Holy crap, C64 was the 1st computer I used. RIP sad day indeed.
Archon was the best game at the time.. I still remember getting into a fist fight with my buddy over this game.. Great times..

My best friend had one of those and I was amazed that he was able to write some code that made a stick figure do jumping jacks. I got the C64 for my birthday a couple of years later and never did figure out how made that stick figure do jumping jacks. Probably mostly to do with MicroLeague Baseball taking up most of my time.
