Commodore 64

The Commodore 64 is the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. It made it's way into the 2001 and 2002 editions of the Guiness Book of World Records. Between 20-30 million units were sold from 1982-1992.

Here's a peek at the great old machine. AND have a look at the reinvented Commodore Gaming PCs of 2007 and beyond.

1 <3 Commodore 64 

This was my very first computer back in the early 80s. I had this in my room from 4th grade till I graduated highschool. My parents gave it away when I was off to college (Let me hear you...awwww).

I miss all of those old games! Pole Position, Lode Runner, Space Taxi...and remember the Summer and Winter Olympic Games? Not only would I spend hours playing games but also making cards and calandars with the Print Shop, drawing with the Koala Painter Tablet and playing music with my Music Maker keyboard attachment.

Space Taxi - Commodore 64

One of my favorite Commodore 64 games - creative, original, and makes excellent use of the C64 hardware. By the way, I'd love to know who Olaf Glatzer is.
