At the time of its release, on the heels of its predecessor the Commodore Vic-20, the 64 helped to set the standard for home computers along with the Atari 800 and the Apple II.
“At Commodore USA, our goal is to restore the AMIGA brand to its former glory,” the company’s website claims. “Our reboot and re-imagining of the classic AMIGA line-up will showcase the latest and greatest personal computer hardware and operating system technology available today.”
The new 64 will run a Linux operating system, although Windows can be installed by the user if desired, and will have all the features of modern computers. Hardware encased in the throw-back styling includes an Intel processor, 2GB of RAM, and Blu-ray rewritable drive.
For fans feeling very nostalgic, the new Commodore will come loaded with all of the popular games from the past.
