Earlier this year, retro gaming YouTuber Christian "Peri Fractic" Simpson purchased the Commodore brand from a Dutch company, relaunching it with help from many former Commodore employees.

The revived brand is launching the Commodore 64 Ultimate, a new version of the iconic home computer based on Gideon Zweijtzer's Ultimate 64 Elite-II board.

What are they trying to build more precisely?

Like a classic/upgraded C64, a modern PC, a gaming console? All seem to be financially complicated to say the least...

I can sell them my old Commodore calculator if they want to revive that one ๐Ÿ˜
