I was at a Goodwill Store, in a locked cabinet I saw the words:
C64 ClassiX
on the edge of something inside the cabinet that looked like a CD Case.

I never heard of ClassiX before so when I got home I Searched about it
and read some if the Results of the Search and learned the Software was manufactured by a Company in Germany, to run Commodore 64 games on a
modern day computer.

I was going to ask here if anyone knew about the ClassiX software, but
decided to Search on DuckDuckGo first.

Does anyone have it, or know something about it?

I didn't ask what price the Store was asking for it the day I saw it,
and probably won't go back as ask about it since I still have a C=64
and enough Floppy Disks with Games on them if ever I wanted to play
any of them.

The last Game I have played was called Novastorm and it runs on a
Compatiable PC not a Commodore PC.
And that was a L-O-N-G T-I-M-E ago.

It's one of a number of UNLICENSED products that appeared, with this company also doing Amiga and Spectrum versions. It's a CD with approximately 3,000 games and 10,000 SID tunes downloaded from the Internet, with emulators and music players for Windows
and Amiga.

The content (especially the emulators) are now very out of date. It's not worth
very much. I got mine for about half what it originally sold for, and there are
better archives out there.

I agree.

For the OP, since he seems not really want the original, and all these
(also unlicensed) products often also have recent CPUs and run an
emulator for the C64, why not save the money and get an emulator. For the Commodore 64 there is VICE for example

But if you want hardware, grab a *real* C64 from Goodwill, EBay or where
ever they are offered instead.
