Commodore 64

The Commodore 64 — 1982

The best-selling computer model of all time, and for good reason: it was fast, it was affordable, and it played games like nothing else around. Load one from a floppy disk, wait for the rainbow splash, and off you went.

Sports games were a Commodore specialty — keyboard in one hand, joystick in the other. The Football and Ice Hockey titles below carry that spirit: simple controls, real physics, and scores that started arguments. And when the starter's gun fires in the 100m, it's a flat-out thumb-mash sprint to the wire.
