The show would start in the 1980s, following Jack Tramiel, engineers, rivals, and the drama of the personal computer wars. Each season could cover a few years, with IBM, Apple, Microsoft, and Atari all showing up as real competitors.
Here’s the twist: whenever Commodore in the show launches a new computer in its alternate timeline, the real Commodore in 2025+ would actually release that same machine in real life. The fictional product launches and the real-world launches would line up, blurring the lines between story and reality.
It’d be both entertainment and branding — letting fans get emotionally invested in Commodore’s saga while also making the company’s real machines feel like artifacts from another timeline.
