From HOCP:

Commodore 64 Turning 25

After twenty five years, the Commodore 64 is still loved by many. You know, it seems like just yesterday that they were all the rage, doesn’t it? Hard to believe it has been a quarter of a century. Thanks to everyone that sent this one in.

On Monday, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, will celebrate the C64's 25th anniversary. Computer pioneers will reflect on the C64's achievements and contribution to the industry. Jack Tramiel, the founder and CEO of Commodore, will attend, along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and William C. Lowe, father of the IBM PC.

The missile layout thingy reminds me of F-15 Strike Eagle.

You know why? I bet they did what a lot of people did back then, and put screenshots from Amiga (or other higher-end versions,) on the box/commercial/etc. I used to HATE that!!!

Have to use old style youtube embedding on the forum, the forum software is probably old as the commodore...
