I was down at the newsagents not long ago, wondering where the hell COMPUTE!64 had disappeared to (has it gone under?) when I notice one of the British computing game magazines had a feature on the 'Commodore GC' - a game console based on the 64. I was in a state of shock for the next 5 minutes,,, the historic CBM64 being offically declared a 'games machine' :-X I didn't buy this magazine ($9 for a 64 page mag -blerk!) but after a quick look, the GC looks like a gray (colour?) foolscap sized book, no keyboard or any ports except for the joysticks. The BASIC ROM is gone, with only a rudimentry Kernal OS. Commodore UK also mentioned 'mega-cartridges' - Games stored in up to 512k ROM, so GC owners wouldn't need a disk drive. I'd expect these to work on the 'TOS' & 'TNG' 64's Anyone in the know about this?
