When Cyberpunk 2077 first came out, it was virtually unplayable. The game was brimming with countless bugs and glitches. Even the most powerful rigs couldn’t run it without issues. Thankfully, CD Projekt Red eventually fixed everything. The turnaround is remarkable, and it now boasts a legion of fans. In fact, the new Commodore 77 is proof of its popularity until now.
After a series of incremental patches, the current version of the open-world RPG is a far cry from the inaugural version. Even the expansion was met positively by both critics and the average gamer. Plus, the anime tie-in with Netflix keeps the franchise relevant, especially with a new installment due to release next month.
The marketing of the Commodore 77 is perfect since Night City is once again in the spotlight ahead of the show. This special version of the Commodore 64 Ultimate retro computer arrives with a flashy aesthetic overhaul. It’s ideal for BASIC coding enthusiasts, writers, and players of classic games.
Its distinctive design is apparently by the fictional South Korean brand Seocho Electronics. Each unit ships with a “‘Shard’ cartridge holding an exclusive 8-Bit Cyberpunk 2077 ‘demo’ experience, from Commodore x Arise Designs, with 24-channel stereo SID music by LukHash.” This hardware is packing an AMD Artix 7 XC7A100T processor.
Connectivity options include 3x USB-A 2.0, 1x USB-C, HDMI, 6-pin edge, 6-pin IEC DIN, 26-pin, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and more. Overall, the Commodore 77 is an awesome piece of retro-modern tech. We love the futuristic motif, as it seems to have been plucked straight out of the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
