When Jack Tramiel invented Commodore in the ‘70s, he envisioned computing for the masses and not just the upper classes. Spearheading the personal tech revolution and combatting giants like Apple & IBM, Commodore became a household name by changing the way in which we interact, create and play with computers. From the advent of the groundbreaking Atari and Tetris games to the evolution of modern technological design, 8-Bit Generation dives into the home computer explosion, exploring Commodore’s key role in shaping the future in which we now live.
