Happy Birthday C=64

I remember mine looking exactly like that.  That was the reason that I used my Laser 128 for anything that wasn't gaming- the CRT gave a better image than the TV.   And I don't believe that's shaking- that's overscan from the settings being off.

I still have our Commodore 128D that can be started up in C64 mode.  Does that count for anything?  I also still have our Atari 130XE as well.  Both fully work and I still have working software on 5.25 floppies.

+4 for the Commodore 128. It was PERFECTLY situated with a 250% better BASIC against the passage of about 3 years of typical childhood, such that it became my signature machine at 12, and I couldn't really grasp the harder concepts of the C64 at 9.

Yes! It does. Great PC that little Frankenstein was. I named mine Zaphod Beeblebrox in honor of that dual CPU design.

Hehehe...yep, great machine.  My wife still has me hook it up occasionally so she can kick some ass on Impossible Mission.  She's badass at that game.   :D
