Who used to own a C-64? My first home computer. Fondly remembered. Favorite game was Choplifter, but soon got into productivity software, like Paperback Writer. Got me started into databases which led me to a second career that's been going for 20 years.
I drove from Wichita Falls to Dallas to buy one at the unheard of price of $595 when they came out.
I used to play Super Bowl Sunday like crazy. The '81 Bengals were an offensive juggernaut and David Verser, of all people, was unstoppable.

My first "system"
My first computer as well. Best games ever. Loved all the zork games; Defender of the Crown; Pirates!; Legacy of the Ancients; and so many others.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
Man... said it was my favorite and then got the name wrong. It was Fort Apocalypse
Not the 64, I started with a garage sale bargain..Commodore PET
Go Gators!
I remember the first computer my dad brought home. The monitor had a 4 color display, which was a big deal at the time. Spent many an hour playing text based games. My favorites were Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Leather Goddesses of Phobos.

I've just changed my avatar in honor of this thread. ALthough I am Spazzrico here and just about anywhere else on the web, I used to be Jumpman over at the WOXY boards.
Anyway, the Commodore 64 was my first system. I probably should have learned to do more with it, but for me it was really just a game platform, as I was pretty young.
Run "JUMPMAN", 8,1
I had a ton of games but only a few I remember well
Jumpman
Summer Games 1 and 2
Wintergames
Leaderboard Golf
Beach Head II
Pitstop
Yie Ar Kung Fu
Escape
I remember Jumpman, And the Summer/Winter Games and Beach Head. They were great.
Sounds like a fun game.
Award Winning Baseball Player
Loved my C64. I played a ton of Championship Baseball.
All great games. I also spent quite a few hours on Skate or Die and Chuck Yeager's flight simulator.
Witty signature.
In third grade, which would have been in 1981 or so, I learned programming on a 64.

That was my third computer
