The C64 (Electronic Games)

Product Information

By 1988, PC compatibles were the largest and fastest-growing home and entertainment software markets, displacing former leader Commodore. [53] Commodore 64 software sales were almost unchanged in the third quarter of 1988 year over year while the overall market grew 42%, [54] but the company was still selling 1 to 1.5 million units worldwide each year of what Computer Chronicles that year called "the Model T of personal computers". [55] Epyx CEO David Shannon Morse cautioned that "there are no new 64 buyers, or very few. It's a consistent group that's not growing... it's going to shrink as part of our business." [56] One computer gaming executive stated that the Nintendo Entertainment System's enormous popularity–seven million sold in 1988, almost as many as the number of C64s sold in its first five years–had stopped the C64's growth. Trip Hawkins reinforced that sentiment, stating that Nintendo was "the last hurrah of the 8-bit world". [57] Thankfully, the C64 Mini is able to run Commodore 64 ROMs right out of the box via its USB port, however the process of getting these going isn't particularly user-friendly. First, you'll need to acquire said ROMs, which must be the correct file type (.d64) and must also be saved to the root folder of a FAT32 formatted USB drive.

Commodore BASIC keywords could be abbreviated by entering first an unshifted keypress, and then a shifted keypress of the next letter. This set the high bit, causing the interpreter to stop reading and parse the statement according to a lookup table. This meant that the statement up to where the high bit was set was accepted as a substitute for typing the entire command out. However, since all BASIC keywords were stored in memory as single byte tokens, this was a convenience for statement entry rather than an optimization.
