Ye olde C-64 games.

I remember a game where you did white water canoeing, but that may have been an event in one of the 'Summer Games' games?

Summer Games 2 had a kayaking event; could that be what you're thinking of?  (Skip to 17m in the video)

Yup, Huw - that's the one

I remember playing a flight simulator game where you did a mail run (in Alaska maybe???).

Solo Flight?  Awesome game!

That is it! Man I really enjoyed that game. Being 11 at the time I had to work on my landings, but taking off was fun.

I got ghostbusters for Christmas in 84(?) and after the install completed it would shout ‘GHOSTBUSTERS’ - no speech in the game just at the install - I thought it was the most amazing thing ever

I need to find my C64, drive, and floppy discs and see what I actually have.

It amazes me still today that if you had a corrupted install and it errored out you just had to hit rewind for a few seconds and let it reload the data

Do it! Send a pic of the setup!

Ghostbusters! Yes, forgot about that one.

We did eventually get a 1541 drive as well - all your games on a few 5.1/4 floppies, :-)

Kampgruppe and.... Battles of Napoleon.

Kampfgruppe, man I played a lot of that on the C64....

I might, but I'll have to figure how how I'm going to hook up the video to my modern day monitor.

Do you have a TV around with Coax, composite, or s-video in? If so all you would need is a cable that takes the C-64's AV DIN connector feed and breaks it up into composite (yellow RCA plug) or chroma/luma (for S-video, preferred) and audio. Failing that, you can hook it up through the RF connector (the channel 3/4 thingie) with a small RCA-to-coax adapter using any RCA-style cable. It will be blurry but might well be what you actually used back in the day and might be the cheapest option.

You can, of course, buy an HDMI up converter ($20-$350 depending on your level of retro-crazy) and use the same DIN-to Composite/S-video cable ($10) I mentioned in the beginning if you only have HDMI as an option. all this stuff is available on Amazon.

Or download a C-64 emulator and some games

As an engineer, I find that option not an option.

I may have a TV that it would work on.
