Hi everyone,
time for a quick intro. I first met Commodore when I was about six, when my dad, a radio and TV technician, brought home a C64. My older brother and I took it over fast. After four or five years we sold the C64 with our growing stack of games to move to an Amiga 500, then later an Amiga 1200. I was the gamer in the family, while my brother coded and spent time in the demoscene. I still remember LAN parties on Amiga where Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge was the star.
By the late 90s we switched to PCs, which never felt the same. That early start did shape my path though, so I studied Information Systems and I still work in IT today.
I tried emulators from time to time, but the old feeling never quite returned. I recently turned 40 and my wife surprised me with a C64 and a floppy drive. The spark came back at once. The next step was obvious, so I also picked up an Amiga 500 and also an Amiga 1200.
Cheers,
Spoony
