MPS 1270 Inkjet Printer
The Commodore MPS 1270 inkjet printer worked through a typical Centronics printer interface (upper right). This also allowed this device to work with a conventional PC via a standard 25-pin parallel port.

Expansion Module: Action Replay MK VI
By the end of the 1980s, more and more cartridges became available for the Commodore 64. This particular cartridge, the Action Replay MK VI, was aimed at hard-core gamers, who might want to save games in progress, or turn off particular sprites within some games.

Diskette Notcher/Punch
Anybody who remembers the C64 will recognize this tool. A disk notcher enabled users to turn single-sided 5.25" floppies into double-sided "flippies" that could store files on both sides of the media.
Diskette Notches
You didn't really need a special-purpose diskette notcher to do this job. A regular pair of scissors would also suffice.
Original Commodore C64 User Manual (In German)
For the vast majority of Commodore C64 owners this manual didn't provide anywhere near enough information. Though the original book included fundamentals of BASIC programming and some device information, it was too sketchy to do users a whole lot of good.
The Graphical Environment Operating System (GEOS)
Way ahead of its time: at the end of 1986, every Commodore C64C shipped with a copy of version 1.2 of the graphical operating system GEOS. Its user interface included applications such as GeoWrite (for text processing) and GeoPaint (for graphics and image editing), that looked and worked much like similar Macintosh programs of the day.
