Time for some Commodore 64 arcade rip-off action via @bloggospow.bsky.social as four games that are a slight resemblance to arcade machines are played. There's a bona fide C64 classic in there, and nods to soundtracks from Chris Hülsbeck and the late Ben Daglish.

Here's an odd thing in my collection.
Somehow I've managed to keep an unused Commodore branded plastic bag from when I visited the Commodore Christmas show in 1991 at the WTC in Stockholm.
The only other #C64 related thing I managed to bring back was a copy of Winter Games from some bargain bin.

Thanks for the shout out Paul. As a matter of interest, I no longer believe "no one knows anything". Tbh I was using it as a caveat for my talk's "advice" but I do agree that you can mitigate risk and increase chance of success if you DO know some things. I prefer "there are no guarantees" now.
