I'm glad you guys like it.
I also began my relationship with computers and simulation-style games with the Commodore 64. I have played a little Oubliette (the pc version), but the games I spent most of my time on include Legacy of the Ancients, The Bard's Tale 1 and 3, Wasteland, Paradroid, The Seven Cities of Gold, Lords of Conquest, The Pawn and other uncountable text adventures, etc.
I still have a fully functional C64 with disk-drive and all of the games mentioned above except The Pawn, Paradroid and Oubliette. What is even more amazing is it all spent about 5 years in an unheated (and leaking) trailer in the woods before I remembered it was there - and only ONE of the games (sadly, The Pawn) didn't work!
It is all being stored in a nice steel trunk in my warm livingroom now. No need to call the ASPCC.
The second CPU upgrade could have been a socket in the fast load cartridge
I was actually planning to add visual peripherals, like the C64 modem or the fast-loader, plugged into their proper spots, but I decided on a more generic design with a visible circuit board for style. I figured if a nostalgic Uplink Agent of 2010 were to modify the C64 for modern use it would be one hell of a patch job.
Also on the login screen, I guess you could simply use, f1, f3, f5, f7 for the 'New User', 'Retire', 'Options', 'Exit'
Ah, but you don't understand how hard it was to find a good picture of the power switch - and did you see what happens when you click on "Register New Agent"? Also, if you look at the options menu, we would wind up with a duplicate fkey there, since there are four options and the "exit" option.
There are really an awful lot of "easter eggs" in this theme. I have been working on it on and off since I released my Toolink theme, which is actually several months now. I will probably change things here and there, so keep an eye out for more updates in the first post of this thread.
Happy Hacking!
P.S. Frenchfrog, the patch works great!
