Maybe you did, maybe you didn't... but now you know! The aptly-named Commodore 64 Emulator is yet again available in the App Store for the frugal sum of $4.99 (£2.99 for my fellow imperialists). It was originally released back in June but unavailable due to violation of Apple's rules on launching executable code (which is what an emulator does). Then in September it was actually ...

Manomio has certainly been patient in waiting for their fully licensed, retro-awesome Commodore 64 app to be allowed beyond the velvet rope guarding the entrance App Store. One of the hold ups that led to their initial rejection back in June was the presence of a BASIC interpreter. Rather than strip the code entirely, Manomio tucked it behind a Konami code of sorts. Once users began reporting ...

I have a confession to make: though I am an unabashed iPhone lover, nothing will ever top the infatuation I had with the Commodore 64. The C64 was my family's first computer, and it was soon to become my computer. Harry McCracken over at the Technologizer blog latches onto a recent story about a Commodore 64 emulator (reputedly a very good one) that was rejected for entry into Apple's iPhone App ...

Sure, there are plenty of Twitter clients for Windows, OS X, Linux, the iPhone, Windows Mobile, and pretty much any other modern operating system. But what if you've got a soft spot for 25 year old computers? No problem. BREADBOX64 is a twitter client for Commodore 64 and 128 computers. No, seriously. The results aren't pretty. In fact, they're kind of ugly. But BREADBOX64 let's you view your ...

Ahh, the good old Commodore-64. Many of us here at Download Squad count the C-64 as one of their first computers. While the Apple IIc was arguably more important, nobody would dispute the fact that the C-64 had what kids want: games, and lots of them. It was also pretty cool that the operating system was also a BASIC interpreter. How many young programmers learned GOTO and LOOP commands in those ...

It's one thing to clone a video game in Flash; it's something else entirely to write an entire emulator for an entire game console, and I don't think it's done until now: Darron Schall and Claus Wahlers have released FC64, a Commodore 64 emulator implemented in Flash. For now FC64 is alpha-quality and very much a work in progress, but if you have Flash Player 9 beta installed you can play a live ...

c64s.com is a web site where you can play dozens of classic Commodore 64 games in your browser. The games run as Java applets and a few of them are a bit funky or slow, but there's a huge selection to choose from. Be warned, this is a time waster in the extreme: Don't follow the link unless you're prepared to lose a few hours to retro nostalgia. ...
