Popular YouTuber Christian “Perifractic” Simpson of Retro Recipes has helped acquire the Commodore brand and is acting as CEO. He and the assembled team, including former Commodore executives and engineers, already have the first fruits of this new initiative available. On the new Commodore Website, you can get your very own Commodore 64 Ultimate edition, starting at $299.99 USD. Use this link to save $10 on any order!

Besides various accessories and merchandise, three different Commodore 64 Ultimates are available. These are authentic FPGA reproductions of the original Commodore 64 hardware, but with modern features, including mechanical keyboards. There’s also a modern PC in a Commodore 64 case that runs custom emulation. Although this hardware has been developed earlier and is available elsewhere, this is a convenient way to both get the latest iterations and support the unified company vision.

I have both the Commodore 64 Ultimate and 64X. They’re great products, although I personally lean towards recommending the Ultimate for the most authentic recreation of one of the best-selling personal computers of all time.
