cimerians Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 That was great....ha GI Joe! I used to play that all the time. The almighty 64! Yep my 1980's disks still work too. I wonder how collectable ipads will really be? Since all games are tied to people's accounts without anything physical to buy or touch I think the hobby dies pretty soon..... I dont know. Maybe our accounts and our downloads will be available 20 years from now. I just dont know how collecting\thrifting and anything else will happen anymore.

+Gemintronic Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Of course, the hidden third option is to emulate the C64 on your iPad and win. I already run DOSBox on my iPad to get work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiv Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 For those people that feel emulation is enough, that's great... I had an SX-64 back in the day, and emulation just doesn't get the "weight" of the experience.. (I suppose I could duct tape the iPAD to a cinder block, and get a keyboard and string it to the iPAD.. Have to mask off the screen tho, otherwise it's too big...) desiv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
