I think I will probably get one for my son. I think this could be a good learning computer.
Wait…so you’re paying for a Commodore shell that can’t even (yet) run Commodore software? Max 4GB of RAM? Wow.
Am I missing something? My C64 used to run off tapes didnt it? Or has age warped my mind. I’m guessing we can download software from somewhere, or that it is going to come with a tape player…im confused.
The C64 used tape, cartridge and diskdrive. When it first came out some stuff was on tape and only a few games came on cartridge. When the 1541 diskdrive was released then the tape-drive was pretty much forgotten. It was pretty much a hold over from the Vic-20.
Software can be downloaded. There will also be an app store on the Commodore website. At least that is my understanding although when Commodore OS is released it will also come with a classic game package.
BTW. With this new system, you can run the Commodore OS off a flash drive if you want.
The death knell for Apple!!!
They’re just cashing in on the retro-computing market… the people with disposable income who want to buy their childhood back. Their “Commodore 64″… isn’t. Their “Vic-20″ isn’t. Their “Amiga” isn’t. They’re just PC clones in custom cases running an emulator.
Now, having said that, if they include built-in hardware that will let people hook up their old Commodore 1541/1571/1581 disk drives to make it easier to transfer software to the emulator, and if I didn’t already have a high-end PC, I would consider buying one.
