GEOS on Commodore 64

Back


This is a screencap of me running GEOS (one of the first GUIs) on a Commodore 64 Emulator. Embrace the nostalgia. It kind of looks like Mac OS doesn't it?

I had this on my C64. I loved it, I wanted a Mac so bad and this was as close as I could get. I had to go to my Dad's office to use a mac.

I had a copy of GEOS back around 88. I was like 9 years old so I didnt know how to use that crap. Looks easy to use now.. slow though.

Ever heard of Xerox Star (etc.).

Search for it, I think you will watching some videos about that GUI ... from the late 60s ... !

I remember WAY BACK renting software for my C64. The guy behind the counter one day handed me a disk with a 'wink, wink" and said "Try this, see if you like it."
It was GEOS and for the time, I thought it was very cool.

I don't think there was a cartridge version. Google doesn't seem to find it.

I think your right. I think I may mixed it up with "the final cartrige". But I do remember working with Geos and yeah, I remember some disks for it now that I think about it.

man for a 64K system it ran a graphical user interface very well. I used to use the word proceesor to write science fiction stories lol. It was the first time i was introduced to the concept of fonts.

Can anyone start Windows in 64K RAM?
So if it were developed more applications for GEOS it would win battle against resource-eating Windows!
P. S. It has Recycle Bin first invented in Win95 LOL!
