As I mentioned previously<\/a>, the Commodore 64 Ultimate<\/strong>\u00a0edition, which is an authentic-style FPGA-based C-64 computer with modern features, starts at just $299.99 USD. It’s leaving production for shipping soon (use\u00a0this link to save $10<\/a>\u00a0on any order). Among the production and materials updates was a cool announcement<\/a> about an “exclusive USB Cassette, pre-loaded with over 100 games, demos, music collections, and other goodies.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Commodore 64 Ultimate: Starlight Edition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Although you can obviously use your own software, digital, or in their original media formats (cartridge, disk, cassette, etc., with the right peripheral), this is a fun addition to an already value-packed package. I’m personally getting a Founders Edition<\/strong>, but both the Starlight <\/strong>and BASIC Beige<\/strong> are also pretty slick. There are lots of great original and hombrew games on the USB drive, including personal favorites Bruce Lee: Return of Fury<\/strong> (unofficial sequel to one of the greatest 8-bit puzzle action platformers) and C64anabalt<\/strong>, a C-64 version of modern classic endless runner Canabalt<\/strong><\/a>. There are also music and demo selections to check out, as well as a complete GEOS<\/a><\/strong> suite, which is the “impossible” GUI OS for stock C-64 (just 64K!) systems. I used GEOS<\/strong> quite a bit back in the day for my first true exposure to WYSIWIG<\/a> word processing.<\/p>\n\n\n
