Commodore 64

Overview:

The Commodore 64 is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International. It is listed in the Guinness World Records as the highest-selling single computer model of all time, with independent estimates placing the number sold between 10 and 17 million units.Volume production started in early 1982, marketing in August for US$595 (equivalent to $1,461 in 2015). Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore PET, the C64 took its name from its 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM. It had superior sound and graphical specifications compared to other earlier systems such as the Apple II and Atari 800, with multi-color sprites and a more advanced sound processor.

@In virtute Dei - Aye, it's perfect. The platform images are great as well, we need those more than anything as the database looks quite empty without them. (although the metadata itself is also awesome :) )

I'll look into uploading all of it in a little bit. I've got a few things on my plate, but this is up there too :). Thanks again! Muchly appreciated!

Commodore Plus 4

Release Date: 1984

Developer: Commodore International

Manufacturer: Commodore International

Max Controllers: 2

CPU: MOS Technology 8501

Memory: 64 KB RAM, 64 KB ROM

Graphics: MOS Technology TED

Sound: MOS Technology TED

Display: 320 x 200

Media:  ROM Cartridge, Cassette Tape

Overview:

The Commodore Plus/4 is a home computer released by Commodore International in 1984. The "Plus/4" name refers to the four-application ROM resident office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, database, and graphing); it was billed as "the productivity computer with software built-in".  Internally, the Plus/4 shares the same basic architecture as the lower-end Commodore 16 and 116 models, and is able to use software and peripherals designed for them. However, it is not compatible with the well-established Commodore 64.  While the Plus/4 had some success in Europe, it was a failure in the United States, where it was derided as the "Minus/60".
