The C64 had an extensive library of games, with some sources stating a figure upwards of 5000 titles. These games covered almost every genre created at the time. As with all systems, these games varied somewhat in their quality. The best of them were among the best games released on any of the 8-bit home computers. NB – the 8-bit home computers were sometimes referred to as ‘home micros’.
One of my 6000 C64 games on the CCS64 emulator - What a classic "Crazy Comets - MARTECH 1985", Look at that star field, and it's amazing what you can do with just 3 SID analogue synth voices. Listen to how tight the tune is, and to think that all the 1979-83 UK synthpop was done on 8bit sequencers, three being, Depeche Mode 1981 - THL DARE 1981, and YAZOO 1982 !!, Awwwwww, , the 8bit days and memories of 1986. I was 22.
Rob Hubbard's "Crazy Comets" SID Chip master piece is undoubtably the best ever on an 8 bit computer, and what a genius, the Mozart of the SID chip, and him programming the SID with the MOS 6510 1 MHz processor in assembly language - 80's and 90's computer songs are called CHIPTUNES , I edited in the crazy Honky Tonk end hook at 0:34 !! , , and then my game play at 1:41, but i was not using the joystick and its a nightmare using the keys !!
I first had a commodore 64 in 1984 learning programming with the official bible of a book, the "CBM64 Programers Reference Guide" and from the excellent INPUT magazine series, a weekly 52 week course in programming. I used TURBOTAPE to speed up the cassette baud rate by 10x.
In 1986 i did some game cracking, my first was "Crazy Comets" - After loading a game i did a warm reset by shorting out pin 1 amd 3 of the USER port, i wired up a switch for that purpose. The first 4 bytes of the start of basic memory starting at 2048 are wiped in a warm reset, but if you poke the four bytes back you can list the basic program, usually being something like "10 SYS 2084". After saving an area of memory with the INPUT machine code monitor using TURBOTAPE i got "manic miner" down from 320 cassette counts to 48
The C64 was a strange beast with RAM under ROM, and you could flip between the two, , , i had to find space in RAM to place the MC monitor and TURBOTAPE code, i always found it hard to know where the basic SYS was, it could be anywhere because the start of basic can be set to be anywhere !!.
Gutter Clearing and Repair
Gutters are an integral part of your home's well-being. They serve to control the flow of rainwater to protect your roof, walls, foundation and landscape. A gutter clogged with leaves, sticks and other debris can cause a leaky roof or water damage to the interior or exterior of your home. When it's so easy to get it fixed, why risk a blocked gutter causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to your home ?
