Commodore 64: 8 Bit Legend

Impressive video showing off some of the most popular games of the C64 and the biggest or most famous groups in the C64 demoscene. Must have taken ages to make.

Skip forward to 10:00 into the video for a message from Jim Butterfield. Though recorded in the 80’s I presume, the message still applies. Programming can be fun.

C64 fans will like this theme

If you’re a fan of that strikingly handsome and powerful computer, the Commodore 64, you will no doubt be itching to try this Commodore theme for WordPress. It turns your blog into what every C64 owner saw when they powered on the computer. I’m disappointed it doesn’t retain the 40 character line but I guess some exceptions had to be made “in the name of progress”. We didn’t have Youtube back then either but if we did you can be sure it would be full of dodgy VHS copies of Glenroe and Cheers.

Of much more interest to a certain demographic would be a WordPress theme that embeds blog posts in an Amiga intro or C64 intro using HTML5? Someone will read a DYCP version of this post, right?
