Commodore 64 Games System
The Commodore 64 Games System (often abbreviated C64GS) is the cartridge-based home video game console version of the popular Commodore 64 home computer. It was released in December 1990 by Commodore into a booming console market dominated by Nintendo and Sega. It was only released in Europe and was a considerable commercial failure. The C64GS came bundled with a cartridge that featured four games: ''Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun'', ''International Soccer'', '' Flimbo's Quest'' and '' Klax''. The C64GS was not Commodore's first gaming system based on the C64 hardware. However, unlike the 1982 MAX Machine (a game-oriented computer based on a very cut-down version of the same hardware family), the C64GS is internally very similar to the complete C64, with which it is compatible. Out of the approximately 80,000 consoles produced, only 20,000 consoles were sold. Available software Support from games companies was limited, as many were unconvinced that the C64GS would be a succe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
