C 64 - 10 |
The commodore 64 is, along with the Apple II and the Atari XL computers, the most famous home computer. During its production from 1982 to 1993 (!) 17 to 22 million (!) of these computer would sell, to put in perspective, that's more than all the Macintoshes in the world. It was one of the first to offer a high quality sound chip and graphic resolution with many colors and sprites. A great range of peripherals was developped for this computer and can use several of the Vic 20 peripherals. (www.old-computers.com) |
