So how many C64s are there still working in the world today?  Is this guy thinking of selling 1000s of these things?  Maybe in Russia.

I got one working at my house.. I find it kinda fun to play some of the same games I played back in the day on the original equipement...



TOK:
I also have a C64/1541 and also an Atari 130XE/Indus GT drive.
The Atari is setup out on my garage workbench right now. I bought this computer new in like 1985 after the power supply on my 800XL crapped out. Also bought the C64 new.

I had a 2600 and Colecovision and basically abandoned console gaming after playing Defender, DK and Asteroids on a buddies Atari 400. The computer versions were so much better than anything else at the time (DK had all 4 levels) and were basically unpublicized.
I bought the 64 after it started getting games that were better than the Atari computer versions.


Edit: added pic for other computer old farts.  ;)

I love hearing about other people with the XE line. I'm still kicking myself for not snatching up a free 130XE with oodles of software a few years ago. I still own my XEGS with its penned in "corrections" in the BASIC book that came with it.

As much as I love it, it lives in a box in storage. I haven't fired it up in over fifteen years.

Funny, I'm using a 130XE that TOK shows with a Commodore (Toshiba) monitor that Missioncontrol shows :)
Great because it has separate inputs for color and hue I think, or something like that, at least best picture you can get out of it....back in the day I would be cursed at for using Commodore hardware with my Atari (didn't have that monitor then however). There was a real "battle" and we, Atari users were the underdog.....

TOK: If you like Defender, have you tried Dropzone on the XE ? A great Defender clone IMHO. I suck at it though....
