Y ahora el Commodore 64C Ultimate!!

La nueva Commodore da la sorpresa con el anuncio del nuevo Commodore 64C Ultimate que recupera el diseño del clásico Commodore 64C apostando por una fidelidad total en materiales y procesos. Este lanzamiento llega poco después del exitoso Commodore 64 Ultimate, reforzando la estrategia de la actual Commodore de explotar su legado histórico.

Uno de los puntos clave es el uso del herramental original fabricado en 1986 en Japón por Min Luong. Tras años olvidados en EE. UU., los moldes fueron recuperados en 2014 por Dallas Moore y restaurados tras sobrevivir incluso a un incendio, pasando también por icon.de antes de volver a manos de Commodore. Cada molde pesa alrededor de 1.300 kg.

Las carcasas se producen mediante inyección de PLA y mantienen una característica marca de flujo en el plástico, resultado del diseño original del molde con dos puntos de inyección. Este detalle, presente también en las unidades de los años 80, se utiliza como señal de autenticidad.

El diseño conserva las líneas del 64C, en sintonía con equipos como el Commodore Amiga 500 y el Commodore 128. Actualmente ya hay carcasas fabricadas y listas para ensamblaje, con reservas abiertas a través de la web oficial.
