Why not stick to the real C64, for the real look and feel?That's what I do (plus a x1541 cable that is)

Absolutely.  I occasionally play a C64 game or two on my A3000, but, it just isn't the same.  I don't mind having to rub the RUN/STOP key in a circle whilst pressing it REALLY hard and slamming the RESTORE key with a full swing.  Heck, I've done it for two thirds of my life. :lol:
Honetsly though, I always FIX my C64s when they start doing those sorts of things.

Frodo is great.  But, it's still no C64.  And, I still can't get Beyond Castle Wolfenstein to work on it.  (Although, that's the main reason I keep an Apple ][e around).

Geez!  I have long fingers.  I can put my thumb on C and hit E on the next octave with my pinky with no trouble.  But, I can't imagine doing the RUN/STOP-RESTORE thing one handed.  Although, maybe I'm remembering wrong, it's been a while.

The RESTORE hammering was a well known charactaristic of the C64.  I always wondered if it was a real mechanical problem, or some sort of timing issue.  Because, some times you can hit it real soft and it works just fine, other times you really have to smack it.

A guy I know keeps his C64 in the same computer desk as his main computer, an A3000 (We installed a second keyboard slide for the C64).  He's had the same C64 since he was a kid.  EVERY key on that thing requires ALL your weight on it, and you have to wiggle your thumb in a circle to get the key to work.  Then, you end up getting two characters and have to do the same with the INSerT/DEL key (you know, the one everyone always calls Instant Delete :lol: )
He doesn't think it's unusual to have to work that hard to type something in.  I remember seeing him type in huge BASIC programs in high school, he looked like he was having a siezure.

Not sure what, exactly, makes a console "next-gen".

It has to be something drastically different than any previous game system.  I'd definately say the Vee qualifies, the others simply do not.

they believe what matters is delivering an innovative and improved game-playing experience.

This is what I admire about Nintendo.  I don't particularly like the Vee, but I do like what they did.  I don't like all the cookie cutter games on the other systems.  I still like the Intellivision, which at it's time, was kind of like the Vee.  The games just had a different quality than those of any of the other systems.  The 3DO was the same way.  All the good 3DO games had actors and live video, not unlike a movie, mostly non-computer-generated.  Something I really think was a good idea.  No one else really did that.

Nintendo is building games based on game play.
Everyone else is building games based on the hardware.
