Commodore is Back Selling New C64s, but Should You Buy them?
1 min read
Summary
An edition of the Commodore 64 has been released by Commodore, albeit 40 years after the 8-bit computer was originally launched and 10 after the company filed for bankruptcy.
YouTuber The Retro Shack has suggested in a new video that the nostalgic value of such a release is limited, given the plethora of options retro gamers now have to play either the real thing or emulate it.
These include the ability to buy a Commodore 64 off the shelf, populate a board with new components or run a bare metal C64 emulator on a Raspberry Pi, among other options.
However, one comment suggested that the new Commodore offerings could be a way for people to get into the world of retro gaming, suggesting there was a market among newcomers as well as nostalgia seekers.
