Commodore 64 TV Game for Sale

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kids-these-days dept.

KodaK writes "The Commodore 64 Direct to TV is on sale at QVC. QVC bought all available units (250,000 or so) so, for now, this is the only place you can get them. This is a full C=64 in a joystick form factor with 30 games included, meaning you can hack this sucker to add a keyboard and/or other IEC peripherials (like a disk drive). The full BASIC ROM is included. Buy one now and impress your friends. BTW, this was developed by Jeri Ellsworth, the engineer responsible for the C-One. Cool stuff." We mentioned the development of this earlier.

  2. Can someone tell me about this game, Ranger Rescue by yorkpaddy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I remember around 1991 I played a really neat game on an apple called Ranger Rescue, or something similar. You flew a helicopter on a side scrolling display, then you retrieved your fallen compatriot and flew back. The game was really interesting, I probably have the name wrong.
