Commodore 64 to return as a phone!

All kinds of awesome memories churned up by this article. And best of all, it actually has a C64 emulator. The day I can play Colonial Conquest on my phone is the day all productivity ends.

Bring it!

You know you can already find the emulators in the App Store, right?

My first computer was a Commodore 64. I learned how to type on it. I loved that machine, so this seems like a really cool idea.

I had a VIC-20 with an 8K memory cartridge and an assembly language module.

I had an IBM 370. OK so it wasn't personal.

Yeah, but this one has the C= logo on the case!

As for first computer, mine was a TI-99, with 16K built in RAM. The C-64 was my first love, however.

But it can be with the Hercules System/370

Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframe System/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the new 64-bit z/Architecture. Hercules runs under Linux, Windows (98, NT, 2000, and XP), Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X (10.3 and later).

Hercules is OSI Certified Open Source Software licensed under the terms of the Q Public Licence.​

You know you're going to install it, so what are you waiting for?

without vm/cms, TPF 4.1, or MVS it's not much fun. Oh and the whole loading programs at 2AM and waiting for the world to crash.

Does Hercules include a punch card reader?

Oh please. by the 370 era we'd moved on to 3270s.

Great, now it'll start posting on TBBS about Archer/T'Pol crap...

Hot damn I'd like to order one of those but the price is fairly outrageous.

They Really Didn’t Have to Go This Hard for the Cyberpunk 2077 Edition of the Commodore 64

Good lord, that's a gorgeous piece of hardware.
