Australian Commodore 64 Ad - Improved Audio (1983)

- 1983 Australian Ad for the Commodore 64. The music and visuals are so much better than the commercials we had for this computer here in the states.
NOTE: I needed this ad for a video project on my other channel. So I used the improved audio found in a different ad and re-mixed it to match (as best as possible) the original audio for this commercial. Came out better than I thought so I figured I'd share.

Sometimes, when I'm laying in bed at night and everything is quiet, I do find myself wondering, 'Am I keeping up with the Commodore'?
As a young teen in the 1980s, my friend and I used to laugh at the kid listing the program over and over, as though he were doing something technical and magical. Bahaha! :)
well now we know the human brain is the equivalent of a mos 6502 variant. After all the Commodore is keeping up with us.
You could be right. There is a band that plays a cover of The Last Ninja game tune, or at least a part of it. Even though the MOS-SID chip had 3 monophonic, but independent parts, do you think it's easy to play? Hell no, a full band has a lot of trouble keeping up with the Commodore!
This is older than me yet it's stuck in my head and won't leave
That kid typing LIST ENTER is basically my teenage years. What a beautiful song and ad. Resonates a lot even after, what, 35 years
C64s are still around (even new ones), why don't you get one. I did, new main hobby. (-:
Even easier is to get the VICE emulator for C64, C128 and Vic20. Best regards
ha,ha!
@@SergioGomez-qe3kn Yeah I've had all the emulators for 15 years, they are great. cheers
@@NuntiusLegis What are these new ones you speak of? Do you mean "The C64"?
LOAD"$",8,1 ...LIST ...RUN
Too many times! Mostly the Last Ninja, although I booted Outrun hundreds of times too!!
@@lundsweden Oh wow.. The Last Ninja was one of my favourite games along with Colony and Curse of Sherwood. I preferred Test Drive over Outrun lol
",1" implies a machine program, not much to LIST then. (-;
No 1 at the end when doing the "$".
Australia i love you
In this theme, the MXR 185 and Oberheim DX were heard.
I wonder if somebody could recreate the instrumental with all the original synths (or at least VSTs).
is this a threat
I wish we had a version of this commodore commercial in the US at the time. It’s more fun than the commercials they used here at the time. 😂
It has indeed more Sheila, Vegemite and Koala to it.
Us Aussies sure punched above our weight with this fantastic ad. It helped too that our biggest selling car here for years was also called the Commodore. I spent years trying to keep up with the Commodore.
@@OldAussieAds Holden commodore.
I love it ... 😊
I'd love to fine the group that made this song. I'd buy a whole album of this song.
0:18 ... How is the entire classroom supposed to see what's on a tiny 1701 screen? They should have had the 64 hooked up to a big television, or even a projector, which those types of connections were possible back then. Missed opportunity for the commercial, as school administrations would have seen that & say, "Hey we need something like that for our school."
Your are right. In the school district where I lived they used Apple Ii series computers. One of the things they would do for those in the classroom was connect it to a large color tv on the same cart as the computer so that all of the students in the classroom could see what is actually happening on the screen. Also, the tv carts were tall enough so that you could see without other students heads getting in the way. Sometimes, the same cart would have a VCR for playing instructional and educational videos.
@@jkeelsnc ... Hi, yes, our schools had those types of rolling carts too, just not with C-64's, as they did not use them. Our school used primarily TRS-80's (the ones with integrated monitors) for programming classes, although not really for stage projection on a TV/projector. They probably acquired the TRS-80's a few years before the C-64 was born. I actually brought my C-64 to school for one programming finals exam demonstration instead of using the inhouse TRS-80. I'm sure some schools back in the 1980's used C-64's in this fashion with carts, just not ours. Of course, with some C-64 power supplies infamously known to crap out, they probably were questioning their investments, heh.
I know. I don't remember any Australian schools with Commodores in the 80s. As far as I know, they were mostly Apple IIs and Macs (and maybe IBM PCs). But when those school kids came home, there was a good chance they hopped on to their Commodore 64s.
@@OldAussieAds sounds exactly like the us schools at the time. And of course with the requisite c64 at home with 1541 etc.
@@jkeelsnc I actually forgot another computer we had here in some schools - The MicroBee, which was an Australian build computer.
Nothing shows more that Commodore was ahead of its time than they connected computer technology to girls in bikini.

I love it!
HAHA This is a nostalgia trip. It was a really catchy jingle I still get stuck in my head.
Nice!
I REALLY LOVE C64 👍🥂🎩
Commodore isn't keeping up with me at all, it still wont run Crysis.
Try to run Rush n' Attack in it.
If you'd kept up with the Commodore, you'd ported it.
Wow, I need to get one of those. Probably too expensive. I'll wait until they go down
Used ones rather go up ...
This was my first computer, I remember singing the chorus all the time because I wanted one so bad. Used to love my C64, downloaded an emulator last year to play a few games, was thinking WTF is this shit lol
Appararently, commodore marketing worked on you. I do prefer this commercial to the boring ones commodore used here in the US at the time.

@@isagaige Still one dislike, count that as negative one. 65 - 1 equals.... you know.
I just liked my own video to screw it up. Take that, "other me".
