i bet the old c64 will be faster than the new one especially housing an atom processor

Oh no, keep me away. I have too many toys. Although he who dies with the most toys wins!

Gadgets and gizmos keep me sane in an otherwise pretty average existence.. I don't smoke or drink.. I buy tech

Yeah it'll be a dog with that Atom. Only thing that's remotely attractive is the C64 emulator

That brings back some memories. I think I was at the height of my gaming obsession with the megadrive though. Olympic Gold and FIFA were favourites!!

Still down. What's the betting they use a C64 as their web server?

I've got one of these - C64 with games inside a joystick. Brought back a lot of memories

been thinking of treating myself to one of the old ones off ebay
always wanted one you see, had to play with freinds'
i giot an amstrad , was a bloomin green screen too
my next door neighbour Paul, did actually use his zx81 as a doorstop after a while in his bedroom, not just an urban myth

the atari tennis was one of my favourites though
i'm gonna buy an old atari and put the tennis on and show my daughter what we had hours of fun doing
