It's a rainy Monday here in Bradford, but a happy one - despite the fact I was working all weekend.
Why? Because I was working on something fun: going hands-on with the #Commodore 64 Ultimate, an FPGA-powered recreation of the world's best-selling home computer.
A photograph of the back of the Commodore 64 Ultimate. The case includes all the same cut-outs as an original Commodore 64, though not everything is the same: the RF video output is missing, as is the high-low frequency switch, and the User Port has been replaced by very modern HDMI, Ethernet, and USB ports.
A photograph of the Commodore 64 Ultimate, a wedge-format microcomputer built into a keyboard. It mimics the original "breadbin" model of Commodore 64 to the smallest detail.
A photo of the Commodore 64 Ultimate box, which is designed to mimic the packaging provided with the original Commodore 64 microcomputer. A blue-and-white background is dominated by a picture of the microcomputer itself, with business-coded charts and papers to the left - ironic, given that the machine would see its biggest success as a gaming system.
