How to Make a USB-Compatible Commodore64 Keyboard

While we prefer keyboards like the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000, the nostalgic types who learned to type on old Commodore 64s may want to be able to use that keyboard to punch out blog posts. Now that's possible. More »

Commodore Lifts the Curtain on Its Gaming PCs

I'm not sure what I was expecting from Commodore when we first heard they were jumping back into the gaming biz, but one thing I can tell you, it wasn't quite this. Their new gaming line will consist of four models ranging from the entry-level Cg to the top-shelf Cxx. The Cxx will have a quad-core 2.66GHz Core 2 Extreme, dual GeForce 8800s, and 4GB of RAM. Sure it's powerful and it'll probably cost more than your credit card can handle, but other than their name (and those killer paint jobs) there's nothing these PCs offer that you can't get from say Alienware or Dell.

Commodore Launching Gaming PCs - Because The Commodore Name Equals Fast

After brokering a deal last June, Commodore, the previously strong maker of the Commodore64 PC, is going to launch a line of gaming PCs at CeBIT. Seeing as the Commodore brand has been entrenched in the minds of PC users the punchline to a joke about how old their machine is, it's going to be all uphill for Commodore Gaming. More »

Live from CES: Commodore Crap Pt. 2

Commodore was also featuring two other products in its booth. First was the Mediabox, a $499 media center that runs an embedded XP. Other than that it is pretty run-of-the-mill, features a 160GB hard drive, 5.1 audio, wired and Wi-Fi connection, DVD player, etc. It was being housed in a $20,000 steel case that was pretty hot, unfortunately that won't be made available for consumers. Look for the picture after the jump. More »

Live from CES: Commodore Crap Pt. 1

Hey Commodore, we know you paved the way for a lot of the stuff we have seen at CES this year, but since YMV bought you out, your new stuff sucks. Commodore has three items on display this year that we reported on last month: the Navigator Combo GPS unit, the Mediabox and the Mediatower. More »

Commodore 2: Back with a Vengeance

What better way to celebrate the birth of Jesus than by introducing the resurrection of my own personal Jesus, Commodore. They are back, and like the Antichrist, they have a thirst for blood. They are trying to get into digital media players (Commodore fanboys versus Apple fanboys, thunderdome anyone?) and also the GPS market with a couple of new gadgets that will make any old-school techie pee himself. The full product unveiling will happen at CES 2006 and expect us to be there with coverage. More »

Commodore Joins the 21st Century

The Commodore 64 was way ahead of its time in 1982. 16 colors, 320 x 200 pixels, and 64kb of RAM for under $600 made it the single best-selling computer of all time. Commodore is coming back to the US with three products that will be unveiled at CES in January: the Commodore Multimedia Tower, Commodore MediaBox and the Commodore Navigator. Unfortunately, the Multimedia Tower is for the B2B space and to be used at retail environments, but the other two will be for our enjoyment. The Mediabox is an 80GB hard disk recorder that can play videos, music and photos on your TV. It also lets you download music ringtones, games, video on demand and photo printing service, all from your television. The Navigator is, yes, that's right, a GPS device using Windows CE platform. It includes a 20GB HDD and lets you load, store and play a variety of audio and video files, all on its 3.6-inch touchscreen. Whether or not these devices live up to the legend of the 64 remains to be seen (let's face it, the 8-bit MOS Technology 6510 microprocessor made that box). In any case, it will be good to see an old friend back in stores next year. More »
