27.08.2022 - Exploring 1982's Commodore MAX Machine - new Video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
In 1982 Commodore launched a system featuring a 6510 CPU, a VIC-II video chip, and a SID sound chip, and it wasn't a Commodore 64.

Join Robin as we look at this obscure system, and compare it to its much more famous (and capable) big brother the Commodore 64.
