Not a joke: there is a new Commodore 64 coming out. “The glowing, translucent Commodore 64 isn’t a software emulator — it’s the first official C64 in over 30 years, with a few new tricks.” You can preorder now & cancel before shipping for a full refund. (via @ernie.tedium.co) [commodore.net]
I could be tempted by an original commodore 64. It was the first computer I got, it was a gift in my pre-teens and I loved it
i’ve been lugging around my old c64 my whole life. i don’t know how to fix computers but i swear it will somehow magically work again someday
Nostalgia is not worth $299 IMO. It would be a flashy paperweight in a week. The most fun I had on my C64 was removing copy protection from games so that their attempts to read a bad block stopped knocking my floppy drive out of alignment. 😂
I did an interview with the guy behind all this a few weeks ago in case you’re wondering what makes someone want to buy Commodore in 2025: tedium.co/2025/06/19/p...
"Whether you grew up with a Commodore or never heard of one, this is for you." I guess that covers everyone!
Where can I get a copy of Jumpman?
