Commodore OS Vision (due for release shortly) allows you to play all your favorite 8-bit era games with a single click.

It even has the option to boot right into the original C64's full screen READY prompt (left), where you can also launch classic games.


Don't forget that the new Commodore 64 is a fully functional PC compatible, so you can even install and use the latest versions of Windows if you really feel you need to. We provide a beautiful graphical boot menu at start up from which Windows can be selected to run, so you needn't lose any of the functionality of the new C64's included operating systems. Commodore OS Vision comes with the WINE compatibility layer pre-installed which is capable of running some Windows software. VirtualBox is also included with Commodore OS Vision, allowing you to install Windows and run Windows software in a seamless mode.

Thanks for posting. If I still had my old sports games for the c64, I would be tempted. I loved Microleague Baseball and Statis-Pro baseball for the c64.

Let's see. For the computer in the baseball genre I still own APBA Baseball for Windows, Diamond Mind, Action PC Baseball, Strat-o-Matic, and Replay PC Baseball. I'm kind of a nut when it comes to sports games that simulate real life players. In that regard I never grew up. But I do think keeping stats for dice baseball games when I was a young kid did sharpen my math skills.

Dave, if you haven't tried Replay PC Baseball, you may want to give it a look. Sorry to others for being a bit off topic.

Tom, it you want it, I have a copy of Ultra Scan that runs on a PC. It runs under DOS, and is manual entry, but it functions.

I'd love one, but not at that price, thank you very much. :bang:
