And Apple II... there was attacks to Apple even before PC:
Those were the days. I was a diehard C64er. I learned how to write games using basic compilers and assembly coding and wrote some neat games. I sold one game to Compute! magazine. I remember the fantastic cracked games from the software houses. One thing the C64 had going was the video and the sound chips. They were unmatched.
Can't say I miss it much but some of those games I'd like to see again.
Nice find Sillon, that's a goldmine for the C64ers. Too bad I didn't see the book with my game in it. It's a 64/128 collection book which didn't sell very well. I think that's when the C64/128 died out during the popularity of the IBM PC.
