A viewer made this custom C64 demo for Floppy Deep Dive and sent it to me as a thank you. How cool is this? He even worked in “Real Hardware. Real Memories.” Huge thanks to ECDHE for taking the time to make this. This is exactly the kind of retro community stuff I love. #Commodore64 #C64 #RetroComputing #FloppyDeepDive #c64repost

Booting up the SSI Gold Box classic Pool of Radiance (1988) on real Commodore 64 hardware! Unboxing the code wheel, loading the 1541 disk drive, and stepping into tactical grid combat on a C1702 CRT monitor. Did you finish this AD&D classic, or did the translation wheel beat you? The Specs & Gear:• System: Commodore 64 (Breadbin) • Drive: Commodore 1541 Disk Drive (5.25" floppy) • Display: Commodore 1702 Color CRT Monitor • Media: Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) CIB Original Why the Gold Box Era Hit Different:Before digital distribution and online keys, copy protection was a physical artifact. Pool of Radiance included a physical translation wheel with Forgotten Realms runes (Elvish, Dwarven, and Runecraft). When the game booted, it gave you a code prompt requiring you to align the paper rings on the wheel to find the matching translation before the 1541 drive would let you load your party. Nothing beats the tactile feel of physical cardstock, the heavy mechanical clack of the C64 keyboard, and the grinding head steps of a 1541 drive running on a real CRT phosphor screen. cc @gamesyouloved #c64reposts #commodore #dnd #c64 #retrogaming #commodore64

This Friday on Friday Night LIVE! we're firing up the Atari 7800! I've been cleaning consoles, testing cartridges, and getting everything ready on real hardware.

Which Atari 7800 game do you hope makes an appearance? Join me Friday night at 7 PM Central! youtube.com/live/rz60fb_XzQo…

Before GameFAQs. Before YouTube. Before online walkthroughs. If you wanted to finish Ultima IV on the Commodore 64, you made your own guide. Spell lists. Mantras. Shrine locations. Maps. Pages and pages of handwritten notes. I found my old notebook while loading the game on my real Commodore 64, and it instantly brought me back. What game had you filling a notebook with notes? @GamesYouLoved #C64 #Commodore64 #UltimaIV #RetroGaming #CRPG #C64Reposts

I guess 40-year-old plastic finally has its limit... 😅 In the middle of my Friday Night Live, I got a little too into the game and SNAPPED my GEMSTIK joystick. You can actually hear the exact moment it gives up. The best part? The live chat's reaction was almost as funny as mine. 😂 Have you ever broken a joystick, controller, or other piece of retro hardware while playing? #Commodore64 #RetroGaming #Commodore #VintageComputers #RetroComputing #GamingMemories #FloppyDeepDive #c64reposts

The Blue Max poster made it to last week’s winner, @600D60DNO, and he already got it framed. Looks damn good. We’re live again tonight at 7 PM Central for another What’s on That Floppy? on YouTube I may need to start doing more giveaways like this in the future. #FloppyDeepDive #RetroGaming #c64reposts

🚁 Where does Fort Apocalypse rank among the best Synapse Software games on the Commodore 64? Top 5? Top 10? Or doesn't make your list at all? Played on my original Commodore 64 with a real 1541 floppy drive and CRT. 🕹️ #Commodore64 #C64 #FortApocalypse #SynapseSoftware #c64reposts @gamesyouloved

Playing the original Diablo on my real Gateway Windows 98 PC. The CD-ROM drive, Blizzard logo, Tristram, Deckard Cain, and The Butcher. This one brought back a lot of memories. Did you fight him the first time, or run? #Diablo #RetroGaming

“Attending this live stream is the closest thing I’ve done in decades that even comes close to an old BBS meetup.” That comment absolutely made my day.

Fired up Wasteland on real Commodore 64 hardware this week and got humbled in under ten minutes. This game had zero mercy before Fallout was even an idea. Y'all ever play the original before the reboot existed? #C64 #RetroGaming #c64reposts #commodore64 #commodore #wasteland #retrogamer
