News: Commodore 64 Coming Virtual Console!

We;; its official. We FINALLY have another system that will be added to our list of six. Making a grand total of... seven. Never the less its a new system. But what is it. Here is a bit of Wikipedia's description of it.

The Commodore 64 is an 8-bit home computer released by Commodore International in August, 1982, at a price of US$595. Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore MAX Machine, the C64 features 64 kilobytes (64×210 bytes) of RAM with sound and graphics performance that were superior to IBM-compatible computers of that time.

The Commodore 64 is commonly referred to as the C64 or C=64 and occasionally known as CBM 64 (Commodore Business Machines Model number 64), or VIC-64[1]. It has also been affectionately nicknamed the "breadbox" and "bullnose" due to its shape.

So its a computer. I'm still puzzled about what is can do, but I think it is a computer that was more of a gaming system. Also it was an expencive sucker back when it came out! More than the PS3!
