Too many rehashes.

Nothing, it was one of the best selling systems of all time and crushed its competitors.

Computers got bigger. Compare that computer from the 80s to this computer from the 90s. Apparently Moore's law is in reverse.

bankrupcy

Fell for the 64 kilobytes of RAM meme.

Commodore couldn't market for shit after the 64.

Computers didn’t get bigger
Computers got more self contained
The C64 for example has no built in HDDs, no built in floppies and any type of expansion was external, by the time you had some floppy drives and a tape deck it was not compact
The PC of the 90s in the other hand had multiple floppy drives and HDDs inside the machine itself, the PC also had internal expansion slots

Nothing. It was the best selling single personal computer model of all time, and a great affordable little toy for giving the general public a taste of what computers could do for us.

>a fully expandable computer with a monitor, mouse and speakers is bigger than a terminal with a keyboard on top
Really makes me think.

The Nexuses were sexy mofos. Pixel has had absolutely shit design in every iteration.

Only thing that went wrong is that you weren't aborted.

Where did Zack Morris hide his phone when it wasn't in use?

You are pretty much useless if you don't know you can get that info in about a minute.

At least they were used in John Wick!

>What went wrong?
With mine: Joystick port #2. It stopped working. Which was mostly fine but some games would only work on joystick port 2 for some reason. Other than that.. it was a pretty decent thing. Of course, I was like 5-6 at the time.

Kind of want to see that with profile shots included.

The question is what went wrong here?

I'm guessing you're not in the UK or EU?

people kept losing the ignition key.

pretty good machine. everything went wrong with commodore at that point.

these computers never caught on in burgerland like they did overseas

Yeah they're pretty easy to find cheap here in our equivalent of yard sales and thrift stores. Kinda fucked if you're in burgerland.
