I first saw Commodore's nostalgic Christmas demo being showcased on a Commodore SX-64 computer at my local Kmart store as a kid. This is my story...
My Grandmother asked Andy, the sales guy in the computer department if we could purchase the program. He said it only came with the Commodore SX-64 which was $1,000 USD, so that wasn't going to happen.
She proceeds to tell Andy that "oh my Grandson would really like to get that program", so Andy says he'll be right back and walks away out of sight. A few minutes later he returns with a disk that had a handwritten label on it and hands the disk to me. My first pirated program! LOL.
I still own that floppy disk in 2020 which is featured at the beginning of this video and as you'll see it still works! I do own a original copy as well which came with my SX-64 computer I purchased from a family friend 20+ years ago.
