The photos are online! www.msxposse.com

Nice msx party photos, but why did they broke that c64? That's just stupid. There isn't such thing going on other parties. Shame on you guys...=|
All 8-bit machines are worth saving.

Good thing "you're the first"

But what about some descriptions for every photo... would have been much more interesting.
Seeing an electronic print with a paper saying Bitwise for example is not very informing you know.

The annual C64 bashing 'game'

It´s a shame that some people could not respect other Hardware than the MSX !!!!!!

It´s really not funny to destroy ANY kind of old Computers .... that guys behave like 4 year old kids, sorry but that´s the work of complete assholes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I´m collecting old stuff and I handle them with care, wether it is an MSX Computer or anything from Commodore .....

It´s hard enough these days to get spare parts for repairing the old hardware and you destroy them ???? Well, I allways was proud to be a member of the msx scene but I think I won´t be from now on

I admit, I stole the F1 key

Retroman, there where a few kiddies busy with that, most people I spoke were annoyed by it. Please don't think this is some common sense in the msx community.

Lol, tsk, don't be pissed off by it . Commodore-bashing has always been an MSX tradition (with the occasional casualty), and the new generation is just trying to pick up on things!

Anyways, GuyveR800 saved the 6581 SID, the 6510 CPU and some unknown other chip with MOS written on it... ;p. So be grateful! Hehe.

Bullshit. Commodore bashing in demo's maybe. But not irl. And please don't tell me that destroying hardware has always been part of the community. That's simply not true.

I'm not saying it's 'part of the community'. But it's definately been done before, so nothing new, really. I can agree though that it's 'oude soep', been there, done that. Besides, there's no 'emotion' to it anymore, as there used to be ;p. At least, I didn't see anyone cry with joy overthere.

Btw, *I* wouldn't care less if someone decided to smash up an MSX1. There are too many of those anyways. And what do you think happens when one is put away with the garbage?

The guy that came up with the C64 case design should be shot
Anyway, C64 enough in Europe, no matter if we destroy some of them, still thousands left.

Dude... Maybe C64's are rare where you live, but here you fall over them on the streets
Same with MSX printers.. So a few fairs ago, they were smashing dozens of MSX printers! It's not about hate against commodore, it's about smashing abundant stuff. Maybe next year they'll smash some monochrome monitors

Anyway, the guys who did it owned that machine. They can do whatever they want with it, it's their property.

There are MANY people that put MSX or C64 computers on the trash! This is the same thing, except they had a bit of fun with it.

And I'm happy I don't have to rape my C128 to get a SID chip now

What are you gonna do with the SID GuyveR800? I'm asking this because Vortexion promised me once to build an interface to connect the chip to an MSX. I know he was busy with it, maybe you know more? Or is this just for some PC hardware interface? There are some around which come without SID chips. For those you have to rip one from a C64 too. BTW: isn't the SID from a C64 slightly different than one from a C128? I thought I've read something about that.

this c64 was found on the streets and it was trown away we helped the gabage disposal unit a bit as it has now less parts to crush.

(i have the power led)

Nope, I think he totally quit... :/

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a Catweasel Mk3 when I got some money left-over...
Not gonna happen anytime soon tho, but I like I can keep my C128 intact.

Yeah, there are some minor differences.. Nothing major AFAIK.
