*ducks tomatoes* Alright, alright! The comic started when I was going through one of my fits of obsession. This time, it was Tron (Hey, last time I had my Tron obsession was when I was 10 years old.) Now, it's gotten worse since I found out that it came out three days after I was born. To make matters worse, I started to remember my first computer, a Commodore 64. God, I loved that computer. Stable compared to my piece of @#$%! computer (but, that's only because Windows 98 is on it.) Heck, it outlived Packard Bell. (Which shows you how much bad these PB computers were. It lasted for 5 years after 4 hd deaths. C64 lasted around 15-16 years then I had to give it up... wasn't my choice.) Anyway, I went through these two websites: www.old-computers.com and http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/. I was like, "Well, damn, there was a Golden Commodore 64?" Then I started to think a little more about the computer. Why not a web comic? I was trying to start a web comic about my original series last year but I eventually gave up. So... it was born. (Blame the dream I had of an old man getting my c64 to work and giving it back to me. I bawled when I woke up.) I had a couple of ideas how to set up C-64 Girl. I was thinking of her as a super-cool chick who knows how to use computers and such. Until I accidentally put myself in the second strip and I was like ... why not... a SOUL of the computer? Okay, so I'm warped, but, hey. The dream will be related to the comic soon as I feel like I've done enough strips to show the history. :)
List of C64 games that I had. (Underlined means: I have them again, but bought from ebay or other sources or were donated to me!) Carts: Gorf, Lemans, Radar Rat Race, Starpost, Jupiter Lander, Super Smash, Kickman, and (I can't remember the name of this game, but it was broken, I think.) Fast loader and Koala painter Disks: African Adventure, Star Trek (three versions), Aliens, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (this was also for NES. I got TMNT in Christmas 1990 XD), Pool of Raidance, Curse of the Azure Bounds, Secret of the Silver Blades, Dragonlance, Bard's tale... erg, mostly RPGs. Blame my dad. Cassettes: I don't remember any but I definitely had the drive as you can see in the pics of moi. XP Misc: Floppy disk drive, cassette driver, tablet, joy sticks, and wheel-type thingie. (The joysticks and wheel thingies could be used with Atari 2600. Even better, they WERE the Atari ones!) Oh, crud. *throws in the C64 printer too* Yeah, I had a printer. I don't think I saw it that much, but I *DEFINITELY* remember it as well as the cassette driver. I have a second C64! I won this one from ebay for only 41 bucks. The things I need are listed above which are what I had. ^^; Finding them all will be a challenge! --Kia Purity [Gallery] |
