In January of 1982, Commodore introduced an 8-bit home computer to the world. That computer was known as the Commodore 64. It was released in August of that year with a $595 USD price tag. The Commodore 64 had 64 kilobytes of memory with performance of sound and graphics that was superior to IBM-compatible computers of the time. During its lifetime, it sold about seventeen million units, which makes it the best-selling single personal computer model of all-time. It actually dominated the PC market from 1983 to 1986, outselling computers put out by IBM and Apple.

     Part of the success of the Commodore 64 could be due to the fact that it was sold in retail stores rather than electronics stores, and that you didn't need to buy a monitor; you could hook it right up to your television at home without any modifications needed. Roughly 10,000 software programs were created for the Commodore 64, from development tools, office applications, and what we'll focus on on this site, games.

     As of March 28, 2008 in Europe, Nintendo brought Commodore 64 games to their Wii Virtual Console service. On February 23, 2009, Nintendo also brought Commodore 64 games to the North American version of the Wii Virtual Console.
