Dear Supporters

I am so excited for you guys to see this. I can't believe I thought I could get it ready by last Friday & that it would be 10 minutes long LOL. Oh well, here it is now.

Please let me know any corrections or suggestions - you are my invaluable eyes and ears before my videos go public. Of course do also bear in mind the target audience for this which is relative newcomers to the Commodore 64 scene.

excellent as usual perifractic! totally enjoy you and the whole crew in the video. also, that joystick was also known as the epyx 500xj back in the day. had several and they were great! keep up the excellent work!

Great video! Any chance we will see a similar video for the Amiga 500?
