and only 2 systems crapped out.
1st PS3 (60 GB phat one) and original Xbox 360.
PS3 died after 6 years of heavy use and xbox died just under 3 years. Thankfully, it had the MS extended warranty.

Yes, even though Commodore 64 was a computer doesn't mean you couldn't use it for gaming. Shoot my computer is really used for gaming. Its how my husband rigged it.
The Amiga 500 on the other hand, was also a personal computer by commodore, which was designed especially for high-resolution, fast graphics along with multimedia applications at the time (Yes desktop with icons just like you see with your windows)...., and used especially for gaming. It was one of the first computers to offer true color. It had its own operating system. I was able to play games like "It came from the desert" "Out of this world" and many other classic games (a lot of swapping of disk), which I cannot remember right off hand. So where do you think Billy boy got his idea??
But yes, that commodore was used for gaming and you were able to buy games for it, did you not??
I loved my Amiga 500 at the time. The hard-drive was housed in its keyboard casing I believe.
Shoot I believe the Amiga was the benchmark for all gaming. It was first tested on that I believe.
Oh the memories...
