Floppy Disk Labels For You
As I'm going through my floppy disk collection, archiving them into my Free Base database, I thought it would be a good time to also update and improve on their labeling. If you'd like a copy of the template for yourself, read on. Read more...
My First Game on the C64
A question that I see crop up, from time to time, is “what was the first game you ever played on your C64?†It's an interesting question and I enjoy hearing and reading other's answer to this question. For me, it's not an easy question to answer. Read more...
A message for Goog and Agent Friday
The C64Mini seems to be a success and the full sized TheC64 is on it's way. Is there potential here for CommodoreServer to take advantage of these consumer products? Read more...
Game Review: L'Abbaye des Morts
I share my thoughts on this new game, released by Canadian publishers Double Sided Games. At the time of writing, there are not many box sets available for purchase. But you can still get the download of the disk image. Lots of fun and really well done. Read more...

Turn your C128 into a C64 fast loader
I happened across WS DOS, for the C128, that takes advantage of the 1571's "burst mode" to quickly load C64 games and programs, effectively turning it into a fast loader for the 64 mode. Read more...
Bad SID
Not more than a week after I finally get around to repairing my C128's keyboard, the sound started to crackle and fade out on me. A quick jiggle of the video cable and the problem didn't go away. What was up now? I unplugged the video cable and gave the video port a cleaning, but that didn't fix the problem either. Read more...
