The thing looks like a piece of crud, and I wouldn't be paying higher than $20 for a system you're not even sure is stable enough to play Crysis.

It was released in 1982...of course it can't play Crysis. The hardware and processor isn't even compatible with Windows, given how it predates it, and even if it was it'd probably be superslow.

Surprisingly some groups still use it (not for serious computer stuff or anything, but just to push the limits and see what it's truly capable of doing...much like people try to do with Scratch).

I think I'll stick with my xbox 360 SID chip capabilities on Halo Reach

I DUN KNOW WHAT A SID IS 

The MOS Technology 6581/8580 SID (Sound Interface Device) is the built-in Programmable Sound Generator chip of Commodore's CBM-II, Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and Commodore MAX Machine home computers. It was one of the first sound chips of its kind to be included in a home computer prior to the digital sound revolution.
Together with the VIC-II graphics chip, the SID was instrumental in making the C64 the best selling computer in history, and is partly credited for initiating the demoscene[citation needed].
The SID has U.S. Patent 4,677,890, which was filed on February 27, 1983, and issued on July 7, 1987. The patent expired on July 7, 2004.

Thank you Wikipedia!

I give up.

Good for you     But seriously, save that thing until like the year 2200. It'll be worth a ton.

Um...why are you guys arguing? Arguing doesn't help the topic, and obviously PW132 did not create a topic for the purpose of arguing...can we keep it down with the arguing?

We weren't arguing at all. He was trying to explain what an SID chip was xD And I saw the edit. I dun wanna watch it

If your going to ignore my points, why are you in here? Besides, it's just MUSIC.

I came here to tell you too save that thing until 2200 so you or your kids can make a ton of money

What do you think I'm gonna do, smash it with a hammer? I take CARE of all my systems. Besides, why have the thing if I'm not gonna use it at ALL? Almost ALL collectors buy them to play them and have FUN!

Well then you can't say it's in mint condition D: But I'm going to leave now cya    Oh and the CAPITOLS really aren't neccisary.

Anyway, by 2200 it will have died, as almost all of them would have. Metal RUSTS.

Metal rusts when exposed to WATER. Plus, you could live to be like 110 or something. You never know

Point is, I am not doing that. I have always wanted one, and I finally got one. Say you wanted a car, and when you get it everyone says "Thats a very obsolete car" and "Don't drive it." How would you feel?

I would save some gas mileage and saveit for my kids xD But I get what you're saying. I have one question though: Why won't you play modern games? Do you even play them at friends houses?

Pfft. Of COURSE I play new ones! I don't live totally in the past! 

Oh ok. By the way you were obsessed with retro games I thought you were some caveman gamer    Are you excited about Kinect?
