Its interesting how much more you can get out of a C64 when you attach unlimited storage and super fast communication with that storage via the cartridge port.

I'm thinking Eye of The Beholder.
- nine_k 4y agoYes: finally your C64 is attached to a supercomputer, with a connection to the mysterious and vast cyberspace, and you can explore it right from your darkened room with a flickering screen. Wasn't that the dream 40 years ago when c64 was introduced?

- TMWNN 4y agoEven more for the Commodore 64. While all contemporary microcomputers had a presence on online services and BBSs, starting with the VIC-20 Commodore really pushed its VICmodem (compatible with the 64) and other modems, and included a promotional offer for CompuServe, the largest online service. There's a reason why QuantumLink existed for 64, and not (say) Apple II.
