Suelo pensar que cualquier tiempo por venir será mejor. Pero hoy, leyendo mis feeds he encontrado una noticia que no deja de parecerme curiosa, por lo menos para recordar lo cierto de la Ley de Moore (crecimiento exponencial del desarrollo tecnológico).
Parece ser que en un blog noruego lanzan la noticia: un Commodore renovado pero que [...]
As we've seen countless times by now, the folks behind the Commodore brand will stop at nothing to keep the venerable name alive, and they've now finally hopped on the biggest bandwagon going, with the UMMD 8010/F marking the company's first foray into the netbook game. Unfortunately, apart from that familiar logo, there's not too much that stands out here, with the netbook packing a 10-inch scree
Se negli anni 80 avevate il commodore 64 non potete esservi dimenticati del bellissimo gioco creato da David Crane, Ghostbusters ! Fu uno dei primi videogiochi per personal computer ad utilizzare ufficialmente una licenza cinematografica ed ecco che il buon David riesce a mettere nei pochi Kilobyte del commodore 64 il gioco ufficiale del successo interpretato da Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd e Sigour
The years 1982 to 1983 were a banner time for gamers and geeks alike across the globe with Lotus 1-2-3, Pioneer 10 leaves our solar system, the Nintendo goes on sale in Japan, Reagan’s “Star Wars” Strategic Defense Initiative, Microsoft Word, and of course let’s not forget the Commodore 64.

Recently I found some interesting videos on youtube from the Amiga time, and the memories just kept coming. I am a member of a generation that started out on a Commodore 64 in 1985, moved to Amiga in 1990 and only bought a PC when I had to, in 1996.

If you are like me, you’ve probably have tried playing those popular guitar games like Guitar Hero and/or Rockband and have become completely addicted to them. Recently, a person by the name of Toni Westbrook had made his very own port of the popular Guitar Hero game for the classic Commodore 64. Now [...]
Parece que esa prueba de jugar Doom en cualquier aparato es cosa del pasado; ahora lo que importa es que se pueda jugar Guitar Hero. Ya hay juego de guitarra para teléfonos, y ahora existe una versión para el Commodore 64. El nombre de dicha versión es Shredz64, necesita de un adaptador especial para la guitarra, y sólo puede reproducir música de 8bits, en archivos SID. Lo interesante es que aunque los gráficos y la música son extremadamente básicos, el juego parece igual de divertido que la versión original. En uno de los videos, podrás ver a Toni Westbrook (el desarrollador del juego) tocando la canción de la Leyenda de Zelda. Nos arrepentimos de haber vendido nuestro Commodore hace 15 años.Fuente | EngadgetSuscribete
¿Es posible semejante milagro? Lo es, y si no, admiren estos vídeos de semejante montaje y del juego funcionando en sí. Recordad que el juego cabe en un disquete de 5 1/4 y que utiliza, sin trucos, únicamente recursos del Commodore 64 (incluyendo el sonido, así que no esperéis milagros), por lo que es una prueba más de talento de algunos programadores:Vía: TechEBlog¡Esperamos vuestros comentarios!
El Guitar Hero es una auténtica revolución. A mí, aburrido de los mandos tradicionales, me ha devuelto las ganas de volver a jugar, de picarme de nuevo y de invertir dinero en una nueva consola. El nuevo Guitar Hero ha salido para la PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 y próximamente para PC y Mac. Pues ahora llegan buenísimas noticias ya que habrá un Guitar Hero Mobile. Está en fase de pruebas y según dicen con resultados muy satisfactorios.
Por otro lado Toni Westbrook, un geek-freak en toda regla, quería una versión del Guitar Hero para el Commodore 64 y ni corto ni perezoso se ha puesto manos a la obra. Lo primero ha sido construir el Shredz64, un interfaz que conecta el mando-guitarra del Guitar Hero con el Commodore 64, y actualmente está programando el juego. ¡Un aplauso para este hombre!
Y para terminar... ¡El niño! Ese condenado niño al que le vimos hacer todo tipo de proezas con el Guitar Hero II llega de nuevo para desilusionarnos (y asustarnos). Estoy teniendo prob
This came as a surprise to us when we got this via mail. A member of the StreetWagons Forums by the psudonym of 'DBVSWagon' snapped two shots of the Holden VE Commodore Wagon and the HSV Ute Maloo during a product presentation. There was no official word regarding Holden's development on the new wagon, but these shots confirm the speculations. The second shot shows us the upcoming HSV Ute Maloo.

Ieri dopo aver pubblicato il tema sul Commodore 64 per Wordpress, mi sono rivenuti in mente tanti ricordi.
Mi sono messo alla ricerca dei vecchi giochi, tra cui il Soccer, uno dei giochi che rivoluzionò il mondo dei videogames all’inizio degli anni ‘80, e sono riuscito a trovare questo bellissimo emulatore online per i giochi del C64.
L’emulatore funziona in Java, quindi non dovrete scaricare o installare nulla, potrete giocare direttamente online nel vostro browser.
Il sito usa la stessa tecnologia dell’emulatore nintendo 8bit che avevamo pubblicato qualche giorno fa, vi consiglio di provarlo, ci troverete tanti videogames bellissimi.

I più grandicelli se lo ricorderanno sicuramente, dopo il Vic 20, il Commodore 64 è stato il secondo Pc della mia vita.
Nel 1983 l’ho ricevuto per il decimo compleanno, fortemente voluto per via della grafica rivoluzionaria che aveva a 8bit con ben 64Kb di Ram, che all’epoca era il doppio di concorrenti del calibro di Atari e Apple. Primo computer tutto assemblato, ha superato tutti i record di vendite, ancora imbattuto, con 30 milioni di esemplari.
Per giocare con i videogames, oltre alle cartucce, esisteva un mangianastri che leggeva le vecchie cassette tipo walkman, per caricare un gioco ci volevano gli anni!

Even the cops in Australia have it over us. While we wait (impatiently) for the Pontiac G8 to start rolling off transport ships originating from the island continent sometime next year, the new VE Commodore is now entering fleet duty as a police interceptor. Holden released a trio of shots showing full-dress VE Commodore SSes ready for duty on the undoubtedly long stretches of road running through the Outback in Australia's Northern Territory. Boy, we would burn through a lot of gas if we were Australian police officers on patrol out there with one of these as the "company car."[Source: Autoblog]Continued- More images
Alcuni giorni fa, è uscita la notizia che la Commodore, o almeno chi ne ha acquistato il marchio, era in procinto di presentare un nuovo e strabiliante gaming-pc. La news si è diffusa a macchia d’ olio, credo dovuto a lacrimucce nostalgiche, soprattutto di coloro che come me che hanno avuto un Commodore negli anni ‘80.
Bene, è arrivato il giorno della presentazione. Oggi, al CeBIT 2007 ad Hannover, in Germania, sono state ufficializzate le specifiche tecniche e sono stati esposti alcuni prototipi. Sul sito Commodore Gaming, potete vedere tutti i modelli di questo nuovo gaming-PC.
Devo ammettere che sono un pò deluso. E’ ovvio che non potevo aspettarmi un PC-tastiera come il vecchio Commore-64, ma neanche una cosa così… pacchiana? Questa mia delusione credo comunque sia legata anche all’ abuso che è stato fatto del marchio Commodore dopo il fallimento della Commodore Intenational. Infatti la Tulip Computers ne ha acquistato il marchio e i brevetti
The Commodore brand, one of the most prolific brands in computing history, is making a comeback into the home computing space as a maker of “boutique” PCs in the same vein as Alienware and VoodooPC.
Commodore were one of the key companies (some might argue THE key company) in bringing state of the art computing to the masses with a line of revolutionary hardware in the 1970s and 1980s, with computers such as the Commodore PET (the first truly plug and play computer), the Commodore 64 (the computer that wiped out it’s competition in the low end gaming space inside of 2 years in the US thanks to great hardware at a low price) and the Commodore Amiga (technologically years ahead of it’s time, capable of true multi-tasking, advanced video effects and a meaty piece of gaming hardware too!).
Commodore succumbed to some very poor management in the mid 90’s and since has been through a couple of owners that didnt do the brand justice and used as a brand on micro
