finally!! Some love for the ole Plus/4! No one knows about that machine, but it's the one that got me started with programming so many years ago. Mostly because there was nothing out there for it and user groups had very little for them.

This CPU project is cool, but no SID or VIC means you still can't game on them...sigh...




There are games for the plus/4 and 16. Check out http://www.commodore16.com which has a game database as well as a forum of Commodore TED machine enthusiasts.

The biggest difficulty I've found with gaming on these machines is the difficulty in finding joysticks that work with them, since Commodore decided to give them mini-DIN game ports instead of the DB9 ports used by virtually all other Commodore machines (including the Amigas). It is possible to make an adapter, however.
