Okay, figured out keyboard. Had to bind Kybd B. Weird. I need to get me one of those Atari Joystick USB adapters so I can play like the good 'ole days.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Should probably only get the games already owned. Thanks for all the C64 and emu tips. C64 games are a blast from the past, for sure! Very cool

I must be the only person who never owned a C64. Everyone I know, had one.

I almost bought a C128, though.

I think you hit the nail on the head on that one Kia for the tv game converter. Where you hook it up through the coax cable. Usually Radio shack will have them if not them then you will have to find those specialty stores that radio shack would get them at. I have seen like maybe a couple over here that I know of. But I think they are mostly gone by now for those kind of conenction. Traahb do you want me to take a look up here and find out for you. Just for sake of it when I get a chance to go down to one??

Thanks for the offer, CompuCore, but we have Radio Shacks all over down here. I've heard a statistic where there's a Radio Shack within 5 miles of 90% of the population in the US, or something crazy like that. Serious. The statistic was that *whoa! are you serious??* eye-opening. I have one within a mile or two of me.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

There are definitely some classics there. Of the ones you listed, I loved Karataka, Test Drive, Archon II, Bruce Lee, Rambo, Impossible Mission, Winter Games, Aztech Challenge, Beach Head 2, Boulder Dash, Lode Runner, Conan, Ghost Busters, Space Taxi, Stealth, Tetris. I'm not sure I've played the others.

Others I loved back in the day:
The Last Ninja 1, 2 - I can't remember which one I liked better, but I remember being impressed. Was sometimes hard to pick up objects in the environment and to do jumping puzzles (a joystick would help), but I liked it You were a ninja running around in an oriental landscape environment; taking out other ninjas with your throwing stars and nunchakas (sp?)
Moebius - A very unique adventure game where you get placed on a map and you have to go do stuff. Not sure how to explain it. It looks lame at first, but if you delve into it, it's pretty interesting. I liked how it would sometimes rain, or I think get dark, too. Days would pass. Never played a game like that before. The fights were done in a style that is similar to Karateka.
Labyrinth - Adventure game by Lucasfilm, modeled after the movie w/ the same title. I think my main liking was b/c I liked the movie.
Rescue on Fractalus - Fly a spaceship around a Mars-like planet and rescue downed pilots. First game to use fractals, if I remember correctly.
The Pawn - Adventure game. Great graphics for the time. Text entry system to move and interact with the game. Static pictures used.
Amazon - Another adventure game with static pictures as the graphics. I guess I liked adventure games, lol. Text entry system to move and interact with the game.
Uridium - Fast action side-scrolling spaceship flying game where you shoot spaceships and stuff.
Parallax - I just added this one. Uridium reminded me. Another spaceship flying game that tests your reflexes.
Wizball - This one was fun to play with a friend. You control one thing (the main character?), your friend controls the other (an orb that flies around and protects you as well as collects stuff, maybe?). I can't remember, but it was fun coordinating efforts. I think you had to mix colors, or collect all of one color. Something to do with colors anyways.
7 Cities of Gold - Set sail from Europe and land at the New World. Exploration game. Establish new lands.
Defender of the Crown - OMG, totally cool for its time. I loved this game. Kind've like Risk, but not really. More interactive. Lay siege to castles, take over territories, go looting enemy castles, etc.
Forbidden Forest 1, 2 - If you've never played before, part 2 will be more palatable. I remember they marketed part 2 as being in "4-D". In part 1, it was side scrolling adventure where you shoot weird creatures, but there was no true feeling of depth on the screen. In part 2, the "4-D" aspect brought depth and better graphics.
Demon Stalkers - Similar to Gauntlet. Had a lot of fun playing this one with friends. It was a cooperative effort, but there was an element of competition to be the first one to explore new rooms, grab new keys, etc.
Spy vs Spy - Modeled after the MAD comicbook characters. This game was cool. Never played any other game like it. You would hide a briefcase of money somewhere and then plant traps real time as the enemy (your friend) searches for the briefcase. The enemy can disarm traps. I think if the enemy finds the briefcase, then they have to escape before you get to them.
Marble Madness - Guide a marble around a labyrinth of puzzles and mazes. Interesting.
Infiltrator - I'm not sure if I liked this very much on the C64; but I did like it on the Amiga 500.
Dino Eggs - You get teleported to historic times. You have to combine wood sticks to make fire, which hatches dinosaur eggs You then jump over the hatchlings to cage them; and then teleport to other

You try Archon II? I loved that game.

I updated my list above with descriptions of each. I don't expect you to read them, but if you do... thanks! and I hope they help. I'm going from memory on all those, so I might be a little off on some -- or lacking in details.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Thanks for the descriptions. I read them all, and it did help on the ones that I didn't know about.

7 Cities Of Gold, and Heart Of Africa both were very entertaining games and ever educational. On 7 Cities of Gold, I use to set up came in the new world, leave about 50 to 100 men there with one days of rations... lol... I was relentless. I would try to still gold for the tribes or assinate their cheif... Then they would kill me before I had a chance to excape... lol...

PitStop and PitStop 2 rocked.... I also have played Archon II but had trouble getting use to the game. Now since you sparked my interest, I'm going to play it tonight when I get back from work...

I should spend some time giving descriptions to some on my list too sometime.

I used to be the same with my APPLE ][e clone over here too when I had it. I still have the original software over ehre. But the machine has long gone since then. Ihave only the 5.25 diskettes over here. With something like close to 100-200 game combined. I kind of understand what your feeling though with the C64.

Okay, I finally had a chance to open the C64 again. This time I took the keyboard out (bunch of tiny screws holding it in) and cleaned everything as best I could. Plugged it back in and..... (drum roll)... *success!!* The keys now work as they should! Some of them don't register as well as they should (have to hit the space bar a couple times to get it to work, for instance... but the keyboard at least works now!

But, as you suspected, another problem reared its ugly head. I tried loading 5 different games, and none of them were recognized Each time I tried, the disk drive would look on the disk, but then give the generic error that it can't find anything on the disk. ARRRGH! So close, yet so far away. I hope it's the disk drive, and not the diskettes that have the problem. I know stored media isn't normally permanent, but these old games should still work in the year 2006, right? I've always been careful to keep them away from magnets. Okay, now does anyone have any advice on fixing the disk drive?
TheReelTodd - That's a very nice looking C64 set up there! Mine's not even anywhere close to being so pristine! Well done. I don't have a C64 monitor; the disk drive doesn't match the console, etc. Mine's just way ugly looking

PS: I saw the disk today, it's "Beyond the Forbidden Forest", not "Forbidden Forest 2," as I had mentioned above.

PPS: Nice story, Qix. Very cool. On my C64, I had a program service called "Q-Link", short for Quantum Link. I connected to this 'internet' style place, with my 300 baud modem (which I think we later got 600 or 900 baud) and downloaded midi music files and stuff. There were chat rooms, and BBS, etc. You're right... memories!!!

Oh oh!

The last time my C64 actually worked, one of the games discs I had no longer worked. It was about 12 years ago or so. I believed that the magnetic data on the disc no longer was readable and the disc itself had failed. The drive still recognized my other discs. Perhaps it is possible to read the disc on another drive and then duplicate it. Of course, finding another functional drive may not be easy. Both my C64 and drive seem non-functional today. They light up and the drive spins, but nothing more. Perhaps some day I'll tinker with it and see if I can make it come alive for real again.

Thank you. The monitor is a vintage 80's monitor, BUT it was never actually hooked to my C64. That monitor was for my Apple //c. My C64 was always just hooked to a TV set. And I had to clean up my C64 and drive very hard before setting it up for the video shoot (and photos). I spent about an hour or more cleaning it. I did take very good care of it back in the day though. I always took good care of my stuff. Wish it still worked.

You got your keyboard thing resolved (mostly) - hope you're able to get the disc reading thing fixed too. Keep working at it!
