Commodore 64 (#C64)

In 1982 the Commodore Computer Company released their Commodore 64 home computer for the whopping sum of $599.99 USD. The computer came cartridge and modem enabled and ran the BASIC operating system. It was an 8-bit computer with 16 colors and had internal ROM of 20kB and RAM of 64kB. The great thing about the system was that it could use all the expansion modules made for the VIC 20, this meant the Dattasette and the Disk Drive 1541 amongst others.

The Commodore 64 could also use a number of the Atari 2600 accessories, namely the various flight sticks and joysticks like those made by Wico.
