Insane kid writes Windows emulator on Commodore 64

Leave a reply

This poor kid only had a C64 but wanted to use Windows, so he wrote his own version in BASIC.

Oh by the way Corel Draw, Notepad, Excel, yep, he wrote versions of those too.

The tape loading videos at the bottom of the page are fun.
