@andrew wiskow Do you have a LORD2 with an active playerbase and custom content? Loved the original as a child and discovered I love the sequel even more. If it's still up 7 years later, great work! As time passes, finding a BBS and a lot of classic multiplayer games is becoming increasingly difficult. Our group keeps up about a dozen servers at a given time. I was considering setting up a C64 packet radio BBS awhile ago but never got around to it.

As long as people still tinkering, it will live forever For me,, i prefer the original "in all its non-expanded glory"... I prefer to think of it as the movie industry..... There have ben many releases of 'Lord of The Rings', some based on the story, some not.. At which point do you start saying "It's entertaining still, but its no longer related to the book" and its now nothing but "an adventure" That's it. These modifications of a 8-bit machine remind me exactly of that... Same goes for the Amiga by adding usb ports/hdmi etc It's good you can get C64 online, no question, but the advantages don't really outweigh the need other than just to make life either, or save files.. (i.e your not gonna watch KZbin on a c64 are you) After the original, the rest are entertaing tack-on's

I love that you're doing all this with ancient hardware. The techiest thing I ever did came from not being able to afford the new CD-ROM drives for the Amiga A500. I saved and saved and got a Squirrel SCSI interface and at that time the Commodore CD32 had failed miserably and nobody wanted them. I paid about £10 for one. Connected it to my Amiga via the Squirrel SCSI interface and with a special CD, you could hack the CD32 to be a file server. Here's the funny thing. It would take 4 hours to copy one CD from the CD32 to my Amiga's hard drive hehe. Do I get any nerd cred for that? It's not exactly hooking up a C64 to the internet but ya know, you work with what you've got at the time :)

Dan, Thanks a lot for posting this. I used to run a BBS on C64 and later a 128D I've had way too many 1541's go out of alignment on me, but the 1581s were a welcome upgrade. I remember watching as 2 users that were so amazed they could chat with each other (I had 2 lines in) it was all they could chat about. Then I was a moderator on a big BBS called Top City BBS in Minneapolis, MN. It had over 50 lines in. Thanks for the job down memory lane!

+Alternative EFG People never really used the term a lot during the time. I always asked but nobody ever had the answer for me at the time. I knew we called the 1980's the 80's and the 1990's the 90's and so on, but I always questioned what the actual fuck we should call the 2000's. Imagine my amazement when I discovered people were calling it the noughties or the aughts. I think the meaning is that it means like the word Naught in the saying, "All for naught" where in this case meaning nothing or zero. One thing that really irks me is how people still keep saying things like "Two Thousand and Sixteen" or "Two Thousand Sixteen". Fuck people really? Just say "Twenty Sixteen"! Gotta make it all complicated and shit for nothing. The reason people said things like Two Thousand and one was yes, because it sounded better, but we are in the teens now, stop saying the long count version. You never said One thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine did you? I didn't think so.

Surms41 I do run the audio through a multiband processor to fatten it up a bit, as a result it does lift some frequencies, maybe edging the top end up into the 17KHz area (and make it easier to hear on laptops and tablets). Upon listening closesly with earphones I can kinda hear what you mean but it doesn't sound unbearable, maybe your ears or equipment are more sensitive to it than my shitty logitech PC speakers in here. I'm 31 but have pretty good hearing, I can still hear the tone here just fine! theoatmeal.com/quizzes/sound/ Out of 35,000 views though these are the only comments I've had, but I'll keep an eye (or ear) on it and maybe tweak the audio settings a bit.

Wow this brings back memories of long ago. I just turned 50 and this was my computer and it changed my life forever. I had a paying programming gig after only one year using that machine armed only with the Programmers Reference (which cost most of a weeks pay) and the a book (can't remember the name) that laid out the whole kernal. You could copy it into underlying ram and modify it. I loved that!!!! I used to customize the OS in assembly. So fun! So now, 35 years later, I write autonomous vehicle algorithms for many automakers. Sadly I sold my 64 to a friend in the 90s for $100. This was a standard BBS software back in the day. There happens to be a really easy way to hack it...lol.... I used to gain admin privs all the time on this one. But I'm a good boy now in corporate america. Was never malicious, just nosy. I can explain the flaw in the kernal...but only if it really mattered to anyone. hahaha I can't believe people are hosting old-school BBSs like this. Amazing! Thanks!

I was around when the C64 came out, I had no idea you could get online with it and neither did all my friends who owned C64's. Obviously there were computers that could be networked up going back decades before the C64 but it was a cheap home computer, not a unix server. So forgive me for being impressed seeing it going online and jeez man, less of the Debby downer routine. If someone's impressed, don't try and convince them they shouldn't be. I enjoy being constantly impressed at what computers can do, its part of the fun of being into them.

I think I was 7 or 8 years old when the Com 64 came out and I remember seeing them in homes up until I was like 13 or 14. Brings back about 64 K worth of memories.

So it probably was one of the most informative and thus popular recent videos that were C64 related at the time? I typed C64 into the KZbin search bar now and it did not come up. I am glad it was suggested on the right while I was surfing hardware stuff, because I think it is quite wonderful.

You posted a negative comment on a good video, not even because of any content of the video but because of something for which the creator has no responsibility. And now you attack me with silly accusations for giving a possible explanation for the thing that irritated you. Proud of yourself?

Nice to see that that the old C-64 can still be of use, albeit slowly. I never would have guessed that it could get on the net. Nice to see. I am puzzling over something. One site yo went to listed "zero day warez". Am I to understand that there are still folks out there still writing commercial code for the 64??? Nice to see. Thanks.

Yo! I use to play the commadore every day when I was young. Wasteland on the commadore 64 was and still is the best game. I've melted so many battery boxes in my young age playing it for days straight. Literally melted 😊 memories!

WOW...brings back memories. Logging onto Tristate Online with a C64 and 300 baud modem. To hit the "internet" we had to use GOPHER provided by the University of Cincinnati to access to CUINFO (Cornell University), where you could launch an escape command and TELNET out using the Lynx browser or hit IRC. Spent hours playing Legend of The Red Dragon on that BBS.

Doing this is all about appreciation for the technology that inspired what exists today. Loving all of this and the 5.25" floppy disk too. I have a few of those and lots of 3.5" ones plus their drives that work just fine :) btw the Netgear box is sitting on air vents :( lol

OMG! so many memories I use to help run a BBS back in the the early 90's the "Ironfang Keep" was it's name. and there were a slew of boards that I belonged to. like "Dead Zone", The kennel, wizard world to name a couple. I also belonged to a demo group "RPG" we put out a handful of demos and they were pretty good for the time.

On the Atari 8-bit side of things, we have a NIC cartridge and Contiki port as well but it's a bit limited and there's no real developer community that writes apps for this config so I went a different route. I used a Precidia iPocket232 serialethernet adapter and set it up for modem emulation. I simply plugged it in to my Atari 850 (4xRS232, 1xParallel) and I can use any terminal software I want to connect to remote hosts and I can transfer files either with ZModem or using some of the extensions to the AT command set that support FTP or HTTP transfers. I can also write apps that handle the application layer protocol and let the iPocket do the TCP/IP lifting.

nice master empire :D funny how I still appreciate this kind of game. I used to play alot with turbo C and I make games with it... too bad, I lost them all when all of my 1.44 FD's died on me :( ... anyway, it's a nice video! good to know that there are still goodies at the telnet, bbs, irc. thumbs up to this

Cool. The first BBS you logged on looked like it was a Color 64 BBS, I ran one using that software years ago, 1988 or 1989. The good old days. I didn't even know that anyone was still running those systems, or that there was a way to access them without dialup/modem.
