COMMODORE 64 BURGERTIME Programmed by Lee Braine. The Commodore 64, released by Commodore Business Machines, was an 8-bit computer that had a proprietary operating system and was one of the most successful home computers of all time. It ran BASIC 2.0 and had 64k of memory. It replaced Commodore's earlier popular home computer, the VIC-20. Burgertime was developed for the C64.

Commodore released an Amiga model, the A1000, in 1985. This machine contained the same Motorola 68000 processor as the Apple Macintosh but was a color machine capable of displaying 32 simultaneous colors from a palette of 4096 colors.

There is an interesting and lengthy history of the C64 at The Story of Commodore.

CPU: 6502
