Oh, I forgot to mention I am wearing a t-shirt that has the words “DESTROY HIM MY ROPBOTS” emblazoned across the front with a picture of the same shooting a bolt of its deadly electricity!

It's also mighty nice to be able to warp the thing to 14MHz, during those painfully slow elevator rides!

The graphics surely looked smoother on a tv set. One downside of most emulators is that they render pixels with a stark rigidity that a tv set, by its nature, tends to soften. One nice thing about MESS is that it will—by default even—blur the video a bit. But it's not nearly as convenient as the likes of VICE.

One of the lovely conveniences that VICE offers is saving the state of the emulator. This enabled me to get through all of the rooms of Impossible Mission the first day that i played it, without having to suffer repeating the early rooms several times—which i've always hated in any game. (Enter a room, alt-S, die alt-L, die alt-L, die alt-L, die alt-L, …) I didn't get all of the puzzle pieces though. (Nor did i have a manual.)

Good old memories… thanks for reviving!

I remember the grafics quite differently though.

Loved the C64's speech too – especially S.A.M. Here's the “another visitor” quote – at the beginning of an ode to my C64… S.A.M. was used for the “15-41″
