And there we have it: replacement 6502 and 6522s from Rockwell for the gutted 1541 I repaired a couple of weeks ago. Now the drive is back into full working order!
The 6522 chips are relatively new and not MOS branded, but I think it's better than a non-working drive! #retrocomputing#commodore#c64#floppydisk
Still one of our fave C64 purchases - a homemade Goldene breadbin with a matching Suncom Inc. thumb-stick (which is detachable). This the best best way to play Wizard of Wor ;-)
Ich habe gerade eine Einladung zu einem der nächsten Computerclub Treffen für Retro Freunde bekommen. Da lerne ich dann hoffentlich noch einige Gleichgesinnte mehr kennen.

I had completely forgotten that Boulder Dash had some sort of red tomato head Wally as main character and not some sort of pixel art insect, which it looked like in game...
Another evening of "work" and I finished implementing the chainlighting spell for our #roguelike on #c64 . The problem was there were too many enemies and so I died (also I had to spend two turns standing still to recover stamina).
The animation is a bit fast, but you should still be able to appreciate @politopo 's great #pixelart
Our onsite team (= @franky ) is all set up to broadcast live onsite from the X-party in Someren, Holland. So if you can't be there in person, follow on Twitch or Scenesat.
Interesting fault: After playing around with my childhood C64 breadbin from 1983, the screen suddenly lost all contrast and went very dark. #retrocomputing#commodore#c64 1/3
I finally finished Sam‘s Journey and I must say it’s an extremely well done game. I „only“ got 63% score, so retrying a couple of the levels will definitely be on the menu! #commodore#c64#retrogaming#SamsJourney
