I hate to say it but my only programming experience was with my basic cartiridge on my Atari 800.

I programmed a full fledged text game in the spirt of the "chose your own adventure novel" kind of thing.

I even did a full graphic intro screen if I remember correctly?

Saved to cassette tape so I'm sure its lost forever....

I wouldn't be too negative, my CPC tapes still work fine and I've many tapes which have outlived some CD's of mine.

Hey, is this turning into C64.Org or what

Commodore.org would be a good idea since it could include both Commodore and Amiga machines

@AeroMan:

There's an episode where there is a picture of one of Bender's ancestors on the wall, and the caption reads "COMMODORE LXIV".  It's really quick.  I didn't catch it right away.  A few minutes later I was ROFLing.

@Spihunter:

If C= written tapes are as good as C= written disks, I'd guess your tape is still good.  C= disk drives have very strong magnets.  On an Apple ][, you could always use both sides of single sided disks.  With C= drives, unless you had really good double sided disks, writing on one side would trash the other.
Besides, for some reason, tapes stay magnetised a long time as long as you don't store them on top of your monitor.

I got my start on the Commodore 64, version 1 (Vic-20). Loved that machine.

That's not a "Commodore 64 version 1" that's a "Commodore VIC20". :-)

C64 was cool, it was my first computer. I gave it up though when I got an Amiga. The Amiga was so far ahead of the C64 it was not even funny.

;-) I recall coding my C64 to create an editor to print lables for my backup copies of Amiga magazine cover disks.  One backup per coverdisk, then they'd be stored separately and anything I wanted to install would be installed from the backup.

Once Amiga magizines started using CD's I stopped using my editor....
