im 36, but i think he meant for u to post it in ur profil

Perhaps the youngest C64 user out there at 18. At least, probably the most advanced user at my age. I've been a commodore fan the longest, but not too much later i discoveredthe Apple IIgs which is currently my bigger obsession.

I'm 32 years old, and I just recently broke up with my 20yo girlfriend haha. Ohwell, about the c64.

I live in Hungary. When I was 7, my father got a Plus4. We were behind the iron curtain, so computers were barely available until Commodore literally flooded the market with all the Plus4s they couldn't sell in western countries.

I really liked it, and it got me started on programming. When I was 8 years old, I was writing "choose your own adventure" games in BASIC. There were few decent games, but those were pretty cool - Tutti Frutti and Exorcist comes to mind, I recently played them and they still hold up.
Then, since the machine was so prevalent, Hungarian devs started to churn out these REALLY lame amateurish games for the platform. Sometimes they were technologically weak, but mostly it was game design that was totally off. These were hobbyists turned pro, and didn't have the first idea about game design. Most of them were either forbiddingly complex or laughably unfun to play.
Then I fried the TED with an autofire joystick. In 1988 it took bloody 6 months to get the replacement. I barely had a look at a c64 around then, only the sons of a friend of my mother had one.
Later my father started using the plus4 for work as well, so he bought a floppy drive and a printer... It had this impossible text editor where you needed to save each page separately...

In 1990 he bought a PC for work. By then the iron curtain was down, and you could buy AMIGAs and c128s as well. There were lots of mention of those in home computer magazines, one even took the name "576 kbyte". Man was I envious of AMIGA owners. Our PC was an XT with Hercules monochrome graphics. Few games ran on it, and none of them perfectly. (Prince of Persia did though. )

I wanted an AMIGA, or a Super Nintendo, but in the end I got a c64g for Christmas. Which wasn't that bad, given that all my friends had c64s by then, so we could share games. (Boy did we ever!) I never got down to programming the c64 though. The PC had Turbo Pascal and I was totally lost in that by then. So much better than BASIC.

By 94 we got a 386 with VGA, so the c64 saw heavily decreased use. I never got an AMIGA in the end. But the 386 did give me some great moments, it was the time when I first realized the existence of the demoscene. I never became a real part of it, but was a very avid spectator for years.

I sold the c64 around 2000, and bought another one a few months ago.

Hoping to catch up though.

I'm 32!

<<<This is still my current age

This thread was just informing us way back then that we have an age mod here now which we needed to update which has now been turned into a daft question. It should have been locked years ago
