Commodore's 8-bit Max Machine

The micro US gamers knew as the Ultimax and German gamers as the VC-10 was introduced to Japan as the Commodore MAX Machine. This Japanese, mainly cartridge based 8-bit micro is nowadays considered quite the rarity (even more so outside Japan) and you can bid on it via this Commodore MAX eBay auction. It's an apparently complete, boxed micro that even comes with an Avengers cartridge.

Seller ships only within the European Union.

The Commodore Max Machine

Time for another discovery by Blake of ByteCellar; time for a Commodore Max Machine auction! It's Commodore's least known 8-bit micro, a Japan-only release, a proper rarity and a shiny, tiny machine, that you can now get boxed, in full working condition and complete with three games. Seller ships to the United States, Europe, most of Asia, Canada and Australia.

As for the Max Machine, well, it was a failed attempt at producing a stripped down and much cheaper Commodore 64 that would primarily load its games from a cartridge, what with it shipping with a ridiculously low amount of RAM. Also, the micro came with a much cheaper keyboard, but did sport the SID chip.
