Discussion about Commodore micros

Does anyone have (or know where I could get) the two games: The Big
Sleaze, The Pawn? They are not available at c64.com, though. I tried
Google, went to www.classic-pc-games.com and after creating an account
there I noticed I’d been had (they won’t let you download anything,
before you actually install something on your computer…). :/

Check this out!  ComputerWorld had a really good article of the best
OSes over the last 20 years and GEOS for 64/128 was one of them.  It
was right up there with MSDOS, Windows and Mac.

Dusted off my Commies, and fired those bad boys up.

My 128D could only read 1 disk occasionally.

One of my 1571′s couldn’t read anything.

The other 2 71′s booted both "Leather Goddess or Phobos" by infocom,
and GEOS 2.0 on the C-64.

Is it worth realigning the wonky drives, and how would i go about
doing that these days?
Also, what’s the CHEAPEST source for RELIABLE 5.25" NEW media.

Notice the words "CHEAPEST" "RELIABLE" and "NEW" are in caps.
2 out of 3 of these criteria being met are NOT acceptable.

I also have a 1541 that need testing, and might need a realignment.

Is there anywhere I can submit Commodore poetry on the Internet?  I’d
prefer to make money off of it.

HI!
     I am floating around the idea of making a TV version of
Retrogaming Times Monthly, called Retrogaming Times TV, which would be
hosted on YouTube. It would be a central place to post videos on old
games for anything (reviews, homemade classic videogame cartoons,
interviews, etc). Thought I would mention that this could happen if I
can get enough people to submit videos to me. Old video game
commercials, interviews, etc would be able to be posted to this new TV
effort, just not something that somebody already has made himself and
posted on YouTube (such as a review done recently that already is on-
line on YouTube).
     I was thinking of including many of the videos on RTTV also in
Retrogaming Times Monthly at its website, www.retrogamingtimes.com,
therefore giving videos posted on Retrogaming Times TV airtime at both
YouTube and the on-line magazine. To those interested in this venture,
send me an e-mail at br…@retrogamingtimes.com. Thought it would be
neat to have both print and video outlets for Retrogaming Times
Monthly!

"Kind of Like MTV for Retrogamers"

P.S. Spread the word around about this to your friends so that
everyone that might be interested knows about this new effort for the
on-line magazine.

Sincerely,

Bryan Roppolo

Ok, thought that might get your attention. any thoughts?

Think he should make an appearance, maybe let people know he is
"back"?

any suggestions?
