COMMODORE 64 ULTIMATE

Posted by Scott Hanselman

❛❛ We are back! #C64 commodore.net The first official Commodore 64 in over 30 years is here - a faithful recreation of the original motherboard on FPGA hardware. HDMI, WiFi, USB, but compatible with every existing cartridge and peripheral. Not an emulator - a recreation. Same price as my first $299 ❞

No joke! The #Commodore64 is officially back and for the first time in over 30 years, it’s being sold brand new again.

The #C64Ultimate BASIC Beige is a faithful modern recreation: FPGA-based motherboard, full support for original peripherals, including real disk drives, datasettes, CRTs, and even those old C64 cartridges.

It boots like the original, plays 10.000+ classic #games, and ships with a cassette-style USB packed with demos, music, and full games.

Starts shipping Oct–Nov 2025. Preorders open now.

Penguin and his friends!

And this is drawing based on Penguin Land (SG1000). Joyful and good and kind little penguin. 8 bit. He run in labyrinths. He crawl with ladders. And he laugh a lot. Laughing – it is helps a lot. To be joyful and positive.
