Last night I compiled a list of tones I would like to use on my phone. Most of them are based from classic Commodore 64 games. I spent about 4 hours converting SID to WAV, then to MP3 to save space on my phone. Just thought I would share.
The download link is ad sponsored by adf.ly, I did this so I could recieve some credit for my 4 hours work. So deal with it. It’s also about 60MB. So, enjoy!
60MB of Commodore 64 ringtones and notification tones
So I’m guessing a few of you already have seen my entry to iiNet’s TopGeek competition. There’s a bit more it to the brief bio I put on the website.
I guess it all started when I was young, around the age of four, my parents were given a Commodore 64 by my Uncle – it came with a Tape deck and a cartridge game called Tooth Invaders. Interesting game, you were given a set of teeth to look after and you had to fight germs off the teeth with a toothbrush. Occasionally flossing between the teeth and you had to avoid a little green dude who would kick your ass if he touched you. A couple of years passed and there were a couple of people at school who also had a Commodore 64, we would borrow games and play them. My Dad came back from Canada after visiting his father with a box full with games, one that I got really addicted to was Maniac Mansion. Would have to say one of my most favorite games in the entire fucking world. You could choose 2 out of 6 players (you get stuck with Dave, the most useless guy ever) each of the alternative 6 players had different skills and abilities, which also meant you could complete the game in many different ways. This formed my love for click adventure games. Along with Maniac Mansion, was Labyrinth - I guess a pre-scumm game, but it was very interactive and fun, also based on the movie. I guess this is where my love for gaming came from. Also playing Granny’s Garden on the BBC’s in primary school. That game scared the hell outta me, maybe it was her big pixel nose that bothered me. I don’t really remember.
No really. I’m testing twitter-tools integration. What up.
