By that same logic, I'm pleased to announce my own new Commodore venture! The new Commodore PAD is available directly from me for only $249.95. Coming in an elegant pastel yellow with beautiful earth texturing, it serves all your computing needs, from addition to subtraction! Using the included ergonomic stylus, you can even play games! Don't wait! Order today!

That Pad looks about as moldy as the joke itself.

They really try to sell pictures of Amiga Games as NFT for f.e. 250$.
Makes me sick.

Predseda · 06 April 2022, 23:36

I find the complete NFT thing absolutely stupid globally.

nivam · 07 April 2022, 01:15

They sell a jpg of Monkey Island for 250$ ??? How ridiculus is that?

Windows 11 and Android! But... but you get the keyboard! And a whole ton of nostalgia (for which you'll pay extra of course).

By the way those 'Amiga' NFTs are cute. I mean nobody is buying them and that must have taken the creator by surprise

If I order three, can you make a better price? Very nice design by the way

That's a -50$ rebate!!! I take 10.

Akiko · 01 June 2022, 08:34

If they haven't acquired the rights to Snowman Maker from McBill, I'm really not interested.

Another pathetic cash grab

. Why can't anyone in the Commodore world (IP owners that is) get their act together and actually do a REAL progressive update like they did with the ZX Spectrum Next? The only thing that comes close is the Mega65, so it's sad that it takes those that don't own the Commodore IP to make an honest and serious attempt at it.

I only have ever used a C64 at someone else's house and in MESS on my A4000, but what they should do is make it a 64-bit CPU and instead of a SID chip make it a 24bit/96khz 64 channel thing. And add a PCIe GPU and an M2 for storage with the extra PCIe lanes. Otherwise keep everything the same. Composite out, just to make things difficult.

HaHaHa HaHaHa HaHaHaHa HaHaHa HaHaHaHa HaHaHaHa HaHaHa HaHaHaHa HaHaHa HaHaHa HaHa....

I feel better after that!

They actually gave me some free Amiga games promo recently, so personally happy with that result.

Just as it took the non owner of the Amiga IP (RetroGames Ltd. with TheA500 mini) to produce a marketable product.
See the pattern?
For both Commodore and Amiga IP owners it's all about licensing.

I really don't understand why they're even trying. What a huge waste of time and money... What kind of investor would invest in a dead brand like this? It has no good reputation among the newer generation whatsoever.
