Reminds me of happy Commodore 64 childhood memories ❤️

That's the first computer I grew up on. Taught me English as well, mainly through adventure games like Space quest & King's quest.

Glad I got to grow up with that, I don't really envy young people in that regard.

That external hard drive had a whopping 20 megabytes of storage. I can still remember the sound or it spinning up..

That’s not cassette futurism. That’s just cassette.

Cassette Futurism is just name of genre like Steampunk, Cyberpunk or Dieselpunk

Commodore Amiga 500
...
Fully compatible with Amiga 500

I wonder what they meant

Possibly they meant the separately purchased monitor was compatible with base unit.

Likely this. Some monitors that would work on the Ami wouldn't work in all it's modes. This did. I had the 1084S which added stereo speakers I think.

Was there a non-Commordore version?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 hours ago

There were a lot of non-Commodore monitors marketed alongside the Amiga. This isn't one of them.
