Commodore 65 & Mega 65 - The Retro Hour EP273

Episode 273,   Apr 30, 2021, 12:20 AM

The Commodore 65 was a cancelled super 8-bit computer from the early 90s, but in 2021 a team of hardcore fans have created a 21st century realisation of it. Running 40x faster than a C64 with some stunning modern features. We chat to project founder Paul Gardner-Stephen.
