I'm loving my C64U.
The original C64 got me into tech. The most accessible way to get into assembly / machine code. Those of the engineers who skipped that (including most in their mid-40s like me) just don't have that level of understanding of computers. It's a shame. I think that everyone should start on machines like this. Or even a level lower.
Same, got it last Christmas and it became the "family computer". At the moment I'm trying to beat Wizball on it. Great stuff!
Impossible Mission for me; didn't realise that it's actually a good game. Very very good for the time too.
I love the game, but it was truly impossible back then (pirated, no manual, no idea what I had to do) and even today, with an emulator and every hint on the internet ;)
I know it's not actually impossible, some people finished it, but I never have.
Bruce Lee and The Last Ninja though, I can finish either with my eyes closed!
