I Bought a Boxed Commodore 64 – Will It Still Work in 2024

In today’s Retro4U video, we dive into retro tech with a classic boxed Commodore 64! This legendary machine has been a staple in computing history, but will it still power on and perform? Join me as I unbox this beauty, test its functionality, and check for any hidden issues. We’ll power it up, inspect its legendary design, and troubleshoot anything that seems off.

If everything goes to plan, I’ll also be testing out the Sidekick64 cartridge we built, thanks to PCBWay. With games and utilities loaded up, we’ll push this C64 to its limits! Whether you’re a fan of retro tech or just curious about vintage computers, this video is packed with hands-on testing, nostalgic moments, and some classic gaming fun.
