C64 is the best selling home computer of all time. And yet, Apple II still gets all the credit. Bah!

So they're going to slap an "official" emulator
on a PC and sell it as a 64??? And then try to
charge people for old software? No thanks..

I predict this will be a pathetic flop...

Seems someone at Tulip had dollar signs light up in his eyes when they decided to do that.

Oh well, that's western economy for ye.. :-D If you can beat money out of something, then someone will certainly do just that.

In depth ??? Baahhhh !!

That's not even shallow what they wrote, a mere pile of rubbish.

A true reporter states that some of the acts are given as MAYBE or he CAN'T CHECK them. When Mega games wrote 6 milion all their credability has gone. Poof. They should hae stated that it's a number given to them, and they can't chack it. (Actually no one can !!)

There are no 6 milion users, there is no real comentary from the REAL C64 users (like myself) who think this is plain stupid and looks like a last attemt to make some money before the final stage of oblivion.

In short, Mega games suck with this report, coz I wanna, I can lick Tulip website and say it's wonderful, I don't have to read it again in other place.

:-x :-x

Dunno what causes it, I don't care enough about Windoes to learn causes, only prevention and cleanup. but what happens is you get a requestor asking if you want to install such and such to enhance the page. One of the pop ups is GATOR My wife fell for that before :-x Cleaning up that mess was no fun :-x
