    Not an answer to your question but this looks interesting :


    Classic Commodore 64 lives again
    Fans of retro computing will soon be able to buy a modern PC clad in a classic case.

    Awesome! Selection of games isn't absolutely fantastic but I can always fire up the emulator for the ones that aren't there :)

    Just relived my early teen years there with a spot of Ghosts and Goblins :D Now back to work :(


    Also sboyle01, check out the Arcade and Retro forum for loads of advice on emulators and old C64 stuff.

    Daley Thompson Olympic Challenge

    Must have broken a joystick every week :p

    Parents getting angry when I broke yet another one and they were sick of buying them.

    Not so expensive though.
    And you could buy games for around 3 to 4 punts.

    What you needed was a zip stick, with the yelllow buttons and the clickity microswithces. They never broke.

    Got one of those myself after going through two Quick Shot II's in quick rapid succession :)

    The Zip Stick really was indestructible and it was a ball-top stick too, just like in the arcades :D Excellent!

    Music in the old games was top notch, they have new music every level.
    Always very catchy, dammit I'll be humming these for the rest of the day

    Spent many, many hours playing this one

    Takes a lot of skill for such a simple game

    The theme music from the Platoon game and Micropro Soccer were catchy as hell. Platoon in particular.

    My favourite game of all time. I'd actually go on record as to say I'm probably one of the best players in the world at it.
