The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the best-selling desktop computer model of all time, with independent estimates placing the number sold between 12.5 and 17 million units.
- Volume production started in early 1982, marketing in August for US$595.
- Preceded by the VIC-20 and Commodore PET, the C64 took its name from its 64 kibibytes of RAM.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Commodore 64 article was read about 400,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Commodore 64
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
