Perhaps the best part about yesterday's report that we'd once again have Commmodore-branded computers on the market are the blogs that reported it, which dug up some pretty great images of the original, classic Commodore 64. Sure, we're eager to see what details come out on March 15 at CeBIT (Europe's massive annual tech show, held in Hannover, Germany), when the new Commodore Gaming PCs make their official debut. But really, what's more fun than browsing through all of the cheesy old-school console shots? We think we found a good one, but be sure to check out these others.

'Commodore' was definitely one name I had not expected to ever hear from again, except perhaps on eBay or at collector's shows. Still have all of my 64 gear packed away in the basement, though I've yet to even consider firing that old bird up again. But it [i]was[/i] working great before I did pack it up a couple of decades ago.

The ghosts of commodore past

Yea, truly a lost era where I bit my computer teeth on the commodore. But the games were fun and free. I was stationed in Germany in 1987, and I remember the Commodore Club and all we did on weekends was play and copy games. The good ole days where you did not have to pay an arm and a leg for a game. lol
