C64 – Back in Business

I was reading the collector’s guide for the Commodore 64 in a back issue of Retro Gamer. I never had a C64, but I do have fond memories of playing them at the houses of friends (Mayhem in Monsterland FTW!) and got to thinking about picking one up. I mused about this publicly on Twitter and, an hour or so later, @CommodoreUSA was following me.

Because of that, I learned that, believe it or not, they are manufacturing computers again under the Commodore and Amiga branding. Granted, these machines are new, netbook level systems built inside of vintage style keyboard all-in-one cases, but it’s still pretty cool. Check out the Commodore USA site to learn more!
