(CNN) -- Like a first love or a first car, a first computer can hold a special place in people's hearts. For millions of kids who grew up in the 1980s, that first computer was the Commodore 64. Twenty-five years later, that first brush with computer addiction is as strong as ever.


Millions of Commmodore 64s were sold in the 1980s.

"There was something magical about the C64," says Andreas Wallstrom of Stockholm, Sweden.

He remembers the day he first laid eyes on his machine back in 1984.

"My father brought it home together with a tape deck, a disk drive, a printer, and a couple of games...I used to sneak home during lunch to play [on it] with my friends."

Be the bttm boi I know you are and assume the position.

Somehow my tagline ties in perfectly with this thread.

dan, you realize there are whole sections of youtube dedicated to people reacting in horror to your threads, right?

Anxiety said:

Strange but true. However , at the same time, you got to admit that with this thread Dan has really went down memory lane with the Commondore. Threads like theses really takes all of us tech people waaaaay back.

Anxiety said:

That would actually make a hilarious photowhore/videowhore concept

Anxiety said:

I actually ended up using my sisters Commodore 64 cause she just ignored it.

Anxiety said:

Still got a green screen too i will bet

Damn Dan, you got me browsing.

mdiver said:

and i still spend hours typing BASIC code into a tape recorder so i can enjoy a 10 second cartoon of a cowboy stick figure dancing across the screen.

Imago said:

seriously: open one of your threads in one window, and one of those 2 girls/1 cup reaction videos in another window. it's like synching up "dark side of the moon" with "the wizard of oz". it fits!

Keeps me entertained but Val is getting fed up with me playing pong when she is gagging for it

Anxiety said:

I never had this one, but I still have all the ataris, colecvision, adam computer, and the original ninentdo.

I am exiting the 80s. I recently bought the Ps3, Ninentdo DS, and PSP.

My first computer was a TS 1000.

The first computer that I had that I actually liked was a C64

Atari 800 was the best.

I liked 'em better with Lionel Richie

Sorry,Atari 2600 is the shit.

I personally like the Atari 7800.

You can play the 2600 games and all the games made for the 7800.

this is funny cos i was on youtube earlier today looking at videos on C64 games

I loved my C64 and up until a couple of years ago i still had it and a shit load of games for it.
I gave it away and now i wish i hadnt
