As for C-64, there is CCS: http://www.computerbrains.com/ccs64/. And literally any game you look for can be found here: http://www.thegamearchives.com/

CCS works like a charme on any current PC. With a Competition Pro USB Joystick it's very very close to the real thing (just your TFT is probably better than a tv screen)

As for original IBM keyboards, sometimes they are available on ebay like this one:

Also I know some guys who frequently sell them -- if you want a contact, PM me.

Here in Sweden this time of year it´s pretty much dark 24-7.
Specially now when it´s only raining when it should be snowing.
Besides that I usually play late hours and having a backlit keyboard helps a lot.

I'm still using my old Keytronic keyboard I got in 1997. Its survived 10 moves, 2 degrees, and lots of chat rooms!

Yea, i have a few of those here as backup pieces... as they always work and last forever. Only thing is the annoying key clicking. Currently i'm using another IBM keyboard which is ps/2
http://www.zoooz.com/keyboard/givent...ile/7953-1.jpg

as my "mini" full size black USB bit the dust awhile back and i have yet to find another one at a decent price

I'm hard on them as i tend to beat on them at times while playing COD4 or other frustrating online shooters.

my damn stock microsoft keyboard has the habit of getting me to fire torpedoes when i mean to up the TC.... however believe this or not (your choice) while conducting a night attack, i tried to put up the TC, low and behold the damn thing fired an eel... massive swearing ensued and then after 1:34 minutes KABOOM!!!! TORPEDO HIT HERR KALEUN!!!

my jaw hit the floor and i nearly pissed myself.

When you pull into port, dont lull yourself into a false sense of security, your mines and subnets are just a petty challenge for my crew and I.

That's one of the drawbacks about playing stock

No, not launching eels by mistake.......wetting yourself :rotfl:
