It’ll be able to play over 10,000 classic C64 games and will support HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi connections.
Back in January 1982, we were treated to the launch of the Commodore 64, an early computer that was bought by millions of users around the world across 12 years, which is now fondly remembered by those very same users and celebrated as a cult classic.
If you’re brimming with nostalgia for those C64 days, or if you’ve never used one but always wished you could’ve, then here’s some good news for you: the Commodore 64 is being remade and re-released later this year, reports Techspot. The new model is based on the AMD Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA processor and supports modern tech like HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi.
According to Techspot, the remade Commodore 64 promises 99 percent software compatibility with its hardware emulation, which means you’ll be able to play more than 10,000 C64 games if desired.
If you want one, you can pre-order now via Commodore with a “no quibble money-back guarantee” for a full refund if you ever change your mind. The standard price is $349, but there’s an early bird special that lets you snag one for $299 if you’re quick—and if you buy two, you can get an additional 10% off your order.
