Best Answer

The first Commodore 64 was released in January of 1982. The "64" comes from the fact that it had 64 kilobytes of RAM. This computer dominated the market for quite some time partly due to the fact that it was available at retail stores, not just electronic stores.

The Commodore 64 is the best-selling single personal computer model of all time.
