Commodore 64 Emulation
So what can we do when our treasured ‘bread-boxes’ fail to work any more? Use an emulator of course!
Most gamers will already know about emulators, but I recently discovered online C64 emulation. This is C64 emulation using Java or Flash online to run all of our favourite C64 games from the past. While it is still in its early stages, the progress so far is very impressive. Take a look at c64s.com and take a trip back to 80′s gaming at it’s best.
For those looking for details on more conventional emulation, I can recommend the CCS64 for Windows 98/2000/XP or VICE for OS X, Linux and for Windows users who don’t like CCS64. Most of the popular games and applications can be found at Lemon 64 or Arnold but for the hard to find ones, try a search at www.c64db.com – The Internet Database for C64 Games with over 30000 entries!
So now there even more ways to explore this wonderful machine and keep the Commodore 64 and its software alive, even when your 20+ year old hardware packs it in.
