Emulating a Commodore 64

A well loved machine.  Wizardry for this system pretty much the same as it is for the others.  In fact, in my short experience it looks exactly the same, just quite a bit slower.  I would go to the commodore zone:  http://www.the-commodore-zone.com/mainf.htm.  There look for the emulator page.  I would recommend VICE, at least the windows version, I didn't try the DOS one.  Download that (it downloaded at 15kb per second...) it doesn't require a Rom image (it might include one, I'm not sure.)  I used the autoload image item on the file menu.  Insert the first disk.  Wait for an extremely long time.  Eventually it will ask for the master disk, insert the second disk image.  Wait another extremely long time.  Then it comes up like all the other systems.  All you have to do is insert the third disk image as the scenario disk (one plus to the C64, the scenario disk works!)  After that loads, you can play the game like on any other system.
