| BobA:
They make great arcade monitors for testing or a mini cab. |
| RayB:
People still pay as much as $40-$50 for those monitors (or maybe I am thinking of the model with stereo speakers). MacGyver: Your idea of a USB keyboard in C64 style is great. THAT would sell. |

I have a pile of them, well maybe about 6 or 7 various mid '80s commie monitors. --- End quote --- I personally only use them for old computers unless a better solution exists. Most of the older computers (Commodore, Apple, Atari) don't have a way to hook up newer LCDs. Some have ways around it, like my Amiga has an Indivision installed which has a VGA port on it allowing you to hook up LCDs (I still prefer to use CRT though). Without it the only option is a Commodore monitor or other RGB monitor that can display 15khz. It does have composite too but games display at 15khz which will not display on US TVs both CRT or LCD. The C64 on the other hand has no problem using composite so you can hook those up to any TV, although the games do not look proper on LCD...but this falls into the same category as the Arcade Monitor Vs. LCD debate. Everyone has their own preference. |

My brother had a modem hooked up to it, and he dialed into a bunch of BBS's and downloaded like every game every there was. So having this massive collection of games is probably why I am on this forum with all you good folks, emulating all these classic games, and taking pleasure in having every game ever. I will admit though that, while at the time, it was amazing, I have a hard time playing the C64 games now. I much prefer the versions of the games released on other systems, or in the arcade. But still, there are a few games on there that, to my knowledge weren't on other systems. Like Law of the West, and Skool Daze. Although I just looked it up and it says Law of the West was on NES... I will have to investigate this! I'm sure there were more games though, just can't think of them at the moment. Any way you look at it though, there will always been a special place in my heart for the C64. |
