Years a go I used to play a game caled “The Hobbit” on a C64.

I never finished the game, always got killed off right towards the end having got the treasure and stuff…anyway, this game was on tape and I am trying to get it on CD but having no luck.

Can anyone out there help?🙂

Yes I do actually but you wouldn’t like her, she’s a lesbian you see with large breasts and a propensity for wild bacchanalian orgies…and stuff.

I used to have a game on tape for the Commodore 64. It was a flight simulator. I used to practice taking off from Kennedy or LaGuardia and flying between the trade towers. Chilling to remember.

ZOE: I had loads of games for the 64 but gave them all away along with the 64 itself. Apparently these are collectors items now, bugger!!!  
Those games used to take for ever to load and one mistake…kerblam!!
