Unboxing and booting up the legendary SSI Gold Box classic Pool of Radiance (1988) on original Commodore 64 hardware! From setting aside the code wheel for copy protection to crunching disk heads on the 1541 drive, nothing beats real silicon running on a Commodore 1702 CRT monitor.
Did you ever finish this AD&D classic back in the day, or did the copy protection wheel get you?

Hey, it’s Tom from Texas. I run the machines we grew up with.
No emulators. No shortcuts. Just real hardware powered on the way it was meant to be. The click of keyboards, the whir of floppy drives, and the glow of a CRT hitting you right in the nostalgia.

Here you’ll find:
🕹️ Real hardware gameplay across C64, Atari, DOS PCs, consoles, and more
⚔️ Head-to-head comparisons (C64 vs Atari, C64 vs NES)
💾 Deep dives into forgotten games and mystery floppies
