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.

The Commodore 64 was an 8-bit home computer introduced by the now defunct manufacturer Commodore International in January 1982. Volume production started in the spring of 1982, with machines being released on to the market in August at a price of US$595. Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore PET machines, the C64 features 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM, hence the name, and had favourable sound and graphical specifications when compared to well-known contemporary systems such as the Apple II, particularly as the price was well below that demanded by Apple. It is commonly known as the C64 or C=64 (after the graphic logo on the case) and occasionally as the CBM 64 (for Commodore Business Machines), or VIC-64.
