Tulip to Relaunch C64

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the blast-from-the-past dept.

Ola "4pLaY" Jensen writes "The Dutch PC manufacturer Tulip who bought the Commodore brand name has decided to finally do something with it and re-launch the C64 in some form. Exactly what it will be is still a puzzle in my mind but from reading their news it seems to be a PC with some OS flavour with a C64 Emulator." I spent many hours on a C64 when I was in elementary school, and this brings back a lot of memories.

    Hmm, in some form. . .

    Maybe that means they will try and start competing, after all, 64 bit processors are IN!

    back in those days you had to buy a reset button as expansion for about 2. it was plugged in the back slot of the c64.
    i remember collecting all these POKE commands you had to enter for some sort of cheat after a soft reset and getting back into the game with a SYS command.

    and still, if im playing games on my box im using emulators. c64 was, is and will be my favourite home computer. those times just rocked!

    and yeah, i still got the holer for the 5.25" disks so you could use them from both sides.

    buying reset buttons and using holers on floppy disks, heh nostalgia... who is with me?
