USB 5.25" floppy controller

Device Side Data's FC5025 USB 5.25" floppy controller plugs into any computer's USB port and enables you to attach a 5.25" floppy drive. Even if your computer has no built-in floppy controller, the FC5025 lets you read those old disks. And it's not just for IBM PC disks – it also understands formats used by Apple, Atari, Commodore and TI, among others.

C64 music software

C64 music with a guitar

Shredz64 is a modern day game for the Commodore 64 that makes use of the Playstation guitar controller hooked through the PSX64 interface. Its design is modeled against the popular “Guitar Hero” series, geared toward the ability to play along to your favorite C64 music on the guitar. Correctly played notes increase your score and applause meter, while incorrectly played notes decrease your applause meter. If the crowd stops applauding, you’re out! Additionally, Shredz64 features the “shredocity” meter that allows for extra points when you’re doing an awesome job shredding to your favorite chiptune. Watch Shredz64 in action or Download Now!

AmigaE

In 1991 Wouter van Oortmerssen started working on the friendly but powerful AmigaE language, he released the first version in 1993, and continued to improve it up till 1997, by which time it had become a very popular programming language for the Amiga. But during 1998 development stalled, and it was finally officially abandoned in 1999, partly due to the Amiga platform's own lack of development since Commodore went under.

Atari ST Games

I found Atari ST games today, which brought back a 1980s nostalgia for me:

Psygnosis (1988)
Vegas Gambler (1987)
Goldrunner II (1988)
Goldrunner II Scemergy Disk (1988)

So what does this have to do with Commodore? Psyclapse was the the name of a Commodore 64 game that was never released. The games was released on Atari ST, the goal being to escape from the castle where an evil villain had time warped warriors from the past.
