The Commodore 64, abbreviated as the C64 or CBM C64, was a computer by Commodore Business Machines.
History
The Commodore 64 was the third computer by Commodore Business Machines. The '64' in the name comes from the fact that the Commodore 64 has 64 kilobytes of RAM.
It was demonstrated at the Winter CES from the 7th to the 10th of January in 1982.
The Commodore 64 was first released in August 1982.
Market success
The Commodore 64 became one of the most popular low-end computer in most markets throughout most of the 1980s, due in large part to the fact that it was sold in retail stores as well as electronic stores.
By the time that it was discontinued in April 1994, it had sold between 12.5 and 17 million units worldwide.
Legacy of the Commodore 64
The legacy of the Commodore 64 remains, even after its heyday. Independent games continue to be produced for the system to this day.
Several plug-and-play video game consoles have been sold based on the Commodore 64, including the lines of THEC64 products by Retro Games.
