Wow, I saw this news on a Telegram channel and I found it interesting:

🔥 The Commodore 64 is back — with RGB, Wi-Fi, and an official badge

The legendary Commodore 64 just got resurrected — meet the C64 Ultimate. Not an emulator, but a real FPGA-based machine (Artix 7), fully recreating the OG hardware architecture.

Retro YouTuber Christian Simpson (Retro Recipes) is leading the charge — literally bought the Commodore brand and promises to ship it, crowdfunding or not.

Specs? 128MB DDR2 RAM (yes, megabytes), RGB mechanical keyboard (Gateron Pro), HDMI, Wi-Fi, FAT32 flash support, and even OG cartridge/cassette ports. You also get a USB-cassette with 50+ licensed games inside.

Three versions drop: Basic Beige, Starlight (clear case + sound-reactive lighting), and the fancy Founders Editionwith amber case and a gold chain badge. Pre-orders are open, shipping in October. Starting at $300.

This is no clone — this is the real Commodore.

What do you think, in my opinion it’s a good idea, especially for the nostalgic tech.
