I´m addicted: the good ol´times

When I found this site, my eyes became wet: c64.com offers all (and I really mean *all*) C64 games I have ever played - and I played lots of them. You can download every single one of them there *for free*. Remember "vermeer", or may favourite game "kennedy approach"? So, the first thing I did was to find a suitable emulator. And there is one very good for mac osx, it´s called "frodo". It is very good and stable, though it had problems to realize my keyboard as a "joystick". But I wanted the full experience: Since I´ve a modchipped Xbox (xecuter 2) with a build in 60gb HD and running linux-ftp server, I got FrodoX - a Frodo port to the Xbox - and it really kicks ass...It recognizes the gamepads as joystick devices, and if you ever need keyboard support for any game , you can choose letters from a quicklist. I´m back in the good ol´days! But know what: Somehow I had in my mind, that the graphics of the games were much better - it´s a case of childish phantasie...;-)
