Introducing the Commodore 77: Where Cyberpunk Meets Retro Gaming

In a surprising twist, the iconic gaming brand Commodore has launched the Commodore 77, a special edition collaboration with the hit game Cyberpunk 2077. Priced at $377, this unique console blends nostalgia with modern technology, making it either a whimsical choice or a brilliant decision in the realm of gaming hardware.

The Commodore 77 builds on the success of the Commodore 64 Ultimate, which garnered a perfect score from IGN in 2025. This FPGA-powered device replicates original hardware functionality, ensuring compatibility with nearly all games from the past four decades. Enhanced with a faster processor, the 77 boasts speeds up to 77MHz, a significant upgrade from the original's 1 MHz.

Visually, the console is a vibrant nod to Cyberpunk 2077, featuring a weathered yellow body adorned with graffiti and multicolored LEDs. It even boots with a custom startup screen themed around a fictional company from the game. A standout feature is the included demo, "The Shard," crafted by the esteemed Polish demo group Arise, which offers an 8-bit audiovisual experience complemented by a chiptune soundtrack.
