Unfortunately, I tossed my C-64 years ago. :-/ Not the wisest decision
I've ever made.

Oh how I wanted a C-128!

I've elf-proofed my place so he can't get in, but I got myself a few
old games to play over the holidays. I skipped the old Monkey Island
games, since I was still unhappy with graphic adventures, but the first
one has been given voices and new graphics, so I played it. I was
surprised at how mediocre it is, given its reputation. Now I'm stuck
in Abe's Oddysee -- I'd forgotten how fun and how difficult it is. (I
have the old disks around someplace, but Steam had the two Abe games
for $2.50, so I got them that way.)
