Possible way to reconnect with the magic if not. Especially by attending (in-person, ideally) one of the many demo parties around the world. There are also parallels with embedded device and FPGA work that I personally find thrilling. Plus we on the VICE (open source Commodore emulator) team are always looking for devs.

I bought a C64 and SD card a few years ago. I enjoyed running up a few technical masterpieces - like DropZone - but the gaming interest has waned.

I don’t code 6502 nowadays but I’m active on r/c64.

FWIW I find the vscode + kickassembler + VICE toolchain a pretty fun way to iterate on C64 code.
