  • I had just as much fun with my old C64 as my kids have with the latest and greatest Xbox games and unlike xbox my old C64 never ever broke down or had problems at all and in is still running beautifully this day.

  • Dude new Commodore 64 will run a special UBUNTU version. Get informed before posting such a video.

  • Where can i find the new C64?

  • i'm wondering if the regional games will be built in.

  • What's the amiga juice? I can't seem to find out about it.

  • @codycbradio1234 Check out Commodore Amiga 500 on Google. Best computer ever. Ahead of its time.

  • @ShadowDreadblade I was thinking about the Juice he's drinking. But thank's a lot for the suggestion!!!!

  • This guy is not funny and very annoying.

  • COMPUTERS ARE NOT USER FRIENDLY BECAUSE COMPANIES ARE FUCKING COPYRIGHT WORLD DOMINATION GREEDY

  • Buy a real one, theyre still around if you know where to look! The new one is just an atom PC in a retro looking box. (With a custom Ubuntu for an OS).

  • Those images of the system are all renderings. Chances are that they won't even use sculpted, full-stroke spring-based keys on them if they make them at all.

  • Mmm its cute why not!

    Hey if it use MODERN wiring.. .. as in easy to hook up to your television I am in

  • Commodore 64 was a color computer.

  • Is Chris gonna buy the new C64?  What I really wonder is if the new C64 will have the little graphics on the front of the keys...

  • I love how "CAN'T GET A GIRLFRIEND, LOL" has now become the go to insult for anyone who is even a little bit geeky. It's funny, I'm a geek and have never had a problem getting a girlfriend, or a wife like I have had for the past 7 years. So that implies to me that anyone who thinks "getting a girlfriend" is some unreachable badge of honor for anyone with semi-intelligent interests have, themselves, had an enormously difficult time getting a girlfriend. Fucking losers.

  • 3:30

  • PC's don't use those graphics you fucking moron! And C64 had colors MORON!

  • Dance at 3:30 guarantees everlasting virginity.

  • You make me remember that guy from Riptide....

  • I just want to use a C64 as a keyboard for my own PC

  • @ToricoUK You can. Just buy an C64 and a Keyrah. Thats a USB interface to connect a C64 keyboard. Or a C128, C128D, A600 or A1200. I used one of those for my PC in a A500 Case project.

  • Commodore 64 has colors. You don't need black'n white TV you moron.

  • You dont have blackwhite tv?

    Commodore 64 have colours.

  • tbh i was considering getting one but now im not so sure ??

  • suddenly i feel so much better about my life WOW

  • your room is nicer than my cradle, er basement, er my mom's basement. i have been trying for the past 10 years to leave but i can't! why? i like free rent and mom's cooked meals :/

  • man, what a geek lol

  • i read that the new commodore 64 is going to run commodore os, a linux variant. I want one too!

  • NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

  • I thought it would be cool to get a vintage looking computer with a new computer in it. I then realized they are under powered and its basically a laptop with no screen included.

  • u spit& sputter too much and loose yourself about your stupid drink got bored,stopped it there Yaaaaawn!!!

  • Wow....mama's boy! Is that you dads office...lol

  • @wildcat650power hey, he has commercials, he makes money on your views.

  • As you say, they are not really back ... or at least not more as there are

    Amiga Forever and Commodore Forever :-)

    Now, check what is AmigaOS 4 MorphOS and AROS and say Amiga was gone at all :-)

  • Comment removed

  • Ill take the 2 minutes and 3 seconds back that I spent watching a drunk man rage about a company that hasn't been around for almost a decade forgetting to print letters on the side of the keys, thank you very much.

  • I'd probably not buy it. Some memories are better left untouched..

  • Yes, you are the only one

  • 3:24 xD

  • I thought I was the most pathetic creature on Earth. Seeing this guy, I think I am a KING!!!

  • Make an amiga 500 one and i will snap it off them :)

  • The keyboard is IBM AT Clone style redesigned to make it look like a Commodore 64. Still, you are right. It would of been nice to had something on the side of the keys.

  • Actually lost for words! - Are you on medication? Do you drink coke by the bucket load? I get the feeling you have never had a girlfriend... Not quite sure why YouTube recommended your video to me but I certainly hope it doesn't do it ever again!

    I hope you lose your virginity real soon :)

  • @leeorg he has a finace

  • @Cloverofmist I don't really care :) But he did have me in stitches when I showed my mate the video. :)

  • u r a true geeek i commend u i feel the same about my first pc...emac white shell i want the new amiga im putting either windows 8 or ubuntu 12 on it i think ubuntu12 suits i better opensource goodness

  • Do I plan on buying one of these? Absolutely! I think this is a great concept and I'm very glad to see someone doing this. I'm also impressed with the OS that was put together for this as it's very polished. My only minor complaint is I wish it had some sort of discreet graphics and hope that they can sort that out in the future. I still have my old C64 but you can't use it for everyday computing. This is just too cool and I plan on having mine soon.

  • no it is not a real commodore in any way >:(

  • sys 64738 was a whole reset was it? type

    poke 53280,0

    poke 53281,0

    poke 646,1

    last one is for charset color.

    and then "sys 64764" et voila... like you started the system in black and white ;-)

  • I dont get what kind of shit is this show

  • SYS 64738

  • it has core i7

  • I'm planning to buy a new 64x - barebones, going to build it myself with one of the new AMD Fusion chips.

  • I STILL have the C64 I bought in 1983, STILL got my C2N I bought in 1983, I STILL got my 1541 I bought in 1985 and I STILL have the 3,000 odd C64 games I bought for it from 1983 to about 1990 - and they still all WORK and I STILL play games on it DAILY!

  • somebody take that ribeana off him ffs.

  • I'm using a 64 right now. been with them from day 1. I can program and do things that apple and bill gates only dream of. like I just hacked your system when you read this post?

  • I'm so mad,my Vic 20 and C 64 just got 86 by the people that cleaned the garage.

  • The new commodore 64 is not a commodore 64 its a pc in a sorta commodore like case.

  • 2:50 Begins the action! :)

  • I have my Commodore 64 (build from two non-functional machines) right here, my VIC 1541 right here, and know what poke 646,128 does. So don't be a nerd, be a real nerd.

  • Ale pajac

  • Ah yes, the commodore 64/128 I got both of them and the thing is THEY STILL WORK.

  • @HandyHomeHints, Commodore 64 here, waiting for me to load a program. Yep, it's a diamond in the computer world.

  • Anyone who was familiar with the Amiga back in the day and who is wondering about the 'Amiga' line-up should actually ignore the company mentioned in this video as they aren't producing a credible and viable machine because they don't own the rights to the Amiga operating system. If you want to discover the real Amiga operating system and learn about the modern hardware and software which is available today - should head over to the official AmigaOS website which can be found at: amigaos.net

  • i still have the old Commodore 64 not the new one but the old model one it is fast with graphis 5 pixles per sec or 10 pixles per sec

  • Dude, You are insane...... In a good way :-)

  • commodore would still be good no matter what !

  • man - i wish I was as happy as you - and as fascinated by early computer tech

    - oh - just realised I'm watching a video about early computer tech. Does that

    make me sadder than you! I think it probably does! Oh well...

  • So...uhm...you're getting paid to do this?

  • The C=64 keyboard was not all that great. They wasted a whole key on the useless Britsh Pound Key and another one on the Up carat/Pi. You never used those, ever, ever. And yet every other line you were doing finger gymnastics pressing Shift-4 to get a $ for strings when you programmed. Plus it really could of used a hardware reset button, which we wired up off the cartridge port.

  • Short answer - NO. Its too expensive, way out of my afforability range. Rather have it an Vic-20 case. And rather hack together mine own. Buying one isn't gangsta. Hacking up your own is. And if you can't do that, its still cool to run the real thing and let kids learn how to program BASIC on it.

  • The new C64x is a cool idea. However, at about $1K the price is a bit high. For about half that you could get a genuine, non-functioning C64 (with the PETSCII graphics on the keys) and slap in a mini ITX mobo yourself. Of course the trick is getting the keyboard to work. It requires some custom circuitry to convert the C64 switch matrix into PS/2 signals. If it's worth paying $500 or so to have someone else do that for you (albeit with non-faithful key edges) then the C64x is the way to go.

  • This boy definitely needs his meds

  • The way I see it you have 2 options:

    1. Buy medication to keep you in happy land

    2. Buy an original C64 with the harddisk cartridge to keep you in happy land

    Using and underpowered PC in a plastic case resembling C64 will not keep you in happy land. That's not to say they didn't spend at least a little money on the "run your old frustrating beyond belief games" UI. But you don't need a PC to be throwing fits once again like in your youth.... ;)

  • 1500$ for no graphic card? ...

  • black and white are you f***ing nuts! you NEED colors either way!

  • 3:07 ...

  • Uber geek. LoL

  • @BluePittbull666 for real lol

  • "just don't have any black&white televisions"?! WTF. Don't tell me you used your real C64 on a b&w TV.

  • Yeah I remember on the first commodores that came out with the sprites on the side of the keys on it. Even though I did not own a commodore myself. Those machines were very popular back then.

  • just put micro pc components in an old c64 case.

    also give me a pc playing skyrim / BF3 over any retro computer anyday, and i grew up with retro games

  • it runs linux and Commodore os not windows and Commodore is not who brought it back it was a guy who bought all the rights and patents and stuff, and all the new ones are from scratch from a factory

  • If I get enough money I'll buy a new commodore 64. Mostly because I wanna have a cool looking retro computer.

  • @sedme1 You could buy a REAL 64 with a REAL monitor and a REAL disk drive for 2/3 less money!

  • I will have what Chris is taking in the morning before he starts his day

  • I'd buy one if they totally redo their original OS which they are OS Vision BETA was released today by Commodore USA

  • loool now i realise where was my weed :/

  • like If you have no idea what he is talking about.

  • You are not the only one whos gonna get one commodore 64.. you are the only one that gets drunk and makes a ridiculous live recording about it :P

  • You need serious help. Forget C-64, we have PC now. it's nearly 2012 now, we have moved on.

  • A fucking Dead Man!!! Poke 53280,0: Poke 53281,0. End...

  • @Rednasogni Yay!! A Black Screen.

  • where does he get all these good screensavers?

  • there should be a new commodore 64 witch is running windows 8 or linux

  • If that's not a hoax thats awesome!

  • Ma ha mai scopato questo?

  • I will get a C64x very soon!!!

  • nostalgia =)

  • lockergnome, if you really like Jumpman, I'd like to recommend another C64 game that is very similar. It's called "Ultimate Wizard" by Electronic Arts (1986). There is also "Wizard", Progressive Peripherals & Software (1984). Both are nearly identical. There are a few variations of those games too (Wizard Expert, Ultimate Wizard 2, etc). If you like Jumpman, you will probably like the Wizard games. 1 of them even had/has a "construction kit" for making your own boards. Check'em out. :-)

  • 3:08 SUPER SCARY SLO-MO!

  • Maybe. i heard that it can run Windows 7.

  • The most annoying points of a C64 were the design of the case and the keyboard.

    C64 II was way better there.

    Nostalgia maybe, good, but why should I buy a very slow computer with exactly the most annoying points of a C64?

    ;)

  • I've got jumpman on my DTV. The new C64s and VIC-20s are pretty neat because of the cool cases and the fun and nostalgia it brings. My bread box has a blue-ray rw, heh. Today's kids would be like, "Where's the screen?" I'd order one if money wasn't so tight right now, maybe i can still pick one up before the new Commodore stops producing them.

  • $do20 was the background color and $d021 was the forground....

    $do12 was the Vertical blanking interrupt...

    Long live Commodore

  • you dont know nothing little man!

  • lol..I didn't know Chris was such a geek ....that was funny when he was dancing in his chair to the music

  • who is the cock head in the video

  • C64 meets Houston Control!

  • I loved the Commodore 64...but guy, you're a fucking hyperactive idiot.  NERDGASM~!

  • Why would you buy a PC running Linux for Commodore 64 nostalgia?

  • @sglider - I wanted to put PC bits in an A500 case for nostalgia value. but prebuilt / mass produced perhaps the concept loses something.

  • @sglider

    Exactly. That is why it is exploit :-) "I have been drinking Amiga juice" :-)))))

  • LOL, at all those screens, I wish I had that hehe.

  • Sprites.. lol.. not quite.  Those are Petscii extended character sets.

  • I get your point, but you're a douche! First of all the keyboard graphics you're so over emphatically ranting about aren't called sprites, they're ASCII characters. Why buy a 'New C64' when you pretty much already have one. I'm sure you're aware it's just an emulator in a breadbox. Spend your money on a REAL 64 and 1541, get a WICO and a Fast Load Cartridge and play Jumpman Junior til your hearts content. Not to mention you'll get your ASCII characters you seem to love so much.

  • Si ok bei ricordi ma tu sei un pò fuori O.O , mi passi il link dell'emulatore per win7 ^_^

  • HOLY DOG POOP this made me SOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!!!!! btw chris i still have a original C64 in mint condition at home with everything

  • Fuckin nerd

  • Yeah I'd get one. They seem to have everything built in. It is one sleek machine with a bunch o usb and memory card slots. It looks like its gonna kick ass.

  • Ohhh my fucking good you are fucking crazy mate !

  • some body need his meds 

  • @MrCrazyrob187 I watched a nerd play an archaic video game and make sound effects. Which is worse?

  • chris when are you getting it? i am planning on getting 1 for christmas.

  • Exept for the external powersuply a real C64 is almost indestructible. Purchase for a few $/€ on the bay and get a new transformator.

    The cost-free alternative is the Vice-Emulator.

  • just checked my shipping for the commodore 64. and last night it was going through customs, so I should be getting it today. woohooooo!!! I'm glad I have no work today.

  • @Blizzardnz please do a review and an unboxing. i am really really interested in seeing this com64. i used the original when i was a kid to play jumpman junior and i want 1 fo my tv.

  • @gundambob646 Sure will do. I have it now and have been running it for about a week now and loving every moment of it. But will do a proper unboxing and review on it as soon as I get some time off work, which will be tuesday the 2 august.

  • I was born after the C64 stopped production. I need to buy the production lines for C64's and get them manufactured again, complete with floppy drives and DataSettes, also manufactured. C64C, to live again.

  • @jjovereats Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on one of the new C64s! They are now made by a new company that operated in West Chester, Pennsylvania 30 years ago. Now Commodore Business Machines is back under the banner Commodore USA with new headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There is a new store opened just now in Pompano Beach. Check it out!

  • @AAVista I have one so keep an eye out if you want to see an unboxing and a review on my channel. Will be the 2 August.

  • You sir have problems

  • The graphics on the side is kinda nitpicking, being that those characters are alt sequeces, or on Mac option + some key..... I think they don't have the caracters there' because they have no relevance in today's compute rings

  • 53280 was border; 53281 was background; 1024 was start of screen for chars 55296 was the same just for colors The screen was 40 chars/24 lines which means it ended a good deal before 2048 - where the basic program area started. I used to write MC-progs, never had a hex-editor, cause I didn't know what it was. So I used decimal numbers directly into data lines... FX 169 =LDA 1 141 = STA 33 208 96 Equals poke 53281,1 (white).
  • I think it is a tad egotistical to have your own picture on your laptop. Your are truly disturbing and need to lay off the caffeine.

  • Comment removed

  • im not trying to be rude.....

    but you're the biggest nerd on youtube

  • Personally, I'm really liking that old shape for practical reasons. I used to use a desktop machine and a laptop. The laptop just died. The C64 looks like something I could keep hooked up to my monitor when I want to use it upstairs, or unplug it and carry it downstairs to stream stuff on the HDTV. Or, if it's robust enough (this, I want to know), stuff it into a bag and carry it to a friend's house.

  • rofl, I used to play Jumpman Jr.

  • its not by commodore. its by a company that took their name. commodore went bankrupt in 94'

  • 00:58 OMEGA JUICE... what a douche...

  • @cosmaaaaa That would be "Amiga juice" not Omega, you know like the computer.

  • PEEK 38922761 POKE 58393021....I GOTTA NEAR NEW COMM 64 AND VIC 20 AND AMIGA 500 AND HEAPS OF SOFTWARE.....ANYONE WANNA MAKE AN OFFER?

  • PEEK 38922761 POKE 58393021

  • dubstep remix please this video

  • 3:28

    Someone make a gif file please.

  • also the Commodore 64 also suffered lots of break downs. it wascheaply made and it was over priced for what it was worth. I send a email to this new Commodore and what I hate to say that they are stupid. they showed me no respect. I am buying something else that will give me respect. I paying and I need respect

  • i do not have respect for Commodore back then and not now hevy brak downs and bad service that aMIGA 500 .that last batch that tCommodore sold was bad frad drive on every aniga 5 then Commodre went out of business warning do not buy

  • NO! However I know some one is realy want a Amiga., and I am not buying a fucking Commodore 64! I got rid of it beciase of all the bull shit on video games that dose not work. heavy break downs and bad customer support

  • NO! However I know some one is realy want a Amiga

  • NO!

  • Fuk me the cpc464 was soooo better.

  • I've already paid for mine about 1 1/2 months ago, cant wait dude. I also went for the big boy blu ray version.

  • @Blizzardnz Where do you pre order ?

  • @se7en1976 commodoreusa

  • anyone know what monitors he's using and what chair he's got and what table he has everything on, i want that setup!

  • You should be drinking more Amiga juice, but they screwed even the case ...

  • Must say that one of my favorites was The Goonies because of the good co-op mode it had.

  • It's not a Commodore 64 though, just a standard PC in a novelty case. No SID chip, and your Mac Pro will run the emulators better than the atom pc in the case. Don't even get me started on their "Amiga" range which will be the same thing (especially as AmigaOS is still developed, but won't run on their machines).

  • hey if you like emulators buy a GGE909 PC Recoil Pad

    i use it for my ps2 ps1 and gba emulators very good usb controller and it comes with software to program your buttons :D i will send this to you in a message if you didnt see this

  • you're a gimp

  • More retro computer reviews plz!

  • LOL at 5:09. :P

  • LOL at 3:09 "AHHHHH *In girly tone*"

  • I want a Tandy TRS 80 with the tape player and the whole 16kb of memory

  • I love you dude but you need to lay off the Juice

  • lol @ 3:33

  • OMG

  • I've got one of the old commadore 64's
