<p>For a limited time, you can get $50 off the <strong>Commodore 64 Ultimate</strong>: <a href="https://www.commodore.net/product-page/commodore-64-ultimate-starlight-edition-batch1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Starlight Edition</a>, <a href="https://www.commodore.net/product-page/commodore-64-ultimate-collectible-founders-edition-batch1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Founders Edition</a> (only 2,333 left as of this writing!), or <a href="https://www.commodore.net/product-page/commodore-64-ultimate-basic-beige-batch2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BASIC Beige</a>. You should be able to get an additional $10 off with <a href="http://www.commodore.net/referral/Hnfj2Eo2JDPp?utm_source=referral_program" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">my referral code using this link</a>. There are plenty of <a href="https://www.commodore.net/category/all-products" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accessories available</a> as well.</p>



<p>I personally have the <strong>Founders Edition</strong>, but they&#8217;re all great, and wonderfully replicate the original Commmodore 64 experience in modern FPGA hardware. It&#8217;s one of the very best ways to recreate the original, and authentic, C-64 experience for our modern world.</p>

<p>Firmware 1.1.0 is now out as well, which adds several improvements, including the ability to use a USB mouse instead of requiring use of the standard classic serial mouse.
