I too have a mint condition C64. I remember when I upgraded I wanted to through it out but I decided to keep it and I am glad I did. I was young and stupid and since then I have realized to never through anything out you never know when you are going to need a 2 gig drive or a jumper off of an old HD or something I am slowly developing a whole cabinent of just spare parts not to mention a room full of other crap.
Well I go back to IBM 360 mainframes ............ALGOL60 and FORTRAN 4E............all 80 column punched cards...........

I had Battletech on my C64 - unfortunately it became collateral damage when my first wife and I split - she gave it the old gravity test.
More good games memories:
Atari 2600 Pinball
The first time you saw Pong, and the first time you figured out you could hang the game and let it play with itself forever...
The first time you saw Pac Man.
The first time you saw an Arcade! Woo!

I'm relatively young compared to some ppl here, but somehow I managed to be geeky enough to enjoy playing around with dos and really old comp games when I was a kid. I'm now so glad my parents never bought me a console even when I begged them for one (a sega megadrive :P).

Zx80 / Zx81 / Sinclair Spectrum/ BBC micro/ Audio tapes for data, good or bad? The only technology available at that time. How we have progressed. I find it difficult to keep updated week to week.
Hardware , software , and everything in between. Have decided to become a nun. G'Bye folks
Oooopsss forgot about Basic, Lisp, etc, etc, and of course our beloved DOS, which I still use
