      XPost: rec.games.video.classic       From: pitfall_harry65@hotmail.com              I agree. As I am a C64 enthusiast.              But, nothing beats popping in a cart and immediately playing games.       Like the NES. I only had 12-15 NES carts back when I was still buying       NIB C64 stuff at clearance prices. Now I have 500+ NES carts (not that       I have time to play them all), but they are cheap to get, plug right in       and are collectible and cool to see as well.              I've backed up several dozen disk sides on my C64, but I probbly have       600 more disk sides to go, and no gauranteed that they'll work again.       And many of them will not be copiable. Had to learn how to copy it       then, or use just the right tools and patches etc. Not the same 20       years later and you have forgotten all those details.              Ah, if we could only get those techical wizards to start making and       selling multicarts, or carts that can store games on them for the C64.              If someone has (I keep asking every couple years - in case I have not       heard of this happening), please let me know. I would love to have a       C64 multi-cart.              Multicarts make life great for the Bally Astrocade, 2600, 7800, 5200, CV       and other systems. We just need to get the C64 up there with them and       more folks would be playing C64 games on the original consoles.                     Alan              Commodorus wrote:                     > The C64 had numerous arcade games and thousands       > of games that were never, ever released on the NES.       >       > The Master System had beautiful colors, but not that many       > great games.
