About
As of 2026, it's 44 years old.
Named for its then-extravagant 64 kilobytes of memory, the Commodore 64 crammed real computing power into a beige doorstop priced for actual families, not just hobbyists with engineering degrees.
It became the best-selling single computer model of all time, equally happy running spreadsheets and bleeping out chiptune soundtracks that people still remix today. For millions of kids, the C64 was the family computer, the game console, and the homework excuse all at once.
The breadbox-shaped machine that taught a generation to type 'LOAD' and then wait, and wait, and wait some more.
