New Commodore owners with new website and first products
Two weeks ago, Youtuber Christian 'Perifractic' Simpson announced that an unnamed group of investors had taken over Commodore and that he would be the new CEO. Today, the "new" Commodore is advertising its first product in a short video: The "C64 Ultimate", available in three different editions, combines a breadbox case - presumably from RetroFuzion - with the FPGA-based C64 replica Ultimate 64 Elite-II and an unknown USB keyboard with a C64 look. The devices should be available from October or November, but interested parties can already order and pay for the devices now - which are limited to 10,000 or 6400 units, depending on the version.

A FAQ on the new website is intended to clarify some open questions, while the team section gives an overview over the people involved or working as consultants.

Commodore purchase price: "Yes, the equivalent of $ 2,160,000 US dollars was quoted in the Computes! Gazette Magazine #1 feature article, so that is correct."

ZorkLand – Retro Amiga Shooter (EHB Mode, 64 Colors)

A lost gem from 2013, reborn in 2025!

ZorkLand is a classic-style arcade shooter developed for the Commodore Amiga. Originally created in 2013, this project has been revived and polished in 2025 to finally see the light. Built to harness the unique power of the Extra Half-Brite (EHB) mode, ZorkLand pushes the Amiga to display up to 64 colors simultaneously—a visual treat for retro fans.
