Thread: Commodore 64 still loved after all these years

(CNN) -- Like a first love or a first car, a first computer can hold a special place in people's hearts. For millions of kids who grew up in the 1980s, that first computer was the Commodore 64. Twenty-five years later, that first brush with computer addiction is as strong as ever.........

I just ordered one and I have a Mac IIe too.

I never got a C64, after years of asking my parents got me and my brother an Amiga500 instead

For it's time the C64 was a great machine, does anyone remember 4th & Inches on it? I played that game to death

I still have my TI 99-4/A.

"Tunnels Of Doom" was the cat's ass back in the day.

I had one of these back in the days. I wish I would of kept it. This thing took hours to load games from the diskdrive. Amazing how much computers and gaming has changed since then.

You were lucky if you had a disk drive, I only had a tape cassette deck with mine! It's a good job I had a reasonable attention span back then.
