Key Developments & Data
Commodore unveils a Cyberpunk 2077 special edition Commodore 77 terminal.
The system swaps the standard FPGA for an AMD Artix-7 XC7A100T chip with twice the logic and block RAM.
Preorders opened today at $377, with hardware shipments slated for early 2027.
The machine includes a custom 2MB demo cartridge and runs Commodore 77 BASIC 2.0.
"For us both, this has been a collaboration where art imitates life, and in turn, life for the denizens of Night City now imitates that art." — Peri Fractic
Nobody buying an FPGA retro computer actually needs 77 MHz speeds, but collectors will still pay the massive premium for brushed metal and lore books they'll never look at.
