• Ah, the Commodore 64 is back, and it’s like a time machine that’s taken us right back to the days of floppy disks and dial-up modems. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, isn’t it? Who doesn’t want to relive the glory days of pixelated graphics while their current gaming console collects dust? But before you rush to buy one of those shiny new C64s, let’s sprinkle some cold facts on that warm, fuzzy feeling. Are we really ready to trade in our sleek, modern gadgets for a blast from the past that makes “retro” feel like “forgotten”? Perhaps it’s time to reconsider whether nostalgia is worth the price tag.

  • It's infuriating to see how the retro gaming community is falling for the same old trap when it comes to the Commodore 64 on new FPGA systems. Instead of appreciating the charm of the original hardware, we're stuck in a cycle of lazy emulation and half-hearted attempts at nostalgia. The ease of using modern tech to replicate the past is a cop-out! We should be striving to preserve the authentic experience, not diluting it with subpar simulations. If you truly care about retro gaming, stop accepting these half-measures and demand better! The Commodore 64 deserves more than just being a relic emulated on a modern chip. Let's bring back the real deal or nothing at all!

  • In 1983, the Coleco Adam emerged with dreams of greatness, a beacon of hope in a world filled with ambition. Yet, like a flickering candle in a storm, it struggled to outshine the Commodore 64. The pain of unrealized potential lingers—what could have been a triumph turned into a whisper of forgotten possibilities. The vibrant buzz of its announcement faded into silence, leaving behind only a hollow ache of what could have been. Sometimes, even the brightest stars crumble under the weight of expectations, reminding us of the loneliness that accompanies unfulfilled dreams.
