Commodore Vic-20 Commercial With William Shatner

It's the wonder computer of the 1980's! Or at least so says William Shatner in this old commercial for the Commodore Vic-20. Not only does he think it's great, but even takes a jab at good old Atari and Intellivision. After all, Atari and Intellivision don't have a real computer keyboard! And it's under $300 which according to the inflation calculator would be about $800 today. A true bargain.

Gallery: Commodore Gaming PCs

When the news broke about the new line of Commodore gaming PCs being unveiled at CeBIT this week broke, a strong sense of nostalgia completely overtook my common sense. I was imagining boxy beige computers with a built-in keyboard like way back in the day, and of course what we're getting is much, much different. I know I shouldn't have expected anything less than the super-powerful machines with customizable art they are calling C=kins (skins). At least the familiar C= logo survives somewhat. Pricing details have yet to be revealed, but I'm expecting them to be somewhere between 'more than I could ever afford to spend on a computer' and 'who needs a car?' Press release follows.

Like A Zombie, The Commodore Is Back From The Dead

Around the time old man Crecente got his first gray hair (1982), the Commodore 64 was released. The gaming PC eventually died out in 1993, but Crecente's gray hairs kept coming (hence, his mysterious trip "abroad"). More »

William Shatner Sells the Commodore VIC-20

You can tell you're at the losing end of the home video game market when even Captain Kirk can't sell talking points like "It has a keyboard" or "It plays Gorf" to an armada of geeks. - Florian Eckhardt

Hey, Didn't I Meet You in 1983?

I just had the hugest sense of deja vu after coming across this. Pazzazz Games just released a game for Palm and Pocket PC devices called Moonfighter!, in which you pilot your spacecraft around lunar terrain collecting energy spheres to keep your mission going. It's a side scroller, which makes it pretty darn close to a title called Jupiter Lander for the Commodore Vic 20. I can't remember much of 8th grade because I played that stupid game for hours on end, and daydreamed about it when I wasn't home. More »

Is Commodore Poised for a Comeback?

Why can't they just let the Commodore brand rest in peace? According to TMCnet, Yeahronimo Media Ventures has bought the brand and will try to exploit the zombie company's reputation for games and multimedia to make a new batch of products, including a home media center, portable GPS unit (what the ...?) and media player.
