Dont be in such a hurry to grow up, since there's nothin' a kid can't do.
Maybe its because I don't play very many phone games, but Republique having an app store link to Infinity Blade in it is absolutely nuts to me. I was surprised they didn't have more of a reaction to that when it first came up.

Is it my imagination or was there a Commodore that used cartridges? It's been so long I hardly remember anything from that era anymore.

Yes, the C64GS. I only saw one once, and the dude didn't have many games for it. I thought it was a really dumb thing at the time.

The normal ones also supported cartridges. I had a funky looking cartridge that helped loading (?) games if I remember correctly.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! I think it was just for boot software and memory expansion like the N64, I don't know that there were any actual games for it. Though I might be wrong since I never owned one myself.

Yeah there was a cartridge slot on the normal ones for peripherals and other weird stuff. My dad had one when I was a kid and had a 2400 (I think, it was horribly slow) baud modem and some kind of crazy voice synth that sounded like satan gargling battery acid that plugged in to an expansion slot.

It's collective of everyone whose donated, but also donating gets you entered in prize pools, so you might as well put your money towards a donation incentive as well. I wish they'd all settled on something for one of the other characters, RyanD was the clear winner for most of the marathon.

It definitely did have games on cartridges as well. I think I had The Last Ninja and perhaps a few more.

The C64's chipset (The VIC II and SID chips) were originally designed for a cartridge-based console, the Commodore Ultimax. I think though it was never released, except perhaps test runs in some markets, but the C64's manual still had some stuff about Ultimax compatibility mode in it.

I'd love to see what someone could make as a game now days using the actual limitations of a system like the C64. Not this "it looks sort of like a C64 game but not really" kind of poo poo, but someone making a game that could actually run on the system.

A lot of the old techniques for being super duper tight about your coding are probably lost to the sands of time now but if you got one of those Scene Demo dudes on board...
