Historical information

The Commodore Plus/4, was a home computer released in 1984 by Commodore International for the price of US$299.

The Plus/4 was intended to expand the home computer market by targeting users interested in serious applications rather than gaming. Commodore produced approximately 827,000 units worldwide, with a significant number sold in Germany. The Plus/4 was discontinued in 1985.
