With other 10,000 commercial games produced and the Commodore 64 sold in it's millions, the C64 was one of the most successful micro computers of all time.
The C64 brought the world of computing and programming to the masses with a machine that was highly spec'd for the time in both performance, graphics and sound. The SID chip allowed games to use sound for the first time in more of a peformance to the game - rather than a bleep and blop of sound in the backgroud. Composers such as Rob Hubbard, David Dunn, Martin Galway and Kjell Nordbø being among the most reknowned.The 'C64' as it was known - became a huge hit for computer tech heads and gamers alike. and is still very much loved by Retro gamers to this day.
