I always see consoles selling for $60 but when it comes the C64 they charge in the $100s. I want to buy a C64 cheap but don't nowhere to look or who to ask.
>(all so recomend first C64 games)

Just emulate it you retard

>> No.9464562

It is probably a better experience to emulate it, actually. The load times, for example, were horrendous on the C64.

>> No.9464601

The fact you are asking for games recommendations suggests you have no experience with the C64. As other anons have said, save your money and emulate. Good chance you’ll be bored soon and stop.

I'm not saying you should emulate instead of buying one, but seriously my dude. Get an emulator and take it around the block first.

Itch.io has some newer games that I think are worth your while.

I would much more recommend a C64C than a breadbin for reliability reasons although NTSC units are somewhat uncommon.

keep your eye on ebay. you're not going to find systems cheaper than $100 anymore.

with drive and tape emulation, you are experiencing the exact same loading times with an emulator. with or without an emulator, fastload carts exist and have existed for over 35 years.

you're quite the genius. it's because of retards like yourself that this board is dead and nobody comes here to ask for advice on computers, because you know less than op.

my advice is to get a lot from craigslist or ebay marketplace, it's pretty much the only price effective way to get into C64 collecting these days. I got all this a few years ago for $200, cleaned up nicely.

If you got a C64C however you can skip the last step.

Separate Anon but I too wish I could get an Amiga but realize the prices are crazy and I would probably just get a hard drive mod anyway. I really just wish they sold a keyboard that was like it if you could believe it.

t. dude who found a CRT monitor for free in his area and will just get a cheapo IBM looking keyboard to hook up to an old PC to just play DOSBox etc

I have no idea what you are talking about. I had a C64. The best recommendation for someone who never owned one is to emulate and then if they really need to buy one then do so.
Are you just a reseller shill or something?
Either way fuck off you are unpleasant.
