I had a scammer phone me the other day saying that my computer had a virus. So I told the person I only use a C64. He said press this key to get on the internet, I said what key..? And told him again I used a C64 only. I can't repeat what we final told me to do, but he tried everything to try and access my C64. Strange it is not on the internet... Has anybody else done the same and wound one of these Scammers up with old tech.

With Christmas fast approaching what memories do you have of your 64 and Christmas. Did you receive your 64 or games as a Christmas present? I had my 64 as my main present in 1984. I remember getting Little Computer People, Koronis Rift & Scarabaeus the following Christmas and Labyrinth the Christmas after that. I always looked forward to the Christmas issue of Zzap64. And who can forget the Commodore Christmas demo! To me Christmas and the 64 have always gone hand in hand.

So we have all got C64's of one description or another but who has any other type of computer.. I have 3 x BBC b's and the New "The Spectrum". What have you got.....

Hey guys, question for you all still using floppies. I switched over to the Pi-zero to use to load games and I've always said it's a good compromise allowing you to use the original C64 but without the loading problems. Having said that.... my 1541-ii drive sitting in the cupboard gathering dust which I thought was a shame so dug it out and all working good, but if you use the wrong disk it deposits a load of crap onto the heads so I was wondering whether you guys have a supplier of new disks that are reliable as I would love to transfer some of my favourite games to actual disk and use it again. Tried cleaning a few but let's say that didn't go too well. Had a look on Ebay and Amazon but some of the prices that used disks are going for...😱 think I'd rather invest the money in another Pi which has an hdmi out so i don't need to use the built in pi1541 loaded.... thoughts?

Which games hide their greatness behind either a high initial difficulty level, unintuitive control or complexity meaning somebody who played the game for 5 mins (especially if they had no instructions) would dismiss it as a bad or average game not giving it chance for its strengths to shine through? I know @Phil Wheatley mentioned Wizball in his latest Zzap review video as an example of game that would be easy to give up on when you are just bouncing around until after you get the first couple of power ups it’s true genius shines through! A game I recently got an original copy of was New York City and I’ve had this game for years not knowing what to do and now I have the instructions and know what to do it’s a fun little game. Any other games you can think of that people should invest time that have that difficult initial “in”?
