Hi, I have Commodore 64 computer in my house but I don’t know what can I do with it… Also I need to find a way to connect it to my monitor or buy CRT Monitor.

I’m completely from another generation than you guys (I’m teenager) so I didn’t have too much contact with this computer. I’m really interested about computers so this is reason why it caught my eye. I think the most basic purpose of this computer is playing games, I mean that this is what people think when they hear about it.

I love retro games but I’m bored with games for right now and instead I’m focused on learning new stuff and improving my skills. And if I would like to play games I would just run them on emulator.

I don’t have any hardware for it expect broken joystick, cassette player and blackbox cartridge (I buyed it few years ago and I don’t remember why)

My question is how can I learn something about computers/electronic stuff with this Commodore 64? What’s best way to display video from it? Why you love this computer so much? And what this computer can do, what emulator can’t?

    That’s my brick https://imgur.com/a/qZkOMvf I tried to turn on my C64 and everything were okay. I wasn’t powering it for the first time, I did it few years ago already.

    If we speak about loading games I have cassete jack adapter, I heard that I can load games from it using phone. But what when I want to save my program? I don’t think it’s possible by this way. Maybe I can save it to this Kungfu Flash 2? Where I can get it?
