Commodore 64 was one of the most popular and best-selling home computers of the 80's. It had a vast library of games available in floppy disk and cassette tape formats. During the Great Video Game Crash of 1983, Commodore attempted to break into the market which had mostly been lost to Atari. Commodore also had an earlier system called the VIC-20. In the Dracula-themed episode, the Nerd is seen reviewing a game for the VIC-20 called The Count, which was made by Scott Adams who had programmed a series of "Adventure" games that involved mapping and typing as opposed to making a character fight.

  • The Commodore 64 (often abbreviated C64) was an 8-bit home computer released by Commodore International in August, 1982, featuring 64 kilobytes of RAM with sound and 16-color graphics performance that were superior to IBM-compatible computers of that time. It came with a built-in version of Commodore Basic programming language. During the Commodore 64's lifetime (1982-1994) sales totaled 30 million units, making it the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. Several games in the Indiana Jones franchise were made or adapted for the Commodore 64 computer:

Charlie added that during circumstances like those, the system shuts down the bunker.

It had a whopping 65,536 bytes of RAM, and came with a BASIC interpreter. You had one-byte-at-a-time access to all of the RAM (with 'peek' and 'poke' commands in BASIC) so you could hack the software to your heart's content, or write in pure machine code.

Charlie said that the whole system acts like an alarm in cases of global catastrophe, such as angels being cast out of Heaven, as Kevin Tran has witnessed. Charlie added that during circumstances like those, the system shuts down the bunker. Sam asked Charlie if they could use the system to track angels, to which Charlie replied she would see what she could do. After some tinkering, Charlie claimed that they could now download files into the system, and then proceeded to import all the files of the Men of Letters. However, the hacker gave no mention of Commodore 64's ability to track angels.

Used audio tapes (ick, no) or 5.25" floppy disks (170 kilobytes!) for loading & saving data. Thanks to 'peek','poke' and a lack of any RAM protection by the OS, software piracy exploded as kids swapped floppies during every recess. This lead to the trend of copy protection schemes where the game would stop halfway and ask you to solve a puzzle with the help of a chart in the manual, or assembling puzzle bits that were in the box. If you can't be arsed to get a C=64 emulator, you can buy old Commodore 64 games (with an emulator wrapper) on the Nintendo Wii shopping channel.
