History: Commodore's unreleased C64 game machine
In December 1990 Commodore released the Commodore 64 Games System (C64GS), which became a big commercial failure. As the 'Commodore International Historical Society' reports in its latest blog entry, there were obviously concrete ideas in this direction some years before: Andy Finkel provides pictures in this blog entry that show an early prototype. According to the manufacturing date of the chips, this variant is said to date back to at least 1985 and contained a built-in two-button joystick from Sony. (dr)
