==Commodore 64 Games System==
 
----
== Links ==
The '''Commodore 64 Games System''' (often abbreviated '''C64GS''') is the cartridge-based home video game console version of the popular Commodore 64 home computer. It was released in December 1990 by Commodore into a booming console market dominated by Nintendo and Sega. It was only released in Europe and was a considerable commercial failure. The C64GS came bundled with a cartridge containing four games: ''Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun'', ''International Soccer'', ''Flimbo's Quest'', and ''Klax''.

Commodore 64 Games System

[edit | edit source]

The Commodore 64 Games System (often abbreviated C64GS) is the cartridge-based home video game console version of the popular Commodore 64 home computer. It was released in December 1990 by Commodore into a booming console market dominated by Nintendo and Sega. It was only released in Europe and was a considerable commercial failure. The C64GS came bundled with a cartridge containing four games: Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun, International Soccer, Flimbo's Quest, and Klax.
