|  Angyalbõrben - Happy New Year!
At the moment of this writing, the European folks are already in 2014, while some of us here in North America are still stuck in the Old Year.
Anyway, a quick last minute gift for you all: C16/Plus4 in the Media. I found an old clip from a Hungarian TV show, called Angyalbőrben (literally meaning "In Angel Skin", refers to being in military uniform). One episode features a Commodore 16, and even a Hungarian C16 game! Check it out and enjoy - and be sure the read the transcript (complete with translation!) to get a clue as to what's going on.
Hopefully this section will expand more in the future. Happy New Year to all!

...where it will be promptly removed for copyright violation  But otherwise sure, please go for it (whoever has an account and can upload). I actually have it in better quality, but compressed it to conserve our bandwidth. It's still totally fine for viewing though. Well, anyway, my point is, PM me if you want the slightly better quality file for YouTube upload.

Depending on format even YouTube can make some videos looks worse than the original too. I have that problem with .avi (divx)

Ah, finally an actual comment about the CONTENT Yeah, should be funny, I guess back then it was an okay depiction of computers, but it hasn't aged well.
First, when the C16 that the doc plays falls into the water... That's clearly some other computer with a numerical keyboard The "typing" is hilarious as usual, but I guess even modern shows do this: typing stuff on a computer only consists of pressing keys in one row, no-one ever needs space or shift etc
BTW, they are clearly playing the C64 Sanxion through the episode in the arcade (I didn't include this, cause it's not Plus/4 stuff).
I tried to see if we can make out what's being type on the C16 screens (the colors are clearly recognizable), but the resolution is too low.
Anyway... Can you guys think of any more movies/shows etc that features a C16 or a Plus/4? (I know the Terminator reference often comes up, this is mentioned in Wikipedia as well, but it's unclear what machine that code is for. Though we could add it, I guess.)
