I've read the criticisms here, but well, as someone whose first computer was a C64, this is cool as hell. Like, what?! On an 8-bit, 64Kb, ~1MHz CPU! Amazing.

Amazing.
Sure, there are too many caveats, but this isn't really about making this a viable modern alternative.
It's just about, well, being very cool? Nostalgic!
And in that, I think it succeeds.
- vardump 1y agoNot 64 kelvinbits, but 2 megabytes of RAM. Or should I say 2 mebibytes. </pedantic>
- Quarrel 1y agofairy nuff. Not 64Kb, but 64 kilobytes of RAM, + 20 kilobytes of ROM! Plus, we had a 320x200 display in a glorious 16 colours! Revolutionary sprites, too!! FWIW, my first game, ie all I cared about on a C64 at the time, was the amazing Revenge of the Mutant Camels!
