This is cool. I've never had a chance to be with a live commodore
machine let alone use one in my whole life. But looking at how these
machines are being kept alive with new games brings a joy in my heart.
I've been following 8-bit Guy for a while now and I really find his
videos entertaining.
Cheers,

Hah! I am indeed young, I think. But Commodore also didn't seem to have
penetrated our country during that time. There's plenty of old IBMs here
but none from Commodore whatsoever.

I think I followed him from his restoration series. I really enjoy just
watching someone clean a dirty old computer and make it work again.

It's in Southeast Asia. I don't know if Commodore ever penetrated my
country but what I do know is that there's literally no C64s or
anything commodore here.

Yeah, I have seen some of his videos. But it's really long, hahaha! I
usually play his videos and just leave it on and do other stuff.
