Introducing the Brand new Commodore gaming PC
Commodore holds a unique place in computer and gaming history. The company played a much overlooked pioneering role in making computers available to the general public by creating the home computer business model and made many other monumental achievements. The new Commodore gaming PC stands firmly on this legendary foundation to build the future in high end gaming.
Dawn of the PC era In 1977, before anyone else, Commodore International Corporation released the first ever personal computer, the Personal Electronic Transactor (PET), and as a result created a revolutionary new market, one that also served to introduce many to the joys and thrills of electronic games.
