Everything's got a beginning. Maybe an end too.
Welcome to my Videogames Gallery, a journey through 20 years of passion and gaming.
Everything started 20 years ago with a Commodore 16, "the machine that changed my life".
Since it was lost (and wasn't mine, for that matter), I replaced it with a Commodore Plus4, which is almost the same stuff except that it carries 64k of Ram memory (instead of 16) and has a slightly better keyboard layout. Games are exactly the same for both machines, but 64k's ones only run on Plus4.
Commodore thought it was a good idea making a new, unexpensive, ready-to-use machine, so they put 3 programs (a word processor, a spreadsheet and a graphic calculator) and a debugger into a rom chip inside the computer, and made a new, flexible basic language. Although very powerful, the machine suffered the lack of a dedicated graphic and sound processor, and software support was awkward to say least.
American audience didn't forgive that, and was pretty disappointed because Plus4 was a great chance to improve the milion-selling Commodore 64. They started to tease the machine calling it "minus 60" (one of the funniest computer jokes I've ever heard, indeed) and after a couple of years completely forgot the P4.
Europe was a little more tender, and Commodore 16 and Plus 4 actually sold pretty well, expecially in eastern countries, where computers were almost unknown and too expensive.
I am especially fond of this machine, because it was my first gaming experience, when I was six. Now I'm searching the web for my favourite cassettes, Reach For The Sky, Ikari Warriors and Demolition, hoping to find them at a fair price.
A Restoration, cleaning and maintenance on a Commodore 64 c. I have used the keys from a broken Commodore Vic=20, to replace some of the original keys of the Commodore 64 c. I used bleach to clean the keys, and an air compressor to blow the keys dry, and remove the dust from the parts. This Commodore 64 c is fully working at this moment. The most photo's of this restoration, are taken with my smartphone in stead of the Nikon D5200. The Commodore 64, the Commodore Vic=20, and the Commodore 64c, have the same keyboard mechanism. Only the color of the keys are different.

Project 3.6.5. Picture 138/365
I counted 163 Canucks Jerseys on the way home tonight. Several of them were lined up outside the Commodore Ballroom and this guy walked by and high-fived them all. I thought it was the perfect Project 3.6.5. picture.
Btw: We beat the Sharks 7-3 tonight! Go Canucks Go!!!

Built in 1936 and designed by Henry Hohauser, it was made from inexpensive materials, featuring concrete block facades. This Art Deco creation is rich in ornamentals specific to the period: eyebrows, curved corners, and four round emblems, called “bosses” descending along the side, which provided an “odd charm” to the place, but also fodder for the anti-preservationists, who claimed that “eyesores” like this weren’t worth preserving.
A lovely nymphalid, meet the Fashion Commodore (Precis pelarga)
Spotted on a secluded hedge of Yellow Bush basking in the morning sun.
She took flight upon sudden intrusion only to return again like a typical nymphalid would do. Again, she flew away to a new location on the hedge as I reached closer. She is solitary, and probably territorial.
I always approached with caution, and then she'll take off playing hard to get.
We got acquainted eventually, but not after an intense game of hide and seek spanning almost fifteen minutes. Phewww!
