John D39’s Q-Link Page has a lot to offer, including what has to be the most comprehensive list around of former Q-Linkers’ current email addresses. If you’re looking for an old friend, John’s page is the place to start! (On a less happy note, John also has a list of former ‘Linkers who are known to have died.)
John Purkey (aka Gullible, Squirrel64) has a great web page called The Squirrel’s Nest. You’ll find Q-Link and Club Caribe memories galore, including downloadable versions of all the old Q-Link load screens.
Another place to look for old friends is Mari’s Q-Link Reunion Page on Yahoo.
Remember those great SIDs by Uncle Slam, the late DrJ5, and others? Most are lost to history, but you’ll find quite a few of them at the Q-Link SID Archive.
Brendan Reid’s Commodore Wire web site is chock full of information about the world of Commodore computing. (If you experience difficulties with that link, try this one.) The site has not been updated since January; hopefully this isn’t a sign that CW is about to join the long list of dead Commodore sites. :-/
Commodore World Magazine and GO64 have joined forces. You can visit their joint web site by clicking here.
Ian Black’s C64 Homepage is definitely worth a visit.
The Commodore Dungeon is jam-packed with Commodore information and links.
Remember Loadstar? It’s still around, still cranking out software for Commodore 64’s and 128’s.
If you still play games on your C64, you’ll find a lot to keep you busy at the C64 Game Guide.
The Almighty Commodore 64 site has emulators, games and game manuals, music and more.
For more on the history of computing, be sure to check out The Machine That Changed The World, based on the WGBH Television/BBC video series of the same name. It will come as no surprise to Commodore fans that this fairly comprehensive history of computing does not once mention the computer that to this day holds the Guiness Book of World Records title of “Best-Selling Computer,” the Commodore 64.
Finally, Commodore’s unofficial obituary, R.I.P. Commodore, written by Tom R. Halfhill, a BYTE senior news editor, for the August 1994 issue of BYTE.
