The '''Commodore 65''' (also known as the '''C64DX''') is a [[prototype]] computer created at [[Commodore Business Machines]] in 1990–1991. It is an improved version of the [[Commodore 64]], and it was meant to be backwards-compatible with the older computer, while still providing a number of advanced features close to those of the [[Amiga]].
