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.....

I think it will be a special topic for everyone where you can show games or other things which are mostly less known for users of Commodore 64. I'll start here with two games I've found recently: - Nether Earth - Its a real time strategy game which is "the Command and and conquer of the 80's" by someone. "Nether Earth is a realtime strategy game that takes place in the distant future. A war is being waged between humans and ancient race of aliens called Insignian. On their mysterious planet there are four bases to capture - Kerberus, Tarras, Faretra and Diolkos. Use factories to build giant battle robots, similar to Mech units in other games. Commanding robots, capturing factories and defeating enemies in realtime are the player's primary goals. The player controls a small flying robot, instead of mouse cursor. With this robot the player can enter a factory to design unique battle robot from parts like wheels, antigrav, radar, laser gun or nuclear weapons. After that the player has to command the robot. Artificial intelligence works well at first, but in tough times it is possible to control the robot manually. As the balance of power changes with each conquered base, the player must also adjust strategies and tactics."
