The Commodore 64 is coming back!

"The response has been completely dramatic," Mr. Altman said. "We've been averaging about five registrations per second on our Web site. This is from people giving us their name and e-mail address to be kept abreast of updates on the new Commodore."


damn, that's hot
 


Amstrad CPC-464 was my first computer. I was like a social outcast with everyone owning a C-64 and me and some other kid being the only Amstrad fanbois. Everyone knew it was better though and were secretly jealous.

It's a nice idea, but I'd never get one, even though I love old computerss.

They all had a MAJOR flaw - if you spilled water / tea / coffee/ wine / your seed in the keyboard, you were looking at a new computer.

...and it was the shit! I don't remember the name, but there was a game where you were inside the human body trying to fight off infection. I guess you were an antibiotic or some shit, all I know was it was pretty fucking awesome.

Me too. Omega Race fucking Rocked! (Poker was pretty good as well)

Remember Cassette-Tape based Gaming? Man am I glad that's long gone...

Holy shit... This new version appears to have the same flaw. -I think I'll pass in this case. I'd much rather have an all-in-1 where the Monitor is with the guts, than something as expendable as a keyboard!

This is a majorly-flawed setup, and they are obviously betting on Nostalgia alone to keep sales afloat.

BAD biz model.
