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.

 

**December 10, 2007 was Commodore 64's 25th anniversary!**



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! 

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.

Oh, I just remembered a command prompt King Tut game we had...it said "You have walked into the tomb" and you replied "turn left" and it said "you found a ring" then you typed "walk straight" and it said "you've been killed by a goblin".

I used to have a Commodore 64, it replaced the Vic-20 and at the time nobody thought you would ever need more memory LOL.

Learning BASIC was my introduction to programming
