Btw, you can play C64 games NOW on your PC, using an emulator. There are several excellent free C64 emulators for the PC available, and several C64 websites that you can download disk images to run using the emulators.

Well, that won't do me any good. Long ago I gave away my Commodore 64 (still working!) and the HUGE collection of games (99% retail boxed) that I had for it. It's probably just as well though. The truth is, the nostalgic memories are probably much better than the games, in reality.

I've even gotten rid of a truckload of DOS and the earlier Windows games that were just too difficult to get running satisfactorily on Windows XP. A pity, I really loved some of them. Master of Orion, for instance. I couldn't get that to work at all on my newest computer, but I loved that game so much I couldn't stand to get rid of it even if it's now useless. So it sits on my software shelf, amidst all the playable games that I have. It's earned a place of honor there, I guess.

I think one of the reason Stars is still so popular even though it's so old is simply because it still works without a hitch, regardless of your OS. No hassles even with Windows XP. And another thing - I don't thing Stars has ever crashed once. NEVER.
A toast to Jeff McBride. Cheers
