Not everyone knows that the best-selling computer of all time was not a Mac or a PC, but the legendary Commodore 64 that conquered the world in the 80s in a way never seen again.
The success of the Commodore 64 was the price, its easy system and, above all, the numerous video games.
While a vintage version of the Commdore 64, the C64 Mini (which costs around 60 Euros on Amazon), is coming out this year, the Internet Archive has added (to its section dedicated to emulators of historical computers and old systems) also the ' online emulator of the Commodore 64 to its library of historical software, thus making available to all the nostalgic many of the game titles that were great hits of the time.
The online game catalog for Commodore 64 features a treasure trove of classic games, such as Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac-Man and Space Invaders.

To open the Commodore 64 emulator, just choose one of the games on the page on Archive.org, without downloading anything.
The games start immediately and can also be opened in full screen
Among the other games we also have some of the best like: Airborne Ranger, The Last Ninja, Bubble Bobble, Castle Wolfenstein, Zak McKraken, Altered Beast, Maniac Mansion, Giana Sisters, Burger Time, The Bard's Tale, Sim City, Ghosts'n Goblins, Decathlon, Karateka, Boulder Dash.
You can browse the selection and filter the games by views, to find the most popular ones, or in alphabetical order.
Games can also be found based on the year of release, even if it is not suitable for everyone.
The game collection of the Commodore 64 includes around 9000 titles.
To play, you can use the keyboard or even a connected Joypad .
The use of the joypad is certainly better, since most of the games of the C-64 used the joystick with a single button.
If you are using the keyboard, the main keys are on the numeric keypad, with the 0 being used as the main button and the up, down, left and right keys to move (not very comfortable).
You can also remap the keys and choose them different, although this will have to be done every time you load a game because (at the moment) I don't think there is a way to save them.
The F12 key is used to display the emulator settings menu, the up and down arrows to highlight the settings and the right arrow to select it.
In the Machine Settings of the Joystick it is possible to define the keyset.
Go back from the menu using the left arrow key, highlight and select "Joystick 1" and then select "keyboard 1."
Press Esc to exit the settings menu and you are ready to play.
The same thing can also be done for the Joypad.
