Commodore 64

The Commodore 64, launched by Commodore International at the January 1982 Consumer Electronics Show and released in the US market in August 1982 at $595, lives on in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling single home computer model of all time. The system used a MOS Technology 6510 CPU running at 1.02 MHz (NTSC) or 0.985 MHz (PAL), with 64 KB RAM and 20 KB ROM, featuring the revolutionary VIC-II graphics chip capable of 320×200 pixel resolution, 16 colors, hardware sprites and raster interrupts, plus the legendary SID 6581 sound chip providing three programmable audio channels that defined an entire generation's sonic landscape. The C64 amassed an extraordinary software library of nearly 10,000 games, rivaled only by the Apple II series in its era. Commodore International declared bankruptcy in April 1994, ending production of everything including the legendary C64, closing a historic chapter in personal computing history.
