The Commodore 64 Emulation Package by Cloanto
When the C64 was launched in 1982 it immediately set the standard for 8-bit
home computers. Its low cost, superior graphics, high quality sound and a
massive 64 KB of RAM positioned it as the winner in the home computer wars,
knocking out competitors from the likes of Atari, Texas Instruments, Sinclair,
Apple and IBM.
Selling over 30 million units and introducing a whole generation to computers
and programming, the C64 shook up the video games industry and sparked cultural
phenomena such as computer music and the demoscene. In recent years the C64
has enjoyed a spectacular revival manifesting itself once again as a
retrocomputing platform.
To allow you to experience and relive the wonders of this unique computer,
Cloanto, developers of Commodore/Amiga software since the 1980s and creators
of the famous
Amiga Forever
series, has introduced C64 Forever, a revolutionary preservation,
emulation and support package. C64 Forever embodies an intuitive player
interface, backed by a built-in database containing more than 5,000 C64 game
entries, and advanced support for the new RP2 format, dubbed the
"MP3 of retrogaming".
