Oh god that was such a hard game! I'd use the epyx or the tac2 or slick stik for those for the short throw. Now, in track and field I was fast enough that I could do the 100M in like 2-3s, haha! All you saw were legs!
Ditto.
Brings back such memories of my brother and I playing games together. We still have our 'high scores book' (somehwere) where we would write our personal bests.I was luckier than most, having the 1702 with the y/c cable for clear rear hookups (which looks gorgeous even today). I found out that it was a rebranded JVC studio monitor as I would see one on the local weather broadcast in the background. I had that and jiffydos installed in our c64 as well as 2 1541s, an mps802 printer and the commodore mps-1200 printer, aka citizen 120d. That and about 14 joysticks for me while my brother did very well with the Wyco Boss. My dad had no issues funding it all as he made us use microsoft multiplan as well as write all his letters and even a full partnership agreement. We got fast at hunt and peck so when the Model M fell below my hands and I took typing class, I feel into typing heaven.

I actually still have all this original gear as well as some more commodore setups I've acquired over the years. I tried to turn on our original c64 with jiffydos a few years (decade?) back and it didn't work, so I'm guessing it will need some work.
Such memories of such happy times. Thank you for inspiring the trip.
Thank you! Nope, don't plan to keep trying like that. I've got some others that are stock and probably still work so that would be my test bed. Oddly enough, norelco made this little 'air filter' that fit perfectly on top of the c64 psu so we always had that turn on and run when the system was on. We also had 2 fans that blew on the 1541s in a custom 2x4 rack that we made for stacking them since my dad wouldn't buy us the dual stack kit with the fan built-in, lol. It will be a while before I get to fix the c64, and hopefully I won't have to just pass it on to a new home, but I fear the wife and life will make me do that.
