The Commodore Phoenix rises

[sigma7]

I've neglected posting about this for too long: Commodore Gaming has announced it will launch a new breed of gaming PCs that will see the return of the legendary Commodore brand.

Commodore is a name which will bring memories flooding back to many a gamer and it's been announced that the legendary brand is to return with a new range of high specification gaming PCs.

I'm sorry, but without the beige, without the run-stop/restore combo, it's just not going to be the same. Though it will give rise to my icon becoming cold hard reality. (And YAY to the image which became said icon, though I believe I ganked it from tviokh, to begin with.)

DUDE!

I had one of the "portable" C64's...had about a 4x4 screen on the short end of it, which was covered when the keyboard was clipped in place...

My dad still has it in a closet back home...makes me want to have him send it to me.

VIC-20 forever, bitches!!!

But, my favorite is the Apple ][c that I picked up from the K-State geology department. Man, I love that thing...

I wanted an SX-64 sooo badly growing up. Hell, the year before I got a 1541 5.25" floppy drive was excruciating.

But I managed to find something in the basement the other day that I wanted longer and even more than the SX-64. Details to follow....
