    It is already history, and you can read my review there.

    But if you like to try it yourself, you can order the C/64 Replica below. PS: if you wait some time, I predict it will ha a sale price of 40% of more, in a couple of months…versus the current 104€ retail price.

    The Commodore 64 is a fascinating machine. It is the single best selling computer model in human history. The fact that the C64 still holds that title in 2021 — close to three decades after being discontinued — is nothing short of amazing.

    Because it makes me smile, let’s take a quick stroll through some of the magazine advertisements for the Commodore 64 that helped the system achieve that world record. See Commodore 64 ads from the 1980s still make me want a C64 in 2021

    Nel 1984, dopo il successo del C/64, la Commodore lanciò sul mercato il Plus4 ed il Commdore16, due macchine quasi identiche che si differenziavano per il quantitativo di RAM a bordo e per la dotazione del software in ROM.

    In questo articolo vi mostro come fare delle piccole animazioni , usando il Commodore 16.

  • Come funzionava il TURBOTAPE di C/64 e Vic20?

    In modo molto complicato…. ora ci arriviamo.

    I Computer Commodore erano venduti senza alcuna periferica. Quella che costava meno, era il registratore  a cassette, che era un dispositivo “custom”. Contrariamente allo ZX Spectrum, non era infatti possibile collegare un registratore analogico “normale” ai Commodore. Le audio cassette negli anni ottanta erano economicissime (contrariamente ai floppy, che erano meno diffusi) e gli editori potevano duplicarle facilmente per creare “magazines” da vendere nelle edicole, sfruttando i sistemi di distribuzione che esistevano per la musica tradizionale.
