I was sad when I heard Commodore went bankrupt back then... I wish they could have survived... wonder how the computing world would turn out.. ah...
I was sad when the Amiga came out already; no BASIC in ROM, no PETSCII keyboard - that was not a Commodore. They should have done a 16-bit machine compatible with the C64. Then, today, the most intuitive programming language would still be a thing, and great graphical characters would be part of Unicode and all over the place in the internet.
I know. I've wondered that myself.
I upgraded from an Atari 2600 jr to the Commodore 64. The graphics were a mind blowing! Cassette Tapes full of demos stuck to magazines! Ready / Run, happy times XD!
You had good taste!
I was telling my grandfather about how I got a c64 for free and he was telling me about remembering seeing the ads for the c64 back in the 80s and I finally found the ads.
"Please dad get me a C64 I'll learn programming I promise". Never wrote a single line of Basic but played games endlessly LOL
It's never too late.
I remember I was sick and stayed home from school when my parents brought home a Commodore 64 for me. That was in 1984. A few years later we sold unfortunately and bought a c128. I wish I would have kept the 64. But now I bought a C64 retro. Still brings back many great memories!
Are You keeping up with Commodore?
Coz Commodore are keeping up with you!
IT NEVER GETS OLD! xD I remember going to Breakpoint with my Modern x86_x64 Desktop (Q6600, 9800GTX+, 4 Gigs of DDR-800 RAM and that Piece of Shit MSI Mainboard that broke 2011) and my Complete Set of my AMIGA 3000. Had everything. Two Floppies, the original Commodore Monitor, Extension Cards etc.. It was broken and I bought it for about 10 €. Repaired that Baby myself. This was right before Retrogaming and Interest in Old Tech was going Mainstream... Almost 10 yrs now. Before the Retrogaming Craze, you couold get those so cheap even when theat Stuff was still functional. I remember saving One of the legendary Commodore 1530 from the Garbage and repaired it. We laso treaded Part's often... Good Times! No Scalper's, no Hipster's... Just a Bunch of Nerd's interessted in Retrocomputing and Gaming. ;)
For those of you who don't know... Breakpoint was the biggest Demoscene Event in Germany and one of the biggest in Europe. The first Convention started around 2002. Sadly, they discontinued it after 2010, so, that was the last Breakpoint that was held. :(
@@AlexanderBogdanow So in summary... You liked the jingle?
I had one for all of of my needs: Homework. Playing games. Anything I could think of. That was my computer.
I was born in 1991, but if I could travel back in time, JUST as an invisible and virtually void witness... ;)
"very realistic games". Man, I miss the 80s
Me too :-)
compared to a gigantic square block representing a "car" in the Atari 2600, the C64 had the most realistic games of the home computers, including astounding sound and music
I've always wondered what the water park scene has to do with computing?
You are right water and electronics don´t mix :-) but both are fun though
Early marketing logic xD
I think it just denotes "fun"!
It is a simple marketing technique, combining the content of advertising with the impression of fun, with something which is cool :)
Back in the day the jobs and work places were not designed in order to use a computer aid, so people wich was able to use computers could enjoy free time even for water parks in weekends. That was my case, I can remember my friends doing analysis in a big data on paper while I did it with plain files and macros in a very short time
$399 ? WOW, I don't remember it being so cheap in OZ nor John Laws selling it. I think when i got my Amiga, my Mum asked the salesman what should we buy Amiga 500, Atari ST (with the 20 games free pack) or the c64. He replied the Amiga.....Thanks for the memories
Good choice! After the C64, I bought an Atari ST because it was cheaper and had the midi port and I was (am again) into synthesizers. But the software geek in me always looked at the Amiga. I recently bought one and have so much fun programming simple intros on it in assembler. Much simpler than on the ST.
399 would have been a lot of money back then
We couldn't afford Commodore here in Canada so we settled with the radio shack knockoff TR-80 Mark III
@@mranderson6748 I know I couldnt buy one at all until 1990
I got an Amiga, didn't like it, so switched back to my C64. I rediscovered the C64 about two years ago, and now it is my main computer for programming and gaming again.
Thanks for taking the time to collect and post these. A vital and somewhat forgotten era of the pc revolution, without which nothing would be possible today. The engineering teams of these early personal computers had such passion and it came through in their products. Long live the bread box and C-64.
I totaly agree, thanks for whatching

@@vendybirdsvadl7472 ',1' tells the 64 to load the program to the memory address specified by the file - mostly relevant for machine code. Without it the program will be loaded to BASIC start at $0801 or decimal 2049, which is default for BASIC programs.
Computers were better before Facebook ruined everything.
Very good point.
3:01 The zx81 is not a bad computer. Overseas it gave computing to the masses and games are still being made for it. At least the BASIC had graphics commands

I want that cat for christmas, so cute :)
I'm keeping up with the Commodore 🎶🎵🎤
Thanks for the memories
Nice!i was a former member of Hotline,one of most famous cracking group.
I've always wondered why they did the reintroduction of the computer that it was written where the keyboard was re-introduced then the rest of it. I loved it. I had the system.

Cricket and sailboats, can you get any more Aussie?!
No.😀
We bought a used A1000 with extra ram, used it was about $1000!! Still have my old C64 and the Amiga 1000 somewhere in the back of my workshop, plus the dot matrix printers.
NICE :-)
Okay...how odd is the Australia reference book? If that sounds enticing then why not reach for the stars? When you pick up our brand new computer you will get 10 cases of cat food and a carrot, act now while supplies last!
My childhood
I just bought a 4K TV and it is very strange to me. It has tons of stuff with no cable needed but gets more than I could ever watch
I just now ordered a new xbox on it along with the Western game. I liked Forza but have not played in ages. I am 67. Advice please. Shit! I can't believe how old I am. I wrote fantastic games in the 80's
"the enormous 64K memory"...
I love that cat
Commodore's greatest products weren't their popular cheap home computers.
It was the awesome computer monitors they sold for these machines.
I didn't get monitors at the time; I used a TV set because then I could also watch television- (-;
No company has so badly humbled an apple as a commodore. and he did all this without anyone approaching him technologically, unlike today.
Apple is still in business today. Commodore is not.
C64 was a good, cheap, popular machine. But the tiny bite it took out of the Apple II market humbled nobody.
@@pwnmeisterage That "tiny" bite was just that it couldn't be expressed in numbers what Apple was able to sell back then. They were standing still. The only reason Apple didn't die of this was because Jack Tramiel left commodore. If he'd stayed, he'd be ploughed and salted all over cupertino.
@@bifftannen001 Not sure, Commodore had troubles already with the Amiga transitioning to the 16/32 bits era, and the writing was on the wall when IBM clones were flooding the market. Commodore tried producing IBM clones, but even with their high vertical integration there was no competing on costs with the Taiwanese founderies.
In all this, Apple managed to survive by not competing on the same market. And even with that, they *barely* survived in the 90s.
@ Yes, the Amiga was too little too late. An earlier 16-Bit-computer compatible with the C64 could have killed both Apple and IBM clones.
Of all the 8-bit computers of the 80s, the Commodore 64 had the best games - especially when compared to the Apple II. But it wasn't great for much else. In my opinion, the Apple IIc / IIe made a better games machine than the Commodore 64 made a business computer. So I think if it could be afforded, the Apple II was the better choice as a general home computer of the time. Of course 8 year old me only cared about games and I can confirm the Commodore kids ruled the playground.
4:20 I would say that mouse left calling cards in that keyboard.
I am looking at my original C64 Receipt right now (Yes, I still have it..)....On 12/11/1982 (Christmas 1982)..My parents paid $680 Dollars and .93 cents (U.S.) for my Early Silver Label C-64 and Early C2N Datasette!!! I was the luckiest kid on the block! Later I would pick up a 1541 Disk Drive and the rest is history... PS: I still have all of it in great shape and working order! I will never sell it! :)
Realistic videogames. More than six millions sold
my first computer :)
Yeah I remember.
They really don't make commercials like they used to. The Old Spice ones are porbably the only good commercials nowadays.
Need to buy me some more Elephant floppy disks. 😉
... but then was comparative advertising allowed?
Furthermore:
Please, Can anyone tell me the name of the classical music piece in the sound trace of many of these commercials?
(eg. from 5:45 to 6:16 ) It sounds me like a piece in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach...
Can't answer the question about advertising. But the music is a segment of Bach's Two Part Inventions. A common demo program played on a Commodore machine of the era, which is why it's slower and simpler than expected.

OOOooo I can't wait for my Maxi to come in the mail. The 1980s hype train is real!
The Maxi is so nice :-) thanks for watching
Commodore Computer!!!!!
Had a dream last night that i was at an antique store and all around me were old computers, all priced at $10 then Ebay rears its ugly head
Ha ha a great dream turning into a nightmare
@@AlwaysOnEasy ikr. it seems so real, then the alarm clock rings and it begins to fade.
nononononono damn it!
must be my lucky day, i got a heart
Commodore mouse!
64 k amazing
ooh yes i remember there was good Times where i hacked with my Commodore 64 the Pentagon and the CIA..
Most who came from 3rd World countries never heard this brand and computer.
Wow, where are all the other ethnic computer users of the world?
doesnt work

hey whats wrong with the sinclair!
The French commercial gave me depression.
❤️
Why they call it 64 when most of them r the 128
It had 64K of memory and that's not the 128, it's the 64C.
Apple and IBM now: 'Bitch, please"
IBM, that company that's not released an actual PC in years.
No.
Is the first one Spanish
Nope i think it is french, thanks for watching
@Crippler Agression :-)
@Crippler Agression not really LOL. German sounds hard and French is softer.
😎👍🤓
isn't 499 for a C64 type C expensive?
Not when you think about all the power you get :-)
@@AlwaysOnEasy maybe in 1982. But type C came out in 1986, you can't ask 499 for an 8 bit computer in 1986++ when the Amiga 500 came out in 1987 and it was 16/32 bit with 512kb for 699$.
@@Corsa15DT But the Amiga 500 had no BASIC in ROM, no PETSCII keyboard, no tape port, no cartridge slot, and was not a C64.
@@Corsa15DT The 6581 SID (sound) chips from those machines sometimes sell for $500+ these days. They had a low longevity and high failure rate, not many still perfectly intact and functional, and not many C64 owners are willing to mute their machines. But they also had a very distinct sound quality which no other chip can fully emulate, some musicians are willing to pay a high price to obtain one for their synths.
@@pwnmeisterage last time I checked , c64s were selling for 200$ nowadays..
IBM was unbeatable it had many expension slots, these allowed hardware experiments at home, that led to development. Most high-tech while produced for us in factories is invented at home. 🏠 I love being home.
SO THAT MADE IBM, INTENTIONAL OR NOT, THE BEST HOME COMPUTER.
IBM aimed for business, but home users are intelligent creative and innovative. Today we work at home, it is proven more effective for technology development. And we have the "BUSINESS" computer @HOME to thank for it.
A 16-Bit-computer by Commodore compatible with the C64 in time could have beaten the IBM.
The home edition was the PC Jr. A computer so woefully under-expanded, Radioshack's Tandy 1000 beat the shit out of it enough to have its own graphics and sound.

the ad @ 2:12 is almost identical (including the voice, maybe even the same director/producer?) to apple's 90s ruclips.net/video/oXZSvWtk2iU/видео.html @ 0:52
HI I'M Suki Lopez NINA UNITED HIGH SCHOOL F128
The Atari 800 was a much more powerful machine and had dual 8 bit CPU's The main 6502 and another chip called ANTIC that would handle Atari's superior graphics and sound. The C64 was divided by 4 separate banks of memory and required extra code to link them unlike Atari that had continuous ram all through. Notice how Commodore was too chicken to mention Atari?
Yeah, but the c64 is the best selling computer of all time. Can Atari say that about any of their computers?
@@jeeperscreepers8902 I love your handle.
I did a lot Service calls at night to Commodore for Alarms and there were thousands of repairs stacked up in the Toronto warehouse. The cops always missed that stuff was gone and how they got in. I was not a dumbass Security guard but a fine expert in troubleshooting alarms. Cops are stupid. The thefts were always from the inside where the perimeter was not broken. We had primitive motion sensors at the time and used separate display units to monitor them. If two of these went off at the same time using two different technologies the cops still called it another false alarm.
@@jeeperscreepers8902 Commodores were about two thirds as good as Atari but that STUFF was Super expensive at the time, like thousands of dollars without buying games. You Wrote your own bloody games
I grew up with 800xl and C64 bread bin, early c64 games were pretty similar... even were better on Atari... but after 85' games on C64 were much much better, have you ever seen the latest c64 homebrew games??? or scene demos ??? are mind-blowing!!! I love Atari but on their 8-bit computer line simply they got stuck with the same hardware (from 78'), C64 video VIC || chip has its 2/3 capabilities for hardware sprite handling, sound capabilities with SID chip 6581 a true synthesizer not a tone or beep sound generation, Pokey sound is not bad but it coming from 70' ... but SID-chip it is the sound from the eighties!!!
@@claudioquintanilla1471 Got it!
lol why would you want one of these ever. it looks like complete shit.
Could be worse it could be a Vic 20
I got bored about 1/2 way through this. LOL.
