    the greatest machine of all time the commodore 64

    full colour not like the shitty spectrum and the games were and still are the greatest in playabity terms known to man

    you can stick your playstation 4's and your x box 180's football games emlyn hughes international soccer and microprose soccer were where its at

    they might be lacking in the graphic department in this day and age but on the gameplay side streets ahead


    btw as well as the cool loading screens do you remember the ones with the loading screen and the music too how cool where they mainly made by ocean if i remember correctly

    whatever happened to ocean btw do they still make games

        I'm a complete nerd when it comes to the 8bit/16bit/32bit Commodore computers

        Ocean were taken over by French mob Infogrames and then eventually ATARI swallowed them up.

        The Ocean loaders were superb, Martin Galway was the composer of the best Ocean Loader tunes, his original Loader tunes were amazing, I also loved the loader he wrote for Rambo.

        The SID chip was a stunning piece of hardware for it's era.

        Here is the best Ocean Loader tune IMO...

                      Has anyone mentioned Amiga? Many lost days that I'll never get back



                      Monkey island, never did get to the end of that and it came on about 10 disks



                      And the daddy of them all Civilization
