The Commodore 116 was a computer released as the cheapest Commodore computer ever released, and to contend with the Sinclair Spectrum.

Description[]

The Commodore 116 was inspired by both the Commodore 16 and the ZX Spectrum made by Sinclair, which was dominating the personal computer market in the UK. As a result, the Commodore 116 was designed with a minimalist approach. It used a 1.76MHz MOS 7501 CPU and had 16K of RAM. It features a small rubber keyboard just like the Spectrum, in order to keep the cost as low as possible.

Despite being rather cheap for a Computer of the day, the commodore 116 saw very little success and was discontinued within a year of its release.
