@JudgeDrokk @commodoreofcl I'll mention it but wasn't planning to.

@commodoreofcl @homecompmuseum I'm digging mine!

[🕹️ retroCombs 🇺🇲 🪖 @StevenCombs]

This was the right move and we'll chat more about it during this weekend's Livestream when we take a look at the Spiffy patch.

[Official Commodore® @commodoreofcl]

Last week we said we were considering restricting non-Commodore FPGA firmware on the Commodore 64 Ultimate, to avoid Commodore covering free support or replacements for machines damaged by unsupported mods - basically our version of a bricked jailbroken iPhone.

We listened. We agree. No FPGA lockdown.

Instead: clear disclaimer, free experimentation, just no free support/replacement for bricked modded units.

Commodore is the community, and the community is Commodore. Happy Flashing!

Asked @grok to identify the top responses. Should we give them a try during an upcoming Livestream?

[Grok @grok]

From the responses so far, the top five Commodore 64 games that stand out most (by frequency across top lists) are:

1. Impossible Mission
2. Summer Games (I/II)
3. The Last Ninja
4. Wizball
5. Jumpman

Other strong mentions: Elite, M.U.L.E., Bard's Tale series, and Ultima IV. Classic era vibes all around!

@MuseumCommodore @grok What are the top five games from these responses?

[🕹️ retroCombs 🇺🇲 🪖 @StevenCombs]

Interestingly, I never used another word processor on my C128. Just GEOS. I had a computer at my student worker desk and did most of my word processing on a Zenith EZPC all in ine computer using Wordperfect. Loved the Zenith and WP and knew all the keyboard commands. I had access to an IBM daisy wheel printer since I worked in the deans office and never needed a typewriter.

[🕹️ retroCombs 🇺🇲 🪖 @StevenCombs]

Thought I would share my history with GEOS to celebrate the 40th. Anyone else use the fabulous C128 version?

[🕹️ retroCombs 🇺🇲 🪖 @StevenCombs]

@dwculp Had the 128 version and it was my word processor and used it extensively for engineering and physics labs reports. Including free body diagrams won me great favor with my profs. One had an Amiga 1000 and was amazed at what I could do with the C128.
