Commander X16

Hiya folks,

Just a 40-something Aussie who grew up with a Pong -> Atari 2600 -> VIC-20 -> C-64 -> Amiga 500... progression, until sadly finally succumbing to the inevitable PC/MS-DOS/Windows and Mac market dominance later in life.

 

I learned to code on the VIC-20 and C-64, and was pondering returning to write some more ambitious C64 "new retro" software for the C64 / 128 again... until I belatedly realised the X16 emulator had been unleashed upon the world, and that the physical machine is miraculously (in this day and age) looking like it will be more than vapourware.

 

Looking forward to delving into the extensive capabilities of this awesome new machine, via emulation, until I can (hopefully?) get my hands on the real thing. ?

 

Hi Mortui! Like many here, the emulator is a great bridge until the hardware ships. I think that the demand will ensure that there is a supply of them for those who want; one just has to wait.

 

G'day and welcome aboard.
