The Secret Weapons of Commodore

From the home page: "They were the secret weapons!  The unrealized phantasms of technological wonder!  The ravings of mad geniuses made flesh and locked away in caverns of dust never to see the light of day!  The demons that Tramiel forgot, to come tapping at their door even as the winds of oblivion beckon and spit!"   Info on prototypes, unreleased and rare models.  Very entertaining and cleverly written.

Telengard  

A tribute to one of the first and greatest D&D computer games, and probably my favorite C64 game.
