We still have our old C-64 in the basement of my parents' house. I got really good at playing the fast-paced Jumpman game (by Epyx) on it. But if I were to fire up the old beast now and try playing the game again, I'd probably end up swearing at it for being so slow!

Ya, that was a very good computer in its day. Good for learning Basic Programming. Just before that was the Vic-20 by Commodore, which was almost identical, except for the memory amount. Hooked up to any TV.

I had the Congo Bongo game and the hard to find Kickman or (Kick - can't remember). I won't doubt if some people are still using it. Commodore's follow up to this was the Amiga 500, which had what we commonly call "windows" today, and it was in a ROM chip.
