I'm new here, but over the past few years, I've taken quite an interest in the C64.
I've had somewhat of a curiosity about commodore computers ever since my dad brought me home my very first computer to call my own (however, not my first computer).
An Amiga 1000, complete in perfect condition, with an external disk drive, a Commodore 1080 monitor...but...damnit...no kickstart or workbench disks! (or any disks for that matter).
Dad got rid of it a week later
Anyways, I grew up on an Apple II+ (ducks in case of flying eggs)
Anyways, I'm sick of emulators. I want a real one. (Somehow, some demos can detect that my emulator doesn't have a real VIC-II) Does anyone have a Commodore 64/128 in the SW Washington or NW Oregon area that they could part with for a reasonable price? (or give away, but let's be realistic). I'm from Longview, WA, but Portland, OR is a hop skip and jump from here.
Oh, and, is it possible to convert an NTSC C64 or C128 to PAL? I found (another) 1080 monitor that supposedly supports both, but I'd prefer PAL because most demos run kinda funky on NTSC systems (at least in emulation)
