The Commodore 64 that never existed

This guy is a genius. What I wouldn’t give to own such a wonderful little gem…

The nostalgia anytime I see a C-64 image or story… :face_holding_back_tears:

Seeing that I was sure I remembered a ”portable” C=64. I googled it and sure enough!

But that ”Lap”top version is way cooler!

Hehe the video does touch on that and how it actually wasn’t a very much portable system unlike this one. :grin:

Indeed not. Not even a battery. I love the term ”luggable” though :wink:

Perfect for LAN parties … though that wouldn’t be a thing for another five or ten years :wink:

I remember my very first ‘LAN party’.

  1. Bundled up my PC, Monitor, keyboard and mouse onto the backseat of the car. Drove the 30 minutes to a mates place, someone who (kinda) knew what they were doing. Connected our computers via a null modem cable and we spent the rest of that Saturday playing Doom.

It does roll off the tongue nicely, doesn’t it? I don’t give a ‘stuff’ about what various dictionaries choose. That is my word of the year for 2025.
