This is episode 198 of the Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN), a review of the Commodore 64 and a bunch of it's licensed and weirder games. The Commodore 64, also known as the C64 or the CBM 64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International. The C64 took its name from its 64 kibibytes of RAM. With support for multicolor sprites and a custom chip for waveform generation, the C64 could create superior visuals and audio compared to systems without such custom hardware. Except, well, the software was kinda garbage.

I guess the reason it took you so long to talk about this system was because that’s how long it took to boot it up.
-
We need a sequel episode to this
-
At 4:46, when he starts making buzzing noises, my computer froze and repeated that sound for over a minute, and it took a while for me to figure out anything was wrong. I thought, "wow, he committed to that bit, didn't he."
-
“Somebody’s tax documents from 1989” Is my favorite video game title!! 😁😁
-
“Hey, wanna listen to some tunes?” Puts on Netherworld OST
-
"The original Street Fighter was on Commodore, it's barely functional." So it's a pretty accurate port then.
-
This video convinced me to buy a Commodore 64 Mini. Best $40 Ive ever spent, because I absolutely LOVE it, not only for the great games but for how ridiculously easy and fun it is to program your own stuff on it!
-
When he starts jamming out to the soundtrack at 23:45... I felt that
-
The mighty C64 was my jam growing up. Lots of fond memories playing Bruce Lee, Legacy of the Ancients, Airborne Ranger, Space Taxi, Great Giana Sisters & so many more classics!
-
It makes me happy that everyone that's ever encountered a "floppy" floppy disk, actually flops it. It's like when you have a pair of tongs and you clack them together -- one of those compulsions you HAVE to give in to!
-
“Just make sure you grab the right one” is the greatest line ever spoken on YouTube.
-
I come back to AVGN. I still love the nerd. Thank you James!
-
"The name Cyberdyne was actually used for a Japanese robotics company" Just wait until he discovers the guys behind China's mass surveilance system named it Skynet as a direct homage to Terminator.
-
A lot of the weird Commodore 64 games give me the same feeling as old flash games on Newgrounds or Arcade Pod. So many of them were really bizarre but so enthralling and charming.
-
24:30 255/10 soundtrack. Also, I definitely agree with everyone here: You look younger and happier, this is in the same spirit as the old episodes! <3
-
I was born in 87 and I totally knew who Lauren and Hardy were. We used to love them, back in the day.
-
These are my favorite episodes. The ones where James gets to tell me about stuff I didn't know or didn't experience as a kid. Where I get a feel of what the past was like.
-
Nerd: "And who bought this?!" Also the Nerd: "Me :(" I felt that...
-
I remember the Commodore 64, wonderful memories of Death Knights of Krynn. Flipping through 6 - 8 disks was a little bothersome, but still an excellent game.
