Which is amusing to me because I always preferred Turbo C and I preferred all the "void" stuff over the more "user friendly" languages. Then again, one of my languages was machine code for a Commodore 64, so I liked having all that access to the hardware.
LOL you just dated yourself... your probably as old as me ;)
released August 1982
discontinued April 1994
i'm assuming your refering the c64 - if so your data is incorrect
1994, at CeBIT in Hanover, Germany, Commodore announced that the C64 would be finally discontinued in 1995. Commodore claimed that the C64's disk drive was more expensive to manufacture than the C64 itself. Although Commodore had planned to discontinue the C64 by 1995, the company filed for bankruptcy a month later, in April 1994.
In the middle of 2004, after an absence from the marketplace of more than 10 years, PC manufacturer Tulip Computers BV (owners of the Commodore brand since 1997) announced the C64 Direct-to-TV (C64DTV), a joystick-based TV game based on the C64 with 30 games built into ROM. The product was advertised on QVC in the United States for the 2004 holiday season. Some users have installed 1541 floppy disk drives, hard drives, second joysticks and keyboards to these units, which give the DTV devices nearly all of the capabilities of a full Commodore 64. The DTV hardware is also used in the mini-console/game Hummer, sold at RadioShack mid-2005.
The Commodore 64 is still used today by some computer hobbyists, various C64 emulators allow anyone with a modern computer, or a compatible game console, to run these programs.
Since 28 March 2008, Commodore 64 games have been available to buy through Nintendo's Virtual Console service in Europe; the first games available were Uridium and International Karate. Later, on February 23, 2009, the Commodore 64 section was launched in North America with the first three titles, International Karate, The Last Ninja and Pitstop II.
its not down, it's not out and definitely not discontinued.
