This is episode 198 of the Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN), a review of the Commodore 64 and a bunch of it's licensed and weirder games. The Commodore 64, also known as the C64 or the CBM 64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International. The C64 took its name from its 64 kibibytes of RAM. With support for multicolor sprites and a custom chip for waveform generation, the C64 could create superior visuals and audio compared to systems without such custom hardware. Except, well, the software was kinda garbage.

I guess the reason it took you so long to talk about this system was because that’s how long it took to boot it up.

@99nerka 2 года назад

Except it booted in second, games took tong to load if you did it from casette, it was decent from disk. Zx Spectrum on the other hand took ages to load games as 99% of library was on casettes.

My Commodore 64 has worked perfectly for 33 years now. There is no "boot up". You hit the power switch on the side and you're greeted by that beautiful blue screen 3 seconds later. If you were loading from cassette tape, you could just type "Load" then hit return, or hit Shift-Run together, then you'd get the famous "Press Play On Tape". I've wonderful memories of Headcoach, World Soccer League, Pipeline, Flimbo's Quest, Montezuma's Revenge, Klax, Split Personalities, Midnight Resistance, Tapper, Mayhem in Monsterland, Ironman Stewart Super Off-Road, Ghostbusters, Salamander, Cabal, 1941. I could go on and on. Great times.

nobody ever talks about how James kept using Vintage furniture in the NERD CAVE and how it just goes so well with the aesthetic with all the old consoles and computers. Giving it a modern makeover would destroy this image and make AVGN look like every vintage RU-vidr out there.

Actually, Street Hassle on C64 is also a port. It's ported form Amiga, originally a Polish game with the same name about a dude who get disturbed by his loud neighbours, wakes up, puts his shades on, turns on the stereo blasting 2 Unlimited on full, and kills his neighbours. Then he goes out to beat up everyone else in his neighbourhood too.

The reason some of the keys stopped working with some games is that programmers managed to squeeze some extra memory/power to use for the game by mapping the memory reserved for those keys disabling them in the process.

Or it could just be that port 1 shares a register with the keyboard matrix on CIA #1, and IIRC, $DE00-$DFFF can't be unmapped from memory.

I remember playing the C64 with a friend of mine and we kept that thing working through most of the 90's using it to play MUDS on the early internet. It was quite the process and I still think I have the instructions still written down somewhere. It was like 4 or 5 pages worth of bouncing of various library and gov websites (No graphic ones because the C64 could NOT deal with the internet very well back then) just to get on a MUD called Ancient Anguish. I also liked that the C64 and Amiga series could use any Atari or Genesis controller. If you haven't yet it might be worth looking at the later pcs they made, the Amiga 1000 and 2000, both of which you can actually still get games for even though the systems haven't been produced in what? 30 years or so?

My favourite C64 games were Wizball, Spy vs Spy, Kongo Kong, Master of Magic, Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Denaris, Gauntlet, and Galaxions. I was always hoping they would make a Moon Cresta, but, sadly, it never happened. There was this other one which was like a medieval adventure game where you were a king in Britain and you, and other kings (who were all computer generated) would compete to take over parts of each others territories. You could choose to do different things like enter an archery or jousting tournament, go raid another castle, and visit Robin Hood in Sherwood forest.

Someone warn James the original C64 power supply is an accident waiting to happen. The power from it can suddenly go well out of spec on the 5v rail, and fry the board. There are replacements available without the issue, or you can even build your own.

@ColdRunnerGWN 2 года назад

Can confirm. I bought a C64 and it fried right out of the box due to the power supply. My Atari 2600 also had a wonky power supply, although it was just the power supply that died, and the console was fine.
