Suitable free resources include DOSBox or PCE Emulator.

Commodore 64 Emulator Program

On rare occasions, a C08 file might also reference a Commodore 64 program file. Commodore 64, popular in the 1980s, was one of the major home computer systems of its time.

To open these files, you would need to use a Commodore 64 Emulator such as VICE.
