Look, someone please just tell us what kind of scrolling it is and enjoy spaceflight, bulky computing, Amstrad CPC ports and more, when This Week in Retro 244 arrives Saturday!

If you haven't pre-ordered, there’s still time to secure your spot in Batch 1 of the Commodore 64 Ultimate pre-orders over at commodore.net to make sure you’ll be among the first to receive yours.
Don't forget that the Founders Edition will be a one-time run. Once it's gone, it's gone!

I truly LOVE the look of the Commodore 64 Breadbin! I prefer it over the look of the C64C and its wedge case. Taking a straw poll, you are being given a C64 and can choose a C64 Breadbin or C64C, which to you pick and why. #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore #WeAreCommodore

Ok, obviously I'm a little slow but I just bought the August issue of Compute!'s Gazette. The return of an old rag from way back then.
Not just for the Commodore, there are articles on Tandy and Atari along with old rag style articles and examples in BASIC and 6502 Assembly
I'm impressed!
