Twenty years ago, if you told me an actor with a bit part in a Star Wars movie would revive Commodore and return the C64 to production, I'd ask what you were smoking and where I might get some too.

Cue the scene from Back to the Future:
Doc Brown: "Tell me, Future Boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?"
Marty: "Ronald Reagan."
Doc Brown: "Ronald Reagan! The actor?! Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady! And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!😅

Removed - I think you are misreading this comment as an attack; it is not.

It was not meant as an attack at all, just that it's something I never would have seen coming back then.

I’m enjoying my C64U bread bin. It’s really tempting to get this too

I like the new box and manual design for the 64C Ultimate. Cannot wait to see what they do for the Cyberpunk C77 version now.

u/DavidFredInLondon 19d ago
They are shipping now?
Wonder how long until mine shows up?
I hink it was ordered in May.
Same for the TAC-2 joystick, wonder when I will see those?

It's from a Patreon only video which was out about a week ago. At the end of that he shows a stack of c64c cartons. Apparently they are doing the founders edition first with this model, so it may depend on that.

What does the ultimate bring that the previous one didn’t

u/Suspicious-Ad7109 19d ago
You mean the thing it's built on top of, the Ultimate board ? Well, it's pretty much the same thing, but it's cheaper, finished, comes with a manual etc and has a massively expanded user base, and a user base means that products and software will likely appear purely for it.

😍 Beautiful!
Still haven't bought a new gen yet. Other than the brand new mini in the closet. Bought one when they were intro'd. Checked the contents, put One on One and some other stuff on a stick, and NEVER connected it.
Comma Eight Comma One ;)

Has there been any updates on shipping? Last I read it was going to be early September. Doesn’t seem like September is the happening thing now.

Is it me or does that plastic look ... cheeeeeep

u/Marcio_D 18d ago
If you want to replicate the C64C case as it was made in the 80's and early 90's, you have to make the plastic look cheap for that authentic feel.

It is. I think its also a shame production is in China or such.

u/Marcio_D 18d ago
Where else other than China or a similar place? Would you be willing to pay substantially more for it to be made in Europe?
