This is interesting. New Commodore 64 computers will go on sale shortly. Preorders are being taken now, at a somewhat reduced price. Here’s a review.
I suppose there’s a huge nostalgia factor. The C64 was a capable machine for its time. I didn’t own one, but a friend in high school did. I spent lots of time in his home, along with a few others, playing the hell out of that machine. I recall Summer Games, Winter Games, Zaxxon, Castle Wolfenstein, even Zork.
It might also serve t teach new generations what old computers could do and how they were used. Though I suppose the interest for that will be tiny at best.
