This is the Commodore 64!

Absolutely outstanding work! I spent a whole lot of hours on that computer, that floppy drive and that monitor. Looks fantastic. That monitor was actually superb for it’s time, we used it long after the C64 was retired.

My dad and I ran a small business called Farm Equipment Trader where we advertised farm equipment. It didn’t make it in the end but it was my best lesson in how to run a business, what works and what doesn’t when I was young.

I saw that, also very well done.

I didn’t mention I spent a lot of hours playing Archon on the C64 as well. Probably not nearly as productive. My friend beat me 1000 times or more. He seemed beyond human at that game.

I’ve been following your work every now and then, and the recent one I believe has been the most documented as well, and it’s so cool to see the process!

Throughout the many iterations, it may be the in-depth materials, or the lighting, heck probably both. And the more complex scene just adds on.

Trailblazer! I’m always curious what you use this skill set next for. In the meantime, eye candys.

I feel really honoured to know You follow my work, at this point I still do not know wich one will be my next work but I guess it is very possibe it will be “This is the ps2”, I was planning to present the commodore amiga 500 next but after 2 computers I wanted to do something different, You already can check the ps2 WIP, some feedback is always very valuable, See You next time Minamookevlar!.

OMG This is so much like my old setup in the 80s. I feel like crying! Only a few differnt things. The joystick and tape drive (I had the orginal tape, and the fancy metal joystick (I did use my Atari joystick at first) with the red knob. Otherwise, the feels! I also played that game! Most of the time it was Jumpman though.
The details are amazing!

I feel so happy knowing my work brought back those emotions to You friend, Since I started modeling my goal was to do a commodore work that could represent those young years and the emotion of playing late at night, I really cherish those memories, in fact there is still pending a work involving the C64 and one or two games, except this time is going to be more about the artistic side of things or I least that is what I pretend to achieve.
As a side note I am really curious about the fancy metal joystick You mention, I hope You could upload a picture of it.
Thank You very much friend!.

Hello!, I think c64 was so universal that what people had an people played was very varied. And by the one cartridge You mean?..

I found it! I remember cleaning this, it was a metal rod with a ball on the end that hit the switches. It lasted for years.
