Like many people of a similar age to me, the Commodore 64 holds a very special place in my heart. One of the first computers I spent a large amount of time with, either typing in BASIC listings from books and magazines, to playing games relentlessly, my C64 was the first computer I could call "mine". Of course I'd meant to learn to program on it, but that plan went right down the drain when my gaming habit went from a couple of games on tape and Frogger on cartridge to a small-ish box of disks marked "Games" that one day just magically appeared at our house.
The Bitmap Books Commodore 64: a visual Commpendium book encapsulates brilliantly the memories of the contents of that box.
