    Commodore 64 Makes a Comeback

    Nice, you've been finding some interesting news! The first system I really got familiar with was the Atari, and I never got a chance to check out the Commodore 64. How does it compare to the other older systems?

    Cool

    Ahhhh, many memories come flooding back with the mention of the old C64....

    I was reminded of it recently when I bought GTA-VC on the PS2. The 'software developer' screen came up and I was looking at the back cover - until I heard the familiar 'clickety-click' of the old keyboards.

    For those who have absolutely no idea what I'm on about, it comes up with the old 'blue screen' and the typing is

    LOAD "Vice City" [enter]

    then it comes up with a real flashback;

    PRESS PLAY ON TAPE

    Freakin' priceless.

    Thanks for the info - I'll follow with great interest.....
