£447 (inc. VAT)

Product description from their website:

Your childhood just leveled up.

The first official Commodore 64 in over 30 years is here - a faithful recreation of the original motherboard on FPGA hardware, housed in a glowing translucent case - or classic beige, of course. 

And here is something even rarer and more collectible. Only 6400 will ever be made. Inspired by the famous 1 millionth gold C64, this Gold Founders Edition adds to the default hardware: 24k gold-plated badges, satin gold keys, a translucent amber case, commemorative Commodore gold seal 'share' certificate, "I Rebooted C=" tee, 24k gold Commodore badges 'dog tag' necklace, and a gold label holographic serial number sticker starting at 00000001 (randomly assigned so it could be you) - that boosts the mission to reboot Commodore.

  • Play 10,000+ original games with more RAM & 48Mhz Turbo mode!
  • Plug in dusty old cartridges, CRT TVs, datasettes, or disk drives - it all works.‡
  • Light up the room with a game sound-reactive hidden-LED color-changing case† and the world’s first translucent mechanical keyboard PCB.

  • Not just a C64 reborn but the C64 upgraded: More memory & faster speed options, dual SID sound chips (virtual or add originals), keyboard macros, even modern printer support!
  • Get lost in the spiral-bound manual with BASIC coding adventures, and ogle the glossy original-style box.
  • Enjoy HDMI clarity, Wi-Fi game transfer, USB convenience.

Hidden inside: the autographs/names of C64 creators past and present - including Albert 'Father of the C64' Charpentier - etched forever in the motherboard copper.*

This isn’t tech that controls you. It invites you to play, learn, and create - just like it used to.
