message: (incidentally, it was the Ultimax mode which allowed for freezer cartridges to become a reality)
I removed the above, because absolutely no context is established either here or in any related article that I could discover that explained what a "freezer cartridge" is. People should remember that they are writing a general article not for those who already know all this stuff. Graham 11:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Huh?

message: I remember when this game was released, the makers of the game (The Edge) offered a prize of a Sceptre worth £30,000 to the first person to complete the game and solve all the riddles.
To my knowledge, no-one ever won the prize. The riddles were found at various points in the game and were as follows:-
AT LAST YOU THINK YOU ARE THERE
BE SWEET AND BE QUICK TO GO BACKWARD
TOURD'FORCE USING ONLY A KNIFE TO EAT AN A1 SOLUTION.
BINARY INDECISIONS BETWEEN SILENT BEGINNINGS AND QUIET TERMINATIONS
LOSING THE DUTCH ONE, ROYALTY APPEARS BEFORE ME
A THOUSAND ADDED TO EVERYTHING LOSES FIFTY
Does anyone know what the solution to the riddles was? Did anyone finish the game? What happens at the end? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.80.240.166 (talk) 16:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This would be worth mentioning, but I was a kid at that time so I don't know very well the details: in Italy, pirate games were legal. I dunno if there was a bug in the copyright laws or what, but there were plenty of cassettes with collections of many games put together sold in newspaper sellers. They were cracked copies of original games, with just the name changed. They actually were better than the originals, since load times were WAY shorter. --Lo'oris 21:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You'd need to get a reference for the legality of copied software in Italy, but if it's verifiable, then it might be worth adding. Tlesher 21:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: well, I'm not going to search for a reference, or I wouldn't have talked about it here and would have directly added it to the article :P Anyway, whether or not it was strictly legal, it surely was at least borderline, since it was actually sold legally, not in the black market. --Lo'oris 21:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Did anyone think of giving some information about the OS. Is it DOS?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.42.62 (talk) 07:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was basic, made my microsoft AFAIK --Lo'oris 12:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not fully true. There is an OS for C64 and it is named Kernal. This OS was made by Commodore itself. BASIC is something like shell in Unix-like systems. However, CBM BASIC contains several Kernal instruction, such like LOAD, SAVE, OPEN, CLOSE, VERIFY and PRINT# --Maciej.malecki 19:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The Spartan deserves an article of it's own. It was a legendary piece of vapourware - there were ads for it for YEARS before it finally became available. And when it did no one cared because Commodore had as much software as Apple II's by then.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by A plague of rainbows (talk • contribs) 16:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There really sould be a section on the text games offered for the C64 like Starcross and Leather Goddesses of Phobos. Infocom was really into that genre, from what I recall.Hx823 (talk) 22:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Who wrote that rubbish about Gamebase 64 listing over 20,000 unique titles? That is clearly not the case, GB64 includes many selfmade screens, hacks...etc from Contruction titles like Boulder Dash Construction Kit, Pinball Construction Set, SEUCK, magazine type in listings, Championship Lode Runner, Game Maker, Quill and many more games which included an editor or some sort. 
Just type in Boulder Dash in the GB64 search, and see how many games come up under that title alone (88 Boulder Dash games released, I don't think so) Many more Boulder Dash screens under different names.
I think that statement should be deleted or at least changed.Tomtomtomabc123 (talk) 22:57, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
