Commodore 64-tan is the personification of the best-selling single personal computer model to date. Released in August 1982 at a price of $595USD, it took the market by storm and was sold by Commodore until its bankruptcy in 1994. Both a functional computer and video game system, the Commodore 64 remains popular with vintage video game enthusiasts, game emulators, musicians, and classic computer collectors. The Commodore 64 is also considered one of the most one of the most iconic symbols of the 1980's. | Commodore 64-tan is the personification of the best-selling single personal computer model to date.

=== | ===Character details=== | ||
Commodore 64-tan is depicted as a young and energetic girl with a physical age range of around 13 or 14 years old. She has purple eyes, long indigo hair, and two large bangs by her face. She wears the remnants of her Commodore sailor uniform, now stripped of all medals, formal regalia and headpiece, but still retaining the C=64 rainbow-colored collar. Unlike most vintage OS-tans, she adores maintaining herself with the latest trends, fads and gadgets, either regularly carries around some modern portable media device, or brands some pop-culture reference meant to keep her in step with today's youth (e.g, a Naruto-style headpiece etched with the original Commodore 64-logo). | |||
She is one of the few old-era OS-tans that still has market potential. The C64 Direct-to-TV, a video game system developed by Jeri Ellsworth, has sold well on QVC, whose offices are now in Commodore International's old headquarters. Ellsworth also developed the C-One, a single-board microcomputer initially created in 2002 as an enhanced Commodore 64 home computer, but has been reengineered to allow cloning of other 8-bit computers. Paralleling this, Commodore 64-tan is also an inventor (albeit in the antiquated sense) and self-proclaimed genius, and also build the android C-One-tan. | She is one of the few old-era OS-tans that still has market potential.
