Booting a Commodore 64 in 1982 required more patience than a Buddhist monk and delivered roughly the processing power of a digital wristwatch. The joystick survived more frustrated slams than any peripheral deserved, and it still outlasted three marriages.
The Details:
Rainbow horizontal stripes in red, yellow, green, and blue span the upper portion of the design above a stylized "C=" logo in the top left corner, with cream outlined block text reading "commodore" and "64" centered below. A halftone-printed vintage illustration depicts a beige C64 keyboard unit flanked by a floppy disk drive on the left, a monitor with a cyan screen in the center, and a joystick on the right. A second set of rainbow stripes in red, orange, yellow, green, and blue runs beneath cream outlined text reading "THE ADVANCED HOME" and "COMPUTER."
