In 1990, the C64 was repackaged in the form of a game console, called the [[Commodore 64 Games System|C64 Games System]] (C64GS), with most external connectivity removed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.retrogamingcollector.com/Vintage-Consoles/CommodoreC64GS.html|title=Commodore C64GS|quote=The Commodore 64 Games System, generally referred to as the C64GS is basically a Commodore 64 computer, with the keyboard and most other connectivity removed. You have the base unit, a cartridge port, two joystick ports, RF and Video outs... and that's your lot.|access-date=July 1, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201031742/http://retrogamingcollector.com/Vintage-Consoles/CommodoreC64GS.html|archive-date=December 1, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> A simple modification to the 64C's motherboard was made to allow cartridges to be inserted from above. A modified ROM replaced the BASIC interpreter with a boot screen to inform the user to insert a cartridge. Designed to compete with the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and Sega's [[Master System]], it suffered from very low sales compared to its rivals. It was another commercial failure for Commodore, and it was never released outside Europe. The Commodore game system lacked a keyboard, so any software that required a keyboard could not be used.
