Life doesn't get much better than this
Somebody made good Galaga and Galaxian ports for the C64 not too long ago.
Someone should port vvvvvv to the C64 if that's even possible. Even a downgraded port would be amazing.

>>12759663That's amazing. I was under the impression that the port never got finished!It's a shame about the music though. vvvvvv had one of the best soundtracks of any game ever.
>>12759567x2 - I have yet to try it on real hardware.
>>12759702>It's a shame about the music though.The SID music is great.
>>12760984The original soundtrack laughs in its face and pisses all over it. A SID conversion would have been amazing.
>>12759567There's a good Berzerk too, complete with speech
>>12759453>30yo """man""" spends life savings on old toy cause youtube told they/them to>Life doesn't get much better than thisI wouldn't go that far. But yes, it's very entertaining.
>>12761764You can get a C64U brand new for $300, there's no reason to spend life savings on anything. Take your meds, schizo.
>>12761764>life savings means $500 to mehello india
>>12762439>>12762469>im mad cause u described my so called life so perfectlyI know
>>12759453A gamepad/joystick built into the keyboard is cooler.
>>12759453This kinda makes me sad, for some reason.Like, that was it. The height of gaming. And it was valid to be ecstatic over it.Now we can do the same thing with much higher powered, more complicated and engaging games. But it's not quite the same. Some form of magic was lost. Its become played out in some way.
>>12763701>Some form of magic was lost. Its become played out in some way.computers for the home were relatively new. everything about it was exciting. we're in 2026 recycling the same ideas for last 30 years and nothing revolutionary or interesting has arrived in a long time. and no, ai doesn't count. that's been under constant research for 60+ years.
>>12761764Gamexhange has them for $100
>>12763701x2 - having a C64 with a few hundred diskettes meant digging out many odd spectacles and a few gems. Sweetest of times.
>>12765094It’s like going to Blockbuster to find movies instead of browsing streaming. It was more time consuming, but there was a certain magic about it.
>>12763701>wasStill is
>>12765175i'm a millennial about to fuckin' KNEEL from those thumbnails alone, looks like untested sovl
>>12763412Imagine not being able to afford $300. Couldn't be me.
>>12763692Sony's industrial designers were quite good in those days of course. C64 had the same case and keyboard as the VIC-20. Joystick looks like it would get pulled / snapped off tho. Bottom door too.C64's design antique at first but the C64C was fine, the biggest problems you run into these days are fried CIAs due to people touching the controller ports. Happens to both types. Those old Sonys are creakier and you can't get parts for them at all.
>>12763701What you're referring to is the fact that the "game" has been taken out of the "video game", and those games which still have the "game" aspect have had the concept of a video game gamified economically to such a degree, it robs any sense of fun or accomplishment from it.You either haveA) Movie-game bullshit where you spend more time listening to the characters bitch like high school girls, or;B) MMO/MOBA/E-sports cancer dogshit that relies on battle passes, seasonal skins and constant tweaks that change both the look and gameplay so often that nothing feels constant anymore and it's an ever-changing environment for ways to have money stripped from you or to employ some new meta you have to adapt to before the next update.It's all dogshit. Indie games are the only refuge. Japanese games are even worse in many regards, if anyone is going to throw that excuse at me, what with their faggot-ridden pachinko mechanics, or their constant regurgitation of sequels that went stale 20 years ago.
>>12765516>the louder I cry the more they'll believe I'm not a poor babyHow's that working out for ya?
>>12765716>Joystick looks like it would get pulled / snapped off thoThe joystick is removable so you can use the arrow keys. There's a spot to stick it when it's not in use.>back coverIs nice and sturdy. I have this model in black.
>>12767030I'm not crying about anything because I'm not poor. Instead I'm having fun playing games on my Commodore 64 while you're too busy seething about being poor.
>>12768348Battery door I mean, that's something that'll break.
>>12768364The baby doth protest too much, methinks
>>12768401Mine isn't broken, which says a lot considering that it's nearly half a century old. Like I said, it's pretty sturdy.
