    Pranks for watching. I started to believe this myself after a while! Hope you enjoyed this escapism into a world that might've been. No C64s were harmed. Watch again & see description for fun infos. Normal programming has been resumed as soon as possible...

      C64 scene should have a competition for the best shortest game/demo, and also competition for the most genius way to deliver that game/demo. There might be some pretty interesting results.

    First, congrats on the subscriber milestone. Second, I love that T-shirt! That is hilarious. Anyway, while your printed code program was just a gag, there was a thing back in the mid 80s that let you print out programs as a series of dots on paper like a page-wide QR code, and then to read the program back in you'd scan it through their peripheral. The brand was Cauzin Softstrip (by Cauzin Systems), but I've never been able to find one for sale anywhere. With it, companies could publish short programs in magazines or something, and people with that thing could read it in. I don't know if it was Commodore compatible or only worked with other computers.

    I was taken in until the fireworks at the end. I was wondering how the postcard got to Papua New Guinea and Yahoo was weird but I believed you! Now I feel besmirched and foolish :-( I am going to self isolate now...................

    Sad you don;t have more subs. thought you had 100k, 128k? Keep it up. I like the balance of British and US retrocomputing. And your love for the Commodore. Now I am wishing I hadn't gotten rid of my VIC20 with the bad power supply. I had timex sinclair that I actually liked in highschool, unfortunately a fireman decided it needed lots of water while plugged in.

    Good job... Took me till "Morsius" (aka Commodus? :) ) to wake up. :) Tbh I wasn't watching the screen till that very moment, but I knew something was wrong as soon as you mentioned Commodore had a good marketing idea. :)

    In Spain, a toilet paper manufacturer did a promotion puting a bar code with "jet pack" for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in the XL size in 28 December 1983.
    If you was not careful, you could broke the ULA chip.

    Yes, the assassins guild does in fact use Commodores for their communications, though for some reason I thought the text looked more Vic 20 than C64. Perhaps just using a larger font for the benefit of the movie ... or it might just have been so long since I’ve used mine that 40 columns looked wider than I thought.
