Whoa. First machine I ever owned, I actually still have it on a shelf right next to me :) Got it with a set of c64 game tapes which naturally didn't run on it, so we "made" our own in basic - which got me into programming at age 6 :D
You my friend are a god to me!

In todays money the c116 would have been just above 100 usd when inflation is accounted for. Still not an huge amount of money compared to todays machines. I was curious when reading about the plus 4 back in the day, so when I got the chance I picked one up. With that wonderful keyboard it would have been a better computer back in the day for my father who used the c64 as an accounting machine, but the games isn't that stellar. But I like to collect them anyway. Cudos to you for making this vid.

What made you leave Commodore in the end? Were you offered better wages somewhere else or was it because of some other reason?

@BilHerd *lol* I got one too. With the tracking generator so I know what you mean. It sure is heavy. Works great though. :D

I can't miss to thank you for sharing these kind of videos! I LOVE them, and I believe is fantastic to know a piece of story directly from who made that story. Thanks again!

Great video. Got one of these myself that I had to import from Austria.

Great video Bil , the C116/Plus4 is one machine I know very little about up until now! I do love the design of it.

@sm4wwg Yes, it is so heavy that I can probably no longer lift it as I get older, I will probably sell it with the house...lol.
