Commodore 16 and Plus/4 - Did you own One?

I bought a Plus 4 two days ago and I will get this one soon Very Happy

15€, original packing, looks very good yet, rarely used with Datassette and some books...
I never had one before , so it's new terrain for me...
But it lookes so cool and modern, so I had to buy this one for, asI think, a good amount... Of course this deal wasn't as good as Widdy's one Wink

But when I saw now some Pics of Giana Sisters on the Plus 4, I was grinning...
Looks very ehm, simple Very Happy

Nevertheless, one will have fun...

Any secrets I need to know about this machine?

I already know that I should buy a 1551, yet...
And that I can use Starcommander & XE1541-Cable, too...

Here`s my Plus4. As you can see the keys are almost virgin in looks and I smoke 20 aday Wink

The trick is to put it away when not in use Wink

I said I LIKED the color scheme. What are you apologizing for?

I thought you talked about the SILVER, but in fact, there isn't that much silver in reality - that's just the flash.
Never mind.

I wish I could get that color scheme on a modern PC. I'm tired of the boring beige... and the now faddish silver reminds me of cheesy 70's disco stereos.

What you'll need is Liam Li cabinet: Also available as an aquarium:

But to stay on topic, a C16/+4 in mint conditi9on is always preferable Wink

yeah, those lian li's are really cool Very Happy

got a blue chieftec myself.

If you got a boring pc case, and you like the Plus/4 color scheme, a little paint can do wonders Smile

If your after a Giana Sisters clone on Plus/4 then take alook at Jerry`s Quest. This is a home brew and is very cool Smile

Yeah, this Jerry's Quest looks more similar to Great Giana Sisters... At least the enemies are the same...
Isn't this Jerrydude Henry from Henry's House...?
This game should have been called Henry's Quest in Giana Land Wink

I was referring to *current* PCs. They come in beige or silver at Best Buy.
