The Commodore 64 is a microcomputer released by [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Commodore International|{{#if:||Commodore International}}]] in 1982. It was one of the most popular low-end computers of the 1980s, with total sales estimated between 12 and 17 million units. While marketed as a general-purpose computer, the Commmodore 64 is well remembered for its library of early 8-bit video games, with over 10,000 games having been released for the system such as Maniac Mansion, Turrican, Wizball, Little Computer People, and Boulder Dash.

Notes

  • The Commodore 64 version of Turrican plagiarized the tracks "Escape" and "Death of Optimus Prime" from The Transformers: The Movie for its soundtrack.
  • Topspin's character model was similarly plagiarized for the manual of The Movie Monster Game for Commodore 64, where it was repurposed as the enemy robot "Mechatron".
