Between Project 64 and the Funet.Fi Commodore archive I think the 64 is
probably one of the best documented 8-bits on the net (and some of the other
Commodore 8-bit models as well). I think there have been some issues with the
games (like Hasbro who has been re-vamping old Atari titles and threatining
some of the games sites), but not much mention from the original Commodore
hardware community. :/
