Congrats on some great finds. If you can program in Basic it will give you some good programing experience. Mike

If you like RPG type games look for A Bards tale or ultima for C64 they were awesome back in the day.

Bard's tale was my absolute favorite game on the 64.

I need to take a picture of my 64 stash I have been accumulating. Still working out the space and time to test everything, but I have a Commodore monitor and several units as well as several 1541 drives that all need to be tested and then sold.

Nice haul there aussy kid.
