C77 Shirt arrived today

Post image

I like this shirt a lot more than my founders shirts. The print doesn't appear to be so plastic, so it won't feel hot to wear. Now, I just have to hold my composure until the hardware arrives!

I got t-shirt from Commodore this year, the logo is disappearing more with every wash (3 times on me). I hope your one is made with better quality

Yeh, i am NOT impressed with my first two. The large plasticy print has bubbled and started peeling from the shirt after 3 cold washes, and line dried. The white "monster chook" one is better, but i have only worn it once out of fear. This one, the print seems more printed than ironed on, if that makes sense. Time will tell i guess.

Very nice! I see you have the founders edition, so you've gone for the C77 too!

Yeh, i have a very understanding (or patient) wife! I have the C64CFE on order too, because i prefer that form factor. I already warned her that if a C77C drops, then it is going in the toy room too. Still, cheaper than replacing the RAM in my gaming pc currently though.

If a c77c drops, I will be furious... And order one. It can live next to the c77 I already ordered. I love the feel of the c models.

I 100% agree with you there. I insta-bought the C64C when announced, because i had both models as a teen and preferred the typing angle of the later model. I love the iconic shape of both however, and have typed out maybe 30 magazine/book programs with zero regrets in the purchases. I will continue to shovel more cash towards 8bit computers, and even the software developed for them, whilst halting all PC purchases since the AI price hike.

I did not have a c64 until about 10 years ago. A friend's parents were getting rid of old things and I got both an OG and C.

When the ultimate C went up, I picked it up immediately. I also grabbed the starlight ultimate when it first went on sale.

Haha indeed! I have the C64U grey breadbin, I'm tempted by others but they are not limited editions yet. I am happy to report it is loading most of my games on tapes so far!

I love my C64UFE, and use it daily! It is a joy to type on, but my biggest problem is unlearning 30 odd years of the IBM keyboard character locations! Haha, takes me out of touch typing mode when the * or () aren't where they are supposed to be.

All good though, happy 8bit gaming mate!

I wore it yesterday. It was much better than the other two i got with my pictured FE machine. I will most likely order a few more for my own christmas gift from Santa ;)
