  • Not sure if this had been posted before, but I just stumbled across this German blog article about a C65 papercraft model. Included within the gallery is a picture of a Commodore 65 manual which itself is a pretty rare find, but also the picture of the C65 depicts a "commodore 65" badge:

    Has this ever been seen before? Is it even original? It looks super original, but why is it that "used"? Why did it even get printed? It's supposedly from 1993, wasn't the C65 already declared dead at that point?

    The badge looks pretty much the way I'd have it expected to look like, in essence the same way as on a C64C or C128, which is no surprise. But still cool to see it "confirmed" of course :)

  • What's a bit strange is that the Commodore logo on the front of the manual is the old 70s one (with the lowercase "c" and the wide font), whereas on the back it's the more modern late-80s/90s logo. Even the shade of blue seems slightly different (more purple on the back, more turqoiseish on the front, so to speak), but this could be due to the scan of course.

    There's even a coffee mug stain on the upper left of the scan, which makes it even more dubious...

  • The more I look at it, the more fake it looks :)

    The word "COMPUTER" below the Commodore logo is set in the wrong font...

    The outline around C65 looks pretty cut-out... etc

    That’s a fake image. I know the author. You will find him on the webs and some may know his history, especially with forum64 :D


    some pretty obvious photoshop effects btw

    cheers

  • The ad is a hoax / joke / fake from Hessi, former f64 member.

    Sorry, just saw it was clear already
