Episode Synopsis

The Commodore 64 has long sat dormat for over 30 years, and now with new ownership comes a brand new piece of hardware to take its place; the Commodore 64 Ultimate. In this episode we go over a brief history and specs of the hardware, and the benefits of being a cheaper home computer in the 1980s, some of its best games, and its demise and resurgence. This year, the company and its many trademarks were purchased by Christian Simpson and a few others, and are now on target to ship a new FPGA hardware called the Commodore 64 Ultimate, that can play up to 10,000 original cartridges on your TV with built in HDMI support and Wi-Fi!
