With this new Universe 64 Network Cartridge with Ethernet connection for the Commodore 64, you can for the first time immerse yourself in a completely new form of 8-bit gaming that has never existed before.

All you have to do is plug the cartridge into any Commodore 64 computer, insert an SD card, connect the network cable, and switch on the C64. Everything else happens automatically, just like you’re used to from modern game consoles.

When the C64 boots, the latest firmware, the latest OS64, and the newest programs and games are downloaded from the Universe 64 server and installed. You are then taken to the Universe 64 3D intro, and from there straight into the new OS64, which you can control with a mouse.

From there you can launch the latest games, interesting programs, and classic C64 games, which you can load using an SD card browser.

With the newly developed “PixShoot64” action 3D FPS shooter and other games, you can play with up to 16 other players over a LAN, at LAN parties, or over the internet, in game modes you know from Counter-Strike, Call of Duty and Battlefield (Capture the Flag, Search & Destroy, Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch). PixShoot64 is the world’s first networked 3D FPS shooter developed for the C64. You can run the matching game server on a Linux server or a Mac and configure it through a web interface.

On top of that, there is a game map editor (available for macOS/Linux/Windows) that lets you create new maps very easily yourself, for varied and fresh gameplay.

If you’re in the mood for something new and exciting, this new network cartridge for your C64 is just the thing :-)

The Universe 64 Network Cartridge has been tested with numerous Commodore 64 computers from 1982 to 1987, as well as with the new C64 Ultimate.

We recommend using 2 PDsids in the C64 to enable stereo positioning and get the best possible sound.

The board comes fully assembled (SD card not included).
