For a limited time, you can get $50 off the Commodore 64 Ultimate<\/strong>: Starlight Edition<\/a>, Founders Edition<\/a> (only 2,333 left as of this writing!), or BASIC Beige<\/a>. You should be able to get an additional $10 off with my referral code using this link<\/a>. There are plenty of accessories available<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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