Those were the days. I had the game too. And also the summer games version.
We always played them in the barracks during my military service. 
I never had a C64 myself, my computer age started at the beginning of the 90s with an Atari 1040 STE… which I even upgraded with an external hard drive at some point… with an incredible 320MB! For games with 4-11 floppys, this was an extreme improvement over constantly switching (sometimes 3-4 floppys to load a new scene).
I even still have the Atari, all the disks and both monitors (color for 2 resolutions, b/w for the highest resolution) in the closet…

Keep that treasure safe. It will surely be a valuable museum piece someday. And future generations will marvel at what a fossil it could be.
Similar to the rotary dial on a telephone. 
I had a C64. At first with a Datasette. And later with a floppy disk, as you can see in the video.
Only without a monitor, just connected to the TV.
And it was just like today, where kids can’t put their smartphones down. Our parents had to chase us away from the TV.

It takes experience! We’ve had plenty of practice in this part of the world 
This pic on an old postcard is taken in June. I couldn’t find the exact year the pic was taken. My guess is around 1930.

Let’s hope that climate change doesn’t destroy these natural phenomena at some point.
And that we, and future generations, will only be able to learn about such spectacles from the archives.

I did a ‘Google Lens’ search on my laptop and came up with this…
“This image captures the moment of a car traversing a road with deep snow cuts at Dyrskar, on the mountain crossing between Odda and Telemark, Norway.
The photo is a vintage postcard, likely from the 1930s or 1940s, based on the style of the image and the vehicle.
Similar images of extreme snow conditions and manual snow clearing were common during the severe winter of 1946-1947 in Europe, which was one of the worst on record.
The text on the image identifies the location as “Dyrskar - Fra fjellovergangen Odda - Telemark”.
The scene shows two men standing atop the high snowbanks, highlighting the immense depth of the snow”.
Translation
13/784 Dyrskar From the mountain crossing Odda Telemark.
Mormony.
