Early this year my C64 was dead and I was sent a replacement motherboard by UKRetrogams that I decided to put in it. Tried transplanting the motherboard but in the end had to get help from Mark aka UKRetrogames

I love the newer generation of consoles, I love the enhanced life-like graphics and I love the online aspects of them. Especially the Xbox 360 Live Arcade experience is something unique and can not be matched by any of the other current consoles like the Wii or the PS3.

But there is something about the older generation of consoles that makes them more timeless, easier to use and their gameplay is guaranteed to last a couple of decades - provided the circuit boards don't corrode etc. Will this be the same with the newer generation of consoles?

Read more about what I think about that subject, I am very curious about what do you think?

Dennis van Weeren - from the Netherlands - has managed to recreate a Commodore Amiga 500 on a FPGA. All the necessary software - excluding Kickstart - with all the documentation is presented in Open Source Format on his website.
