This Week in Retro · Commodores Under the Christmas Tree - This Week In Retro 249 · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

in the middle happening well well before christmas they've been shipping they're catching up still on on all the pre-orders because it was so popular but yeah it is shipping many people have got it for christmas and this week we are filming the multi-system jammer which is a multi-system two specifically made for jammer arcade cabinets so quite a niche product but you know that's that's what's happening now people are catering to these niches um some of which are not so niche when you look at for example the ten thousand or so sales that um

CIC have done with their new Commodore 64.

There is demand out there.

Dave, how much would you pay to wipe your backside on chicken lip toilet paper?

That's not why I was putting my hand up.

The community has been mentioned a few times.

I just took some notes while we were chatting.

So Commodore founded in 1958.

The PET, essentially their first home computer, came out in 1977.

From 1958 to 1994, when they went bust, they were at Commodore around for 36 years, 17 years of which were Commodore computers around.

94 to today, that's 31 years of Commodore not existing and the community keeping it alive and the community to drive it.

So when Dave says, oh, we should have had 10p per magazine, just take a step back and reflect on 31 years of the community keeping Commodore alive and keeping it relevant and giving it love.

There's a lot of value to that as well.

That's the only reason it's still around now.

They've just got to tread very carefully on that community side.

because if it wasn't for the community, they wouldn't be here now.

I'm reserving judgment on what Commodore have done for that product in particular, because it existed.

They've pulled together some projects.

They've packaged it.

You've given us some great feedback, Dave, about how great their communication's been as a buyer.
