It is indeed sad to think of my reliable ol' Mod-I (16K L-II cassette
and Stringy-Floppy) as hopelessly out-of-date, but it is.  I bought a
C-64 a couple of years ago so I can keep playing games, and use the
Mod-I for "real" computing.  Ya know, even at 1.77 MHz the L-II Basic is
pretty darn quick.  And in assembler the Mod-I can outperform C code on
the VAX/750...

My favorite Mod-I game was Starfighter, by Sparky Starks, distributed
by Adventure International.  What an inspired piece of work -- the game
play is still way advanced beyond anything I've found for the C-64,
but it's a little short on the sound and graphics end :-)

Of course, who could forget the Scott Adams adventure series... I'm
*still* trying to complete #5 (The Count).

While we're reminiscing, anyone remember CLOAD "magazine"?  They had
some fairly good stuff, 'til they folded (taking my $50 renewal fee
before they'd delivered my first renewal "issue").
