adaptor Switch. #WeAreCommodore #Commodore #Commodore64 #C64

The only difference is the ZX81 came with only 1K of RAM and the TS1000 came with 2K of RAM.

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

Commodore is BACK! They have now gone over 10,000 new C64 sales! (two of those are mine) I LOVE this quote from them. "Together, weโ€™re not just reliving history, weโ€™re building the future together. Welcome to The future we were promised!" #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore #WeAreCommodore

Yes it was one of the few โ€œintroductoryโ€ level ones. Then there was standard level, advanced level and expert level. Only four of their 31 text games were leveled at expert.

Your friend Tamara invited you to her English Castle for a vacation. However, you are not the only guest, and soon you will be in the hunt for a hidden treasure! You'll also need to solve the mystery of a ghost which terrorizes Tamara late at night!

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.
