Hi. I live in Portland, Oregon, in the USA. Fritske told me about this sight, so I thought I'd check it out.

My emphasis is on getting real people playing real multi-player online games on real retro hardware that are connected to the internet.

Check out CommodoreServer.com. It is run by a good friend of mine. We are actively working on games and utilities, and hardware, that get Commodore 64 computers doing things on the internet.

Some of the games I enjoyed playing on the C64 were: Ultima, Questron, Master of the Lamps, Lords of Conquest, Silent Service, Lode Runner, Asylum, Hacker II, Impossible Mission, Zork, Crossfire, Air Traffic Controller, Wizard of Wor, Wizard, Snokie, Ice Palace, Mario Brothers, and many other arcade classics.

My favorite games on the Apple were Aztec, Artillery Duel, and Choplifter.

On the PC I used to play a lot of Command and Conquer, and Settlers 3.

I would like to see some MMO games that can be played from the C64, as well as board games like Risk, Rail Baron, and Axis and Allies. It would also be sweet to have flight simulators that were online / multiplayer, especially if they could be combined with other games like A.T.C. (air traffic controller). Other economics-based games and online-world simulations would be a lot of fun too.

That's it for now I guess.

Nice to meet you! Playing online with real retro hardware seems very interesting. Of course it requires motivated C64 fans (it's what we are looking for too, in order to improve this section )
