Now, if they will port GIMP to this platform too. lol

I actually had a CoCo and recently got Megabug (via Java based emulator) to play on my XP VM (many hours then a few months back; lol). Some dude even ported Megabug to a more modern level (Super Megabug; he found out that I was a Megabug enthusiast and contacted me and I did play with it under a Sandboxed shell; recently did again a few weeks back; even plays a better version of la Cucaracha) and played with it too so nostalgia I am. Still, it would be cool to see other platforms then PC and MAC; it would be a throwback to the early 80s when there was several: TRS-80, TRS-80 CoCo, Commodore 64, Amiga, Timex Sinclair, TI-99/4A, Osbourne just to name a few. I miss those days when PCs were fun and innovative instead of an instrument of distruction. I even played a little with the bbs on a 2400 Baud modem back in the early 90s (on work PC of course; please don't tell my ex-boss). lol

I remember my Vic-20, my C-64 and C-128! I was given an Amiga, but haven't tried it out yet.

PC64 sounds like a fun toy!!

And here I thought PONG was a big deal!

If the price is right, the new Commodore could be a hit.


Might be just the thing to connect up to a HDTV for streaming and media playback. Windows or Linux runs great on an Atom processor so GIMP wouldn't be problem. Jetway sells a similar mini-top system.

I still have my old C-128, disk drive, tape drive and monitor ..and they still work. I had it out about a year ago and was playing games using my Wico joysticks.

You could always just mod your own...
