Fingolfin’s Findings LXXXIV: Frodo - the free, portable C64 emulator

I have to admit that it is only rarely that my childhood memories of the Commodore C64 can get into (fairly) close contact with my main area of enthusiasm, Tolkien.

If I remember correctly my first ever console I played stuff on was with my then best friend - an Atari 2600 (Opens in a new window). Shortly after that, he was given a Commodore C64 (Opens in a new window), the bestselling desktop computer of all times.

With the money I received at my confirmation I was eventually able to buy my very first own computer, the Commodore C128 (Opens in a new window).

The story of Commodore (Opens in a new window) is quite the drama in itself - for a while it was the largest home computer company in the world - but let it be enough to say it no longer exists.

Well, that is note quite true: last year the C64 returned in all of its glory (Opens in a new window).

If you are not opting to buy an old one, a revamped one, a new one…

You will have to use an emulator.

And this is where FRODO comes in.
