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 (Öffnet in neuem Fenster). Shortly after that, he was given a Commodore C64 (Öffnet in neuem Fenster), 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 (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).

The story of Commodore (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) 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 (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).

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.
