Although it looks like an unimpessive keyboard-like box, the Commodore 64 was incredibly popular. More C64s have been sold than any other single computer system, even to this day. That's about 17 million systems, according to the Commodore 1993 Annual Report.
In a 1989 interview, Sam Tramiel, then-president of Commodore, said that "When I was at Commodore we were building 400,000 C64s a month for a couple of years."
The C64 looks nearly identical to the Commodore VIC-20, released in 1981. They are similar, but the C64 is more powerful with more features.
The Commodore 64 home computer remained in production from August 1982 as late as until April 1994. The Operating system was Commodore KERNAL/Commodore BASIC 2.0. The CPU was MOS Technology 6510, working at 1.02 MHz (NTSC version) or 0.985 MHz (PAL version). Memory: 64 kB RAM, 20 kB ROM. Display: 25x40 text. Graphics VIC-II (320x200, 16 colors, sprites, raster interrupt). Sound was SID 6581, 3 channels of sound. Ports: TV, RGB & composite video, 2 joysticks, cartridge port, serial peripheral port. Peripherals: cassette recorder, printer, modem, external 170K floppy drive.
I LOVE my C64 to this day and it was my very first official home computer on 82 and it was the first in my life I went ONLINE using a phone modem ( https://imgur.com/PoTiClI ) and connect to a BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) to read online messages and download demo or full games LONG before AOL or online was a thing. I told my mother that I need to get this home computer for "educational purposes" when in realty the C64 was just a a more powerful gaming system and I have lots of a games .... Did I say lot's I meant a F$*% TON of games both in

Great news. The 'true' C-64 mini is just now being released. And there is hope for Christmas time releases of it in America. It vastly improves the former mini by including a full sized, functional keyboard and a CPU that does not suffer the lag issues. In HDMI, of course. The provided joystick...we shall see.
