Joysticks

Until the age of ten, we had a Commodore 64. My memories of this machine are few and fragmentary. It operated on an insanely intricate machine language from which, at the most, I could wrestle out playing a few games. In 1993, it was put in our crawl space under the stairs. Fifteen years later, while renovating the crawl space, we dug out the old desktop. I setup the Commodore on Halloween night, complete with three joysticks, a grumbling disk drive, and enough floppies to build a house of cards. Not too far away one of my brothers friends sat twiddling his thumbs on a cell phone doubling as a computer, 1/100th the size and probably capable of running circles around the old box unit 1000 times over. This might be the last I will know of the old Commodore before it gets recycled. But what a thrill it was go back and see how far we have come. The games you will see here, approaching 20-25 years of age, include: Bagasaurus (1988) IFR Flight Simulator (1983) Jumpman (1983) A practice film using Vegas Movie Studio.
