I have a C64, a 1541 a C2N and 300 games. Oh and a Quickshot joystick - so don;t need this 30-in-1. However, anything to get the C64 known! Seems if you were a COMPUTER in the 80's you are forgotten, but if you were a console it was you that invented gaming! Grrrr!
@HardWarUK Next to this device I had 3 x 1541 disk drives, a couple of C2Ns and my now dead C64 that I am going to be replacing.
The consoles that did get me into videogaming were a PONG and a Videopac/Odyssey2 console. Then we got a c64 in the house and that basically was my main machine for years. Well into the nineties.
The NES/Snes and other consoles I bought in the early nineties - a little after their commercial life.
Consoles have CPU & RAM so do Computers. I don't really take sides
@HardWarUK One of my new year's resolitions is to spend more time on my old computer systems like the MSX, C64, Spectrum. I plan on obtaining some other ones: 8 and 16 bit. :)
@markvergeer Excellent news. But just because a console has a CPU and RAM doesn't make them the same. What makes them totally different is the keyboard. meaning on C64 you had flight sims, like Gunship, with the keyboard overlay. You had the excellent Infocom text adventures (and all the other great one's too!). Also, because a computer is more sophisticated and able to do more things (word processing, printing, etc), you had more sophisticated games , like Alter Ego, Sentinel and Elite!
@HardWarUK The Computers/PC allow far more complicated control schemes than the consoles. Even today's that's absolutely right. That's why I have computers (old ones) and quite an up to date gaming PC at my disposal!
I hate rootkit/copyprotection schemes on most modern PC games though.
Are those Suzo sticks rare? Were they ever sold in North America?
