The Commodore 64 is back.

lol, that thing looks just like the old C64 we had when I was a kid. Although the prices of the two configurations available are a little too "mac-esque" for my liking. Their website looks like it was made in 1994.



I'm really curious to see what their OS is like (Although you can opt for windows)



LOL at the ad

Doesnt look at all like the C64 I had growing up. Where's the F16 key?

Well its modified of course, but for the most part....

 

[supraman]

I'll rephrase. It looks nothing like the C64 I grew up with. Outside of the colors.

Well maybe I just dont friggin remember, Im old now.

 

[MassHavoc]

Then maybe you aren't old enough because other than the row of f keys it looks like a 64 to me.



Keep in mind, that this isn't really commodore, only a licensed product. It's basically fan art, and unfortunately won't do much. Very cool in concept though.

No I am old enough. That I can promise you. But the C64 we had had 16 function keys.

Oh yea, but I don't have a problem with that, I live in the middle of the block.



Also there are no young kids that live on our street , they are 18+

The specs are decent. Its just as much a functional modern computer as you would get anywhere, though i doubt you can do any gaming on it. Im not sure if its running laptop or desktop hardware. Judging by the panel configurations im going to guess its a desktop Mobo (I think), probably a micro ATX form factor. Theres no way you are fitting any gaming grade non-mobile video card in there. Even if you could that thing would overheat so hard.



They also sell a modern looking slim version http://www.commodore...SA_VICSlim.aspx



Its not the command center im rocking at home

Speaking of, Next PC I build this is so going to be the Chassis I choose:

Emulators... hell, I think I still have a couple of C64's up in my grandparents attic. And that's no joke. And a 128.

 

[supraman]

It is probably gone (and it was broken at the time) but the Vic-20 might still be in the basement in Chicago.

Id rather not have to type in a long ass code every time I want to run a program. That and watching the lights blink on the floppy drive while you age a year before it actually boots up.
