There’s many “real hardware” purists who look down their nose at emulation.

They seem to think “real hardware” is more authentic.

But if you’re into computer gaming, you’ll get cured of that notion real quick.

I don’t want to run things on a real Commodore 64. It takes too much space, and the real loading times are brutal. Plus, I don’t want to deal with 5.25” floppies.

@goatsarah I didn’t have that cartridge. Didn’t even know it existed until now.

@Sarah Brown @Chris Trottier I had the equivalent for the Spectrum +3 - multiface 3 - so you could save the game to disk exactly as you left it. Also had a hex editor so you could pause and edit RAM to give yourself more lives.

@Sarah Brown @Chris Trottier Don't think the M3 had the assembler/disassembler. The manual has this very "of its time" gem: "Please send a SAE for information on how to use the 8K RAM. "

@ajlanes @goatsarah I remember the first thing I read about installing X was: write to MIT for a copy of the tapes.
