  • "I remembered vic-20 and its not a great console... better the amiga "

    God, when these fucked comparisions of computers that have 100x memory difference and generation of technology difference stop.

    Amiga: minimum 512 KB RAM

    VIC-20: 5 KB RAM, 2 KB system reserved, 3 KB for programms.

  • who would have thought that 30 years later we'd watch that commercial on our computers?

  • When he says. what do you know about computers? The employee is like "oh bugger" :)

  • munchman...man that was an awesome game

  • Some years ago, they did a survey at a software company, which showed that many at the company in question (not named) got their start in programming by typing in those those infamous type-in listings (usually games) from computer magazines and books. So yes, this commercial does have a valid point.

  • @GalenInYoFace --- Commodore for one, I sure as hell aint watching this on one of there computers.

    SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY GAME!

  • I wonder if it can support Black Ops?

  • I remember this commercial when it was originally shown on TV. First computer I ever had was a Vic-20...paid $83 for it at K-Mart in 1983 when I graduated from grammar school. Couldn't do much with Vics, but a lot of us who are now IT professionals got our first taste of computing on early machines like these. They seem horribly primitive now, but back then, the world of home computing was completely different.

  • @KoremanB 8 cores. I need to upgrade my cpu, its only got 4 cores. I just love it when someone trys talking about something they dont have a clue about. If the Amiga 500 is 8 core, then my Amiga1200 must have at least 64, and the Amiga 4000 must have about...............

  • @m1omg The Amiga 1000 was delivered with 256kB of ram. So minimum should be that. The Amiga however was a couple of generations after the vic 20 - and not even an original commodore product. They had envisioned a c65 which was far behind, and wouldn't have had the same impact on the marked at all.
