Sony Creative Software has released our loop and sample library called,

from each of the following computers/consoles: Apple II, Commodore 64, NES,

made with Prophet 64/Sidstation/Sight & Sound Music and we used both the

bass and synth to special effects. Both Michelle (aka ComputeHer) and I have
featured song demos built into the collection to boot!  read more »

Submitted by Snogpitch on Mon, 04/06/2009 - 02:17.
  • General Commodore News

For those that know, what this is about, send in your pre-orders now!

For those that do not, check it out:

The C64NIC+ is a Retro Replay/TFE compatable ethernet cartridge. This was a culmination of effort of Jim Brain, CCCC, Eric Pratt and even some ideas from Bil Herd!

Jim has spent a great deal of time engineering a new, low cost ethernet solution and the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club is now accepting pre-orders.

There are also some surprises on the board, so check out this thread over at retro-hackers:  read more »

Amigathering IX photos to see!

Submitted by RobertB on Fri, 03/20/2009 - 07:22.
  • Events and Expos

Photos from the June 28-29, 2008 Amigathering IX have now been e-published at

http://www.dickestel.com/commgreece.htm

Amigathering IX was held on the Greek isle of Rodos (Rhodes). Not only was it an Amiga event, but it also had a Commodore flavor (the Commodore 8-bitters were very popular with the gamers). My thanks to the Amigahellas.gr for taking care of me. As my hosts would tease me, "It's all Greek to me!"

My thanks to Dick Estel for hosting the pictures.
