Hello fellow Retro lovers. I'm Bill aka Duckey. I am really looking forward to playing new Retro style games on the Commander X16.
My wife (barely) tolerates my tinkering with electronics and the small collection of Retro machines. I have all the enthusiasm of a ten year old when a new machine or game comes into the house. We have been playing around with the PETSCII robots game on THEC64 (I can't seem to find a decent C64). The Planet X3 game finally made me get to work on a Tandy 1000 TL/2 that I picked up last autumn. I love what could be done with minimal graphics, adequate sound and a 62 watt power supply.
I believe that the "less is more" idea is what makes me love the idea of the Commander X16. Sure I could chase a modern gaming rig, but the chase and the cost never ends. Assuming that the parts are available.
