C64 Forever Plus Edition (2009)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the C64 was launched in 1982 it immediately set the standard for 8-bit home computers. Its low cost, superior graphics, high quality sound and a
massive 64 KB of RAM positioned it as the winner in the home computer wars,knocking out competitors from the likes of Atari, Texas Instruments,
Sinclair, Apple and IBM.
Selling over 30 million units and introducing a whole generation to computers and programming, the C64 shook up the video games industry and
sparked cultural phenomena such as computer music and the demoscene. In recent years the C64 has enjoyed a spectacular revival manifesting itself
once again as a retrocomputing platform.
To allow you to experience and relive the wonders of this unique computer, Cloanto, developers of Commodore/Amiga software since the 1980s, has
introduced C64 Forever, a revolutionary preservation, emulation and support package. C64 Forever embodies an intuitive player interface, backed by a
built-in database containing more than 5,000 C64 game entries, and advanced support for the new RP2 format, dubbed the "MP3 of retrogaming".

Top Benefits:
~~~~~~~~~
C64 Forever shares the same RetroPlatform family player, database and content management components as the very successful Amiga Forever series. As such, it also embodies more than 12 years of experience and refinements and a tradition of innovation and long-term continuity and support.
Compared to other solutions for different systems, C64 Forever stands out for features which include the following:
* Smooth setup: it takes only a few mouse clicks to install and run (no additional downloads required)
* Intuitive, simple and refined user interface, in which player, content, database and search are seamlessly integrated (not a "front end" that launches an external emulator)
* Built-in RetroPlatform Library database featuring thousands of titles, with online updates
* As some projects kept adding options year after year, C64 Forever strived to keep options to a minimum, as RetroPlatform components take sophisticated decisions behind the scenes
* If you know how to use Amiga Forever you are instantly familiar with C64 Forever, and vice versa
* Support for revolutionary RP2 format (one click to play, one file per title, no need to zip or unzip games or manage multiple disk images, etc.)
* Support and recognition of other popular disk, tape, cartridge and save state formats, with options to identify uncataloged similar variants (not a simple "checksum" approach)
* Built-in search-as-you-type for installed content and custom one-click internet search for games and demoscene productions
* Tested on Windows 7 (both x86 and x64)
