Any Commodore fans out there?

I have 4 that are 100% working. This time of the year I like to fire it up and play Christmas songs on it. But throughout the year, my wife and I will play Wheel of Fortune on it. The disk drives both still work, and so does the cassette drive but, I use a modern SD to IEC controller to store and load my games and software now.

Hell yeah Ryan! I was a Commodore kid. My first one was a VIC-20 back in '82, then upgraded to a 64, but by the time I had enough saved for a disk drive (which cost as much or more than the 64 itself) I started seeing ads for the C128 and the Amiga, so I kept saving. I found a used A1000 for cheap and man, those were some good times. I loved that thing. I was stylin' with my Supra 2400 and genlock (I piped in the TV signal to be my desktop background, LOL) but the 1000 had some annoying limitations so I jumped to an A500 a couple years later. Maxtor 200 meg drive in a GVP enclosure, 4 meg ram expansion, and my beloved 16800bps USR dual standard modem. That was screamin' fast for 1992, hah. Those were the days...

I spent hours and hours on my 64 and then Amiga 500. I had Test Drive, Beach Head, Raid over Moscow, shhhh...Strip Poker...Impossible Mission
Beyond he sports games and Epyx Summer/ Winter Games....I latched on to Flight Simulator 2 and fell in love with simming. The C64 got me hooked!

To this day I still spend several hours flying online each week and I'll never tell my wife how much I've paid for my radio stack/ throttle quadrant and rudder/ yoke controls .

Nice to see a 64 up and running again

For those who might not know, Commodore is back making computers again. Recently purchased and currently reselling memories

Ohhhhhhhhh, different Commodore. Was going to say a founding member plays keyboard on weekends at a local, upscale cajun bar by my house.
