The Commodore Meta Node

Hi everyone, since I'm not much of a factual or fictional noder. I figured I would instead lend my services to e2 as a librarian.

This is going to be a work in progress for a long time...

So it with it is with great pleasure that I bring you the commodore metanode. If you discover any more nodes please don't add a write up just /msg me instead and I'll give you give credit. Any suggestions and constructive feedback are greatly appreciated. I guess I should mention what a node must have to qualify for entry into this metanode; it must mention said Commodore device, software etc. Due to the volatile nature of the nodegel, nodes and writeups come and go, so if there's no reference of said devices in the node let me know too!

Oh oh, just thought of something else. After seeing break's Amiga Scene Groups I've decided if I come across meta nodes that already cover certain aspects of this metanode (i.e group names or games list) I will remove all references in this metanode and just identify that node as a "metanode". I'll try to re-write this later on but I just wanted to state it.
