WTF!!!!!

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.

LSDJ 25th!! Anniversary Party

Reimersholme Hôtel, Saturday, July 5 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

A unique night with international 8-bit artists!

💸 Tickets: 250 SEK

Don’t miss a unique evening as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Little Sound Dj (LSDj) – the homemade software that made it possible to create music on a classic Game Boy!

Experience a high-energy night with internationally acclaimed chip music artists, powerful live visuals, and a soundscape ranging from glitchy rave to nostalgic melodies.

Little Sound Dj was born out of the Swedish demoscene and quickly became a driving force within the vibrant 8-bit movement during the 2000s. The program inspired creators worldwide and was a central part of a subculture that thrived on embracing and pushing technological limitations to create innovative music and art.

This evening, we celebrate LSDj’s enormous and lasting influence on generations of musicians, designers, and DIY enthusiasts.
