Wonderful model, too! Looks just like it, very clean. Texturing the keys must have been a LOT of fun!

[behzad]

This is very good, brings back memories when I used to design games on it.
How computers have become more complicated, it is amazing.

[marcotronic]

...as if it was yesterday. The good old days...

I remember christmas '88, I was only 4 and there was these enormous boxes under the christmas tree(screen, computer and 5''1/4 disk reader!!!). So much of memories in there. I played to donald duck (http://www.lemon64.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemon64.com/games/details.php%3FID%3D747) and ghostbusters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters_%28Activision_video_game%29#Ghostbusters_.28Activision.29)

Thanks for the nice comments, funny thing: About an hour after I submitted this image I saw that CNN has a news item about C64 on their first page! Apparently the 64 has it's 25 year birthday on Monday.

[BlockMind]

Really good work. Love it.

READY.
RUN

Dude!! *flashback.. playing good old TMNT on C64 :D -- wooosh *out of flashback*

sweet model and rendering, looks so clean :thumbsup:

i basicly grew up with this... and i almost trashed it every time me and my brothers were playing *how to swim in TMNT.. heck.. just jump on the keyboard... Yaayy it works*

[KrakenCMT]

Hehe Yep! This is the little guy that got me hooked on video games and programming.

Too bad I never stuck with it and just became a lazy artist!

Great work BTW!

Here's a shot of the inputs to the right.

Andrea...mas ekapses re file....
I wonder what will come next after the keyboard and the 1530 tape player.....
A quickshot II turbo joystick maybe?????
I bet you never thought that a product shot can have so much emotion in it...
I know I didn't for sure:D

Louischo's lemon64 link and Roberto's POKE 532841 line just blew me away...
I had totally forgotten about PEEKs and POKEs man....

Now excuse me while i climb up to the attic to get my Zzap64s.....as soon as i finish listening to all the KATAKIS musics....

[oktaypocan]

Thank you very much for reminding us those days... Computing was much fun back then...

Actually I modeled an Amiga 1200 and an Amiga 500 but I didn't have time to finish texturing the keys. Now I'm far away from my family's home where I still keep my beloved ones.

Anyway, thanks again and again... In a time most people choose to model Playstations, iPods and cell phones you made an excellent choice... C64 and Amiga, never die!

[najjaci]

GREAT! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
I remember this one.
It was my first computer, actually it was computer of my brother.

Hey I would like to see a tape player, maybe a tape and "quickshot" joystick.
Can we expect that?

5* fom me :thumbsup:

CHEERS!

[LS Knight]

Ah, thanks for this. A while ago someone did a Commodore tape drive and I was hoping someone would do the computer itself. It was a computer that was ahead of its time. I loved it dearly.

Then computers got boring again. Then about the mid-ninties they got exciting again... and never looked back.

The Commodore 64 was a great unit for its time. I learned BASIC on a Trash-80 at my local Radio Shack but when we got the C64 I was in heaven. At the time it was a brilliant design.

Anyone have Frogger on the C64?


Oh, and thanks for the rear pannel shot. That was the first thing I was going to ask for when I saw this.

Great work, great subject!

[machadoj]

Nice modeling and subject.

It was 1982 when I bought my Atari 400 with 16K of RAM memory!
The days when Pac Man, Zaxxon and Donkey Kong ruled the world. ;)

Later in the 1980's I got the Amiga, the best Computer I've had.

Thank you for the memories. Congrats! :)

najjaci: I actually already did the tape player. Look at this (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=132&t=496968)

LS Knight: That was me who did the tapedrive, and I see that you also commented in that thread. (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=132&t=496968)
