Back before GameFAQs, YouTube, and online walkthroughs, beating games like Ultima IV meant making your own notes.

These are my original handwritten spell lists, maps, shrine locations, mantras, and clues from playing Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar on the Commodore 64.

Playing it again on real Commodore 64 hardware brought back a lot of memories.

What game filled your notebook with notes? Let me know in the comments!

Hey, it’s Tom from Texas. I run the machines we grew up with.

No emulators. No shortcuts. Just real hardware powered on the way it was meant to be. The click of keyboards, the whir of floppy drives, and the glow of a CRT hitting you right in the nostalgia.

If you remember swapping disks, waiting for games to load, or hearing a startup sound that instantly took you somewhere else… you’re in the right place.

Here you’ll find:

🕹️ Real hardware gameplay across C64, Atari, DOS PCs, consoles, and more

⚔️ Head-to-head comparisons (C64 vs Atari, C64 vs NES)
