the Commodore 64 Files Archive
Here it is,
a quality collection of rare and wonderful classic Commodore software.
Given the age/availabilty of the platforms covered I am assuming
that it is o.k. to put these programs on-line as many of the programs
are way out of distribution and the owners probably forgot about
them. If any holders of rights regarding these programs wish their
property to be removed, please e-mail
me and I will do so promptly. Due to difficulties in transferring
files, I have converted the disk images into the popular Zip format.
This format can be decompressed with various utilities for the
Commodore, Macintosah and IBM. The Commodore versions of Zip Utilities
can be found at the finet.fi archive (see link below)

ALIEN VOICEBOX Program Disk - If
you have the Alien VoiceBox voice synthesiser for the Commodore
64, this disk contains the files from the disk that came with
the unit AND also the 'Singing Disk' files which make the Voicebox
literally sing songs with the VICII chip accompanying. (sorry
- this probably won't work with any other 64 voice sythesiser.)
ANDERSON HOLIDAY DISKS - For a few
years in the late 80s I sent out Commodore holday disks full of
Christmas cheer, music and games for my fellow Commodore 64 using
friends.
