Happy Birthday C64

by Greg

We have a very special birthday this week – Commodore C64 turns 30.
Here, in aspoke.com , we all remember countless hours spent waiting for tapes to load with our favourite games, such as: River Ride, No Mercy, Flimbo’s Quest. So this is also our history and we’re proud of it.

I remember my first ‘applications’ programmed in BASIC. Do you remember that:

10 PRINT “I LOVE ASPOKE”
20 GOTO 10

(for those who were born later – this code will show I LOVE ASPOKE on a whole page)

If you miss these beautiful times you can actually go back with Commodore USA. This company, founded by Barry Altman, is licensing the Commodore name and look. In April 2011 they released the Commodore 64x with the original look and the Commodore OS Vision – based on the Linux – operating system.
