Gaming and Computer buffs of a certain age have probably been in contact with the now-cult home computer – the Commodore 64. It was an immediate success at its launch in 1982, and guys in the 30+ age range can talk about games like Ghosts & Goblins, Boulder Dash Loderunner with teary-eyed nostalgia in their eyes.
After years of trouble, the new model of Commodore is back, but now in an updated modern version. On the outside it looks just like a good old Commodore 64 including the thick sturdy keyboard. Inside, however, is an Atom D525 and graphics from Nvidia. Even a Blu-ray player has found a place in the box if you are investing in the luxury version.
The new Commodore 64 will run Linux (or Windows) and it will be possible to use a C64 emulator for the opportunity to experience all the old favorites again. On the Commodore U.S. website commodoreusa.net there are five different configurations of the C64 available, with prices ranging from $250 to $895.
