Tulip to Relaunch C64

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the blast-from-the-past dept.

Ola "4pLaY" Jensen writes "The Dutch PC manufacturer Tulip who bought the Commodore brand name has decided to finally do something with it and re-launch the C64 in some form. Exactly what it will be is still a puzzle in my mind but from reading their news it seems to be a PC with some OS flavour with a C64 Emulator." I spent many hours on a C64 when I was in elementary school, and this brings back a lot of memories.

    I remember going to an early meeting of GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) and playing classic C64 games such as Saboteur II and Boulderdash with my fellow GAY NIGGERS. The best C64 Emulator at that time was the closed-source C64S from Seattle labs. When one of my GAY NIGGER friends actually brought a real C64, we really enjoyed it. Trying to load those games from a old GAY NIGGER boombox was as much fun as trying to play them once they loaded.

    And now, we interrupt this program for a public service announcement:

      For two days I waited there for Kantos Kan, but as he did not come I started off on foot in a northwesterly direction toward a point where he had told me lay the nearest waterway. My only food consisted of vegetable milk from the plants which gave so bounteously of this priceless fluid.

      Through two long weeks I wandered, stumbling through the nights guided only by the stars and hiding during the days behind some protruding rock or among the occasional hills I traversed. Several times I was attacked by wild beasts; strange, uncouth monstrosities that leaped upon me in the dark, so that I had ever to grasp my long-sword in my hand that I might be ready for them. Usually my strange, newly acquired telepathic power warned me in ample time, but once I was down with vicious fangs at my jugular and a hairy face pressed close to mine before I knew that I was even threatened.

      What manner of thing was upon me I did not know, but that it was large and heavy and many-legged I could feel. My hands were at its throat before the fangs had a chance to bury themselves in my neck, and slowly I forced the hairy face from me and closed my fingers, vise-like, upon its windpipe.

      Without sound we lay there, the beast exerting every effort to reach me with those awful fangs, and I straining to maintain my grip and choke the life from it as I kept it from my throat. Slowly my arms gave to the unequal struggle, and inch by inch the burning eyes and gleaming tusks of my antagonist crept toward me, until, as the hairy face touched mine again, I realized that all was over. And then a living mass of destruction sprang from the surrounding darkness full upon the creature that held me pinioned to the ground. The two rolled growling upon the moss, tearing and rending one another in a frightful manner, but it was soon over and my preserver stood with lowered head above the throat of the dead thing which would have killed me.

      The nearer moon, hurtling suddenly above the horizon and lighting up the Barsoomian scene, showed me that my preserver was Woola, but from whence he had come, or how found me, I was at a loss to know. That I was glad of his companionship it is needless to say, but my pleasure at seeing him was tempered by anxiety as to the reason of his leaving Dejah Thoris. Only her death I felt sure, could account for his absence from her, so faithful I knew him to be to my commands.

      By the light of the now brilliant moons I saw that he was but a shadow of his former self, and as he turned from my caress and commenced greedily to devour the dead carcass at my feet I realized that the poor fellow was more than half starved. I, myself, was in but little better plight but I could not bring myself to eat the uncooked flesh and I had no means of making a fire. When Woola had finished his meal I again took up my weary and seemingly endless wandering in quest of the elusive waterway.

      At daybreak of the fifteenth day of my search I was overjoyed to see the high trees that denoted the object of my search. About noon I dragged myself wearily to the portals of a huge building which covered perhaps four square miles and towered two hundred feet in the air. It showed no aperture in the mighty walls other than the tiny door at which I sank exhausted, nor was there any sign of life about it.

      I could find no bell or other method of making my presence known to the inmates of the place, unless a small round role in the wall near the door was for that purpose. It was of about the bigness of a lead pencil and thinking that it might be in the nature of a speaking tube I put my mouth to it and was about to call into it when a voice issued from it asking me whom I might be, where from, and the nature of my errand.

      I explained that I had escaped from the Warhoons and was dying of starvation and exhaustion.

    It is certainly to your benefit to free the time needed to read this article entirely.

    My name is M.C. Shampoo.

    Many people have seen UFO's or claim to have been abducted by aliens. These
    and other paranormal things like remote viewing and psychic abilities are
    programs of the people whom administrate the universe and to be even more
    specific the "Matrix-like" network of Earth.

    Some people whom have been control guided in their vehicles have been told
    that it is the CIA, NSA or British intelligence doing the guiding, when in
    fact it was the system operators of the Earth matrix. If you have ever
    received communication in your mind much like thought that is without a warm
    (microwave) feeling on your head, then you are not talking to any government
    on Earth or aliens in space - you are talking to people that administrate
    the reality generator of Earth. These people tell blatant lies and are often
    torturing people on Earth. It is inhumane. Aliens within the universe that
    we could observe with the hubble space telescope do not exist. The universe
    is absent of life of all forms except for on Earth. Military and
    Intelligence officials will also tell you that aliens do not exist
    (meanwhile they are probably thinking that they communicate with them via
    various numbers like 441 or 164 for "the greys" etc.). There is, in reality,
    no cover-up about alien life, because there is no alien life. The officials
    that administrate the universe probably told places like the Pentagon to
    keep the information they received secret or else there would be a war from
    aliens or something similar. I advise all people believing in aliens or
    people talking with aliens to start a war of defiance of the aforementioned
    lies and other lies and to understand that the reality operators of Earth
    are stating falseness that people in almost all cases would believe. The
    system operators do not want many people, or even one person for that matter
    to know of anything beyond the "big bang" or what created it. In reality,
    Earth matrix operators are racist, jealous and envious of human life, since
    humans on Earth have increased complex computational logic and are more
    superior than the system operators. Human life on Earth is programmed to be
    more complex than the reality it is based upon. UFO's are simply holograms
    in the skie and are operating to convince people that there is more life
    than Earth in the universe and that we are not alone. This is done mainly
    for higher than Earth government reasons, to control society and for
    observation of highly knowledgeable and intelligent people.

    In reality, if aliens ultimately did visit Earth, they would need food and
    resources and parts to fix their ships and everyone would know of the
    glorious moment in time when they came J

    This is a plea for all lies, torture and incorrectness to stop from the
    people that created the reality that we live within. They would help
    intelligence agencies with false names, pictures and altered states of
    vision and senses to see that they exist when in fact they live from within
    a different life form and style of body. A word of advice: do not believe
    everything that you see or hear about aliens or the government, when in
    reality the governments are being told the same lies that I was told and are
    probably being lied to, restricted and/or tortured in much the same way. The
    governments are innocent of this force for the most part but may assist it
    somewhat in fear of what would be done if they did not.

    The firm truth is that I have defied belief and orders from what I thought
    was the government, aliens and system operators of Earth my whole entire
    life and I have never been killed - just bothered to a high degree in my
    mind.

    Peace and prosperity

    Slowly I regained my composure and finally essayed again to attempt to remove the keys from the dead body of my former jailer. But as I reached out into the darkness to locate it I found to my horror that it was gone. Then the truth flashed on me; the owners of those gleaming eyes had dragged my prize away from me to be devoured in their neighboring lair; as they had been waiting for days, for weeks, for months, through all this awful eternity of my imprisonment to drag my dead carcass to their feast.

    For two days no food was brought me, but then a new messenger appeared and my incarceration went on as before, but not again did I allow my reason to be submerged by the horror of my position.

    Shortly after this episode another prisoner was brought in and chained near me. By the dim torch light I saw that he was a red Martian and I could scarcely await the departure of his guards to address him. As their retreating footsteps died away in the distance, I called out softly the Martian word of greeting, kaor.

    "Who are you who speaks out of the darkness?" he answered

    "John Carter, a friend of the red men of Helium."

    "I am of Helium," he said, "but I do not recall your name."

    And then I told him my story as I have written it here, omitting only any reference to my love for Dejah Thoris. He was much excited by the news of Helium's princess and seemed quite positive that she and Sola could easily have reached a point of safety from where they left me. He said that he knew the place well because the defile through which the Warhoon warriors had passed when they discovered us was the only one ever used by them when marching to the south.

    "Dejah Thoris and sola entered the hills not five miles from a great waterway and are now probably quite safe," he assured me.

    My fellow prisoner was Kantos Kan, a padwar (lieutenant) in the navy of Helium. He had been a member of the ill-fated expedition which had fallen into the hands of the Tharks at the time of Dejah Thoris' capture, and he briefly related the events which followed the defeat of the battleships.

    Badly injured and only partially manned they had limped slowly toward Helium, but while passing near the city of Zodanga, the capital of Helium's hereditary enemies among the red men of Barsoom, they had been attacked by a great body of war vessels and all but the craft to which Kantos Kan belonged were either destroyed or captured. His vessel was chased for days by three of the Zodangan war ships but finally escaped during the darkness of a moonless night.

    Thirty days after the capture of Dejah Thoris, or about the time of our coming to Thark, his vessel had reached Helium with about ten survivors of the original crew of seven hundred officers and men. Immediately seven great fleets, each of one hundred mighty war ships, had been dispatched to search for Dejah Thoris, and from these vessels two thousand smaller craft had been kept out continuously in futile search for the missing princess.

    Two green Martian communities had been wiped off the face of Barsoom by the avenging fleets, but no trace of Dejah Thoris had been found. They had been searching among the northern hordes, and only within the past few days had they extended their quest to the south.

    Kantos Kan had been detailed to one of the small one-man fliers and had had the misfortune to be discovered by the Warhoons while exploring their city. The bravery and daring of the man won my greatest respect and admiration. Alone he had landed at the city's boundary and on foot had penetrated to the buildings surrounding the plaza. For two days and nights he had explored their quarters and their dungeons in search of his beloved princess only to fall into the hands of a party of Warhoons as he was about to leave, after assuring himself that Dejah Thoris was not a captive there.

    During the period of our incarceration Kantos Kan and I became well acquainted, and formed a warm personal friendship. A few days only elapsed, however, before
