I am interested in getting a "Turbo Chameleon" from Individual Computer.

Is there anybody with some experience with this module for the Commodore C64? ...

Weird stuff happens when you poke video control registers after line 255

Se avete avuto un #c64 negli anni ottanta lo avete giocato quasi sicuramente su cassetta pirata dell'edicola.

Senza sapere che il suo titolo era "Raid On Bungeling Bay" e che è stato il primo gioco realizzato da Will Wright, il pluripremiato autore di SimCity e The Sims.

Why do people continue to talk about the “future of Amiga”? Like <insert random product here> is the future of Amiga. Would they also say something like the “C64OS is the future of C64”? Or ZX Spectrum Next is the future of ZX Spectrum?

I don’t get it. Can someone explain?

If I had to choose a favorite arcade game soundtrack from the 1980s, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. It would be "Magical Sound Shower" from Sega's classic 1986 Out Run driving game.

Composed by Hiroshi Kawaguchi using FM synth tech, it's such an uplifting tune. I love it, and it brings back childhood memories of spending more cash than I should have in order to race around in a Ferrari with a blonde bombshell sitting next to me. 😎

@ooRay_creation When it comes to computer music in general, my top picks would be:

● Monty on the Run, Commodore 64 (Rob Hubbard)
● Magical Sound Shower, Out Run, arcade
● Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, arcade and C64 / Amiga (arranged by Tim Follin).
● Rambo intro / title screen, C64 (Martin Galway).
● Streets of Rage, Megadrive.
● This tune by our own game music composer Ramon Braumuller:
