| Anyone else have one of these babies? I still have mine (and it still works). I've really started getting back into playing it. Bubble Bobble = Best. Game. Ever. | |||

| Only an Atari, no Commodores. I've played an emulator, though. Good stuff for it's time. | |||

| C'mon, hasn't anyone played a C64 before? Ataris don't really compare to Micros because they're two different breeds. The C64 was still better than the Sinclair Spectrum. It had a proper keyboard. Suck on that, Speccy owners! |

| Umm... Kas, the Speccy also had a "Proper Keyboard"> it's only the 48K version which had the rubber one. I had a Speccy +2A, the power in that baby (128K!) was astounding, and the sound chip kicked arse. I have played a C64 though but I prefered my Speccy. Crash > Zzap64 |

The c64 vs Speccy arguement is pretty moot, I mean look at the evidence. My C64; still going strong. My dad's Speccy; dead in the water  I never actually read Zzap 64, I'm a Commodore Format girl. And you can't beat the C64s SID chip. Top quality for the time. (edited by Lucrecia Barton on 03-14-04 07:14 PM) |

| My Speccy is still alive *shrugs* Besides, did the C64 have Castle Master? I THINK NOT  Plus +3 Basic kicked arse. |

I remember playing Horace and the Spiders on the Speccy, my mom threatened to move out because the music was driving her insane. I'm showing my age  Whats the diff between the Spec's BASIC and the C64 BASIC then? |

| Elmo- Even with plastic keys, the keyboard still looked pretty bad quality... The C64 had Mahem in Monstorland, Lemmings, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands and Dizzy! | |||

| Chad - God knows, I just know the +3Basic was very easy to program. Kas- The Speccy had Lemmings, Dizzy, Bubble Bobble AND Rainbow ISlands. Never heard of that other game you talked about, we also had Monty Mole, Chucky Egg, Manic miner and "How to be a Complete B****d" |

Toph: How many of those games have you actually played?  Mayhem in Monsterland got a 100% review in Commodore Format, can we say publicity stunt children? |

| Fantasy World Dizzy was the best one, not sure if it came out for the C64 though. Lemmings was a Mutiload game (oh how I HATED those....) Rainbow Islands and Bubble bobble are better served on the PSX believe it or not... |

| I've got a C64 ROM of Fantasy World Dizzy. We had Lemmings but the graphics were so bad I couldn't tell what the little icons were. You can get Bubble Bobble for the GBA now as well, but you'd never get me off it so I won't start. I can't begin to describe how much I love that game *hums the music* Did the Spec get Parasol Stars because I know we didn't? | |||

| I think we may have but it was a crap version, that may have even been a Sam Coupe game (anyone remember THOSE? I Doubt it...) As for Bubble Bobble, I could get it for my phone you know.... I already have Puzzle Bobble and Tetris.... |

| I've played... um... Great Giana Sisters. That was C64, right? That's one of the systems I haven't bothered to emulate yet, but it lasted a looooong time. Mainly popular in the United Kingdom. |

| The Spectrum Emu kicks arse, and now most ROMS are legal. Hunt down all the Dizzy Games. |

| Yeah, Great Giana Sisters was C64. Its ultra-rare now since most copies were pulled by Nintendo. I've never played it, but some people swear its the best platformer ever. Not suprising when it was basically a Mario clone/ | |||

There were PC ports of Giana Sisters made - so it's not like Nintendo can avoid them now.  Still looked at as one of the best C64 games made, DESPITE it's similarities to the Nintendo classic. Just MINOR similiarities, yes... |

| C64? I was practically raised on the C64. It helped me learn the alphabet. (this was in about 1988) I still have it, but I use emulation now... | |||

Oh... DIZZY!  I liked the NES games when they came out, but even at that young age I had read enough mags to know that the Dizzy series was a hit in the UK.  Must look at the other ones... Meh. I'm sure there's a Dizzy shrine (or 5) on the net. |

I had lots of fun with the NES before I had anything newer (Genesis, SNES), but it's the only old console/computer I've really had a chance to enjoy ... we never had a Commodore 64, Atari or anything like that, although I might have seen some of those a little bit  And I haven't tried emulators for those either ... |
