Not that this list turns to a C64 one.
But I still could not throw my old C64 away.
It is so amazing what is possible with a few highly specialized interface circuits, 64kByte of RAM and 1 MHz clockrate.
Especially if you go to assembler level.
This forced the programmers to write really effective and compressed code, not as nowadays where no (WinDose) computer harware is fast enough to fulfill the ever rising demands of software. Especially the MS software will slow every computer down to a reasonable speed...
