Do an unboxing video and show my Xmas 1983 C64 Breadbin being moved from its desk of 42 years to being wall hung. Then placing my new Founders edition onto the desk, connecting it to the 1702 CRT monitor and the 1st power up.

Test the C64 game I am making on it. Do some experimenting with ‘faster processor mode’? Probably spend ages getting colours I like for the LEDs.

Install 2 additional SIDs and power up my High Voltage Sid Collection from SD Card

unbox it

My first ever unboxing video. I'll put it on youtube and tag you in 🥰

Type in "Hello World"

I'll play Project Firestart until I complete it. Earlier this year I drawn map of the station (playing on emu), and I have a couple of routes that could work.

To use a quote from a favorite #C64 game as a kid, once the #Commodore64 Ultimate is powered up, I'd... ..."Stay a while, stay forever!"

I will uncork a good bottle of wine 👍

Boot up GEOS and marvel at it running full speed. Then check out the games, of course!

Probably squeal like a 90s teenager at a Boyzone concert 😂

Another related question: Will you be able to unbox it without tears in your eyes because of your lovely childhood memories?

Tears will be shed. Tears of joy...

Will I be able to resist opening it until Christmas morning to experience that magical feeling all over again I wonder? ❤️ #CommodoreMagic #RetroMemories #WeAreCommodore #Commodore64

Relive Xmas 1984 as I open it. Then play my game OutRun PETSCII. Then play a few select other games from my fave list including Paradroid and Citadel. Then try to persuade the wife it really does look good under the main TV downstairs.

Probably keep it at a save place and wait for the Commodore 64 II Ultimate 😅 Or the 128 Ultimate 👍

If you can get it to me before I'm deployed then great! If not i'll have to wait a further 4 months 😞

Test ... SYS 64738 .. ;)

🤩🤩🤩🤩

10 PRINT "Damn, I've missed this!" 20 GOTO 10 RUN

@freedom_nys oh look they put faggo waggo lights in it. That didnt take long.

Play sid music and write new ones.

Impossible Mission "stay a while .... stay forever!"

Retype my very first CBM64 program: 10 print "crazy person "; 20 goto 10 RUN

Eat a Wimpy.

Time to break out the zines

Gonna hook it up to my 1802 and two 1541’s and start typing away. I have about 300 disks, but I like to write my own programs.

I'll keep up with him because he is keeping up with me.

Connect to my capture card and prepare for the stream on @Twitch!

-- Uhmmm... Be shocked that someone bought it for me? XD

Load the delta loader, and listen to the fabulous Rob Hubbard theme. Listening with the leds .

Take a picture (selfie) of course! Unfortunately I have no pictures from old times (80s) with my Drean Commodore 64C. 😔

Load Mercenary and Escape from Targ one more time!

It is an amazing machine but doing it with fpga, giving it lots of ram etc was going in the wrong direction, against the spirit of "retro" and this machine..

![🎶Blue Monday by New Order on the Commodore 64 👍Turn it up! It will transport you back to 1983! Just discovered this absolute gem on CSDb: "Blue Monday [2025]" – a mind-blowing C64 chiptune cover of New Order's classic! Nordischsound (of Hokuto Force, PET SCIIENTISTS, and more) poured his SID mastery into this, hitting us 40 years late but right on time! That throbbing bass, killer drums, and synths? MAGIC!!!! The more you listen the better it gets 10/10 from me. Download from CSDB and try it on your C64, TheC64 or Commodore 64 Ultimate today.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2017371598563774802/media/G_80tDWbEAEMWhO.jpg)
