    Impressive bit of kit. Seems to run pretty much anything. The C64 was the first computer I ever owned though I found it at a garage sale since it was old even when I first got it. I actually had a pretty decent collection going from garage sales, flea markets, and thrift stores. Also my dad's coworker had a whole big collection of disks. I do believe I had a fastload cartridge and several 1541s. I even had a SX-64.which I understand are very rare. Can't remember what happened to most of it. I was rather annoyed one time where I picked up a C64 from a thrift store and some jerk had removed every single chip out of it and then donated it.

    Giving a bath in distilled water is a good idea for dirty boards(without adjustable resistors) especially after putting new sockets. Debris from the de-soldering pump seemsto stuck everywhere causing all short of small issues. It have worked for me at least 3 times.

    i was 12 and finished both DM and chaos strikes back on Amiga. 40 yrs later i still remember my wizard, Tiggy Tamal a little very powerful elf, I coupled with Gothmog in its grey cloak. You didn't pass by them in your intro but you passed by a brute withou shirt, with brown curly hair. IIRC his name was Athor but here I might be mistaken Good review you got it it was revolutionary and a great game. Chaos Strikes Back was even better and a lot harder and trickier to complete. Can't count how many hours spent... drawing maps on paper.

    I collected a bunch of Commodore stuff when I was younger from garage sales and thrift stores, and I would've loved to have something like this. Though I think I've become spoiled by modern computers too much and have so little free time I don't think I would have the patience anymore to play around on a commodore. It was rather amazing how much stuff there was for it. I was lucky and my dad knew somebody from work who had a whole huge collection of disks with all kinds of software, that kept me busy for years. I'm a bit lucky that I kind of worked my way up through the years using old computers so I experienced C64, DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, 98, Me, XP, 7, 10, and now 11. If I had started now on a modern OS and went back to try one of those old systems it would be a struggle/challenge, and maybe I wouldn't appreciate how groundbreaking and awe-inspiring it was when it first came out, because if something had amazing graphics I'd be spoiled by modern ones and wouldn't get the full sense of awe of it being the best graphics I'd ever seen on that system, I'd just think, wow, this is somewhat less bad than everything else on this hunk of junk.

    I have a 1050 with the Sparta DOS US Doubler. Before I added the US Doubler, I had a friend with a C64. We set them up side by side and loaded the same game from disk. I was playing a good 3 or more minutes before his finally came up. I couldn’t understand why the C64 drive was so slow back then.

    Hardly worth a video. The target market is people who owned one of the 5 million or so amiga 500s sold, but who dont have all day to mess about with Raspeberry Pis and other nonsense. Most people who bought Amigas just played games on them. Often the same people who had Spectrums, C64s or Amstrads as younger children.
