I bet not many people will remember that there was a game rental market for the C64, mail order and sometimes locally. I think it was pretty much accepted that you would rent the game and copy it. I remember my dad renting games from some mail order place, wish I knew what the company was, surely they haven't existed in decades. The games would arrive in the full box, etc. We'd copy the ones we could, play the others. I don't exactly lose sleep at night over it, but I think it would have been better for industry if we/folks did NOT do that.

Quoted from brainmegaphone:

I’ve mentioned it before in this thread but take a look at Amiga Forever. It’s a paid emulator (cheap) that makes it easy to play the games. You can do it for free as well but the package they put together saves a lot of time and works without further configuration. It also includes legal licensed copies of kickstart and the OS. Only emulator I ever paid money for.

Crap, I may have to buy that. I grew up with C64, missed the Amiga era, although I recall going in WaldenSoftware and seeing the amazing graphics screencaps on those Amiga game boxes. I've thought, wouldn't it be fun to get a 500 and play a bunch of the popular old games. Although I try to avoid emulation (collect mostly arcade games), this looks like a good package.. Thanks
