C64 is the best selling home computer of all time.  And yet, Apple II still gets all the credit.  Bah!

So they're going to slap an "official" emulator
on a PC and sell it as a 64??? And then try to
charge people for old software? No thanks..

I predict this will be a pathetic flop...

Why am I visualizing the Fox Dr Who movie or that horrid Star Blazers movie Disney attempted?

Seems someone at Tulip had dollar signs light up in his eyes when they  decided to do that.

Oh well, that's western economy for ye.. :-D If you can beat money out of something, then someone will certainly do just that.

In depth ??? Baahhhh !!

That's not even shallow what they wrote,  a mere pile of rubbish.

A true reporter states that some of the acts are given as MAYBE or he CAN'T CHECK them. When Mega games wrote 6 milion all their credability has gone. Poof. They should hae stated that it's a number given to them, and they can't chack it. (Actually no one can !!)

There are no 6 milion users, there is no real comentary from the REAL C64 users (like myself) who think this is plain stupid and looks like a last attemt to make some money before the final stage of oblivion.

In short, Mega games suck with this report, coz I wanna, I can lick Tulip website and say it's wonderful, I don't have to read it again in other place.

Dunno what causes it, I don't care enough about Windoes to learn causes, only prevention and cleanup. but what happens is you get a requestor asking if you want to install such and such to enhance the page. One of the pop ups is GATOR :evil:  :evil: My wife fell for that before :-x Cleaning up that mess was no fun :-x
