RickR Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 A very comprehensive review from The 8-Bit Guy: What do you guys think? Justin and dgrubb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolinden Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I don't understand what the issue is with reproducing an old computer or console. Like, these mini plug and plays are cool, but I'd buy a new Commodore 64 or something like that in a heartbeat. An new retro style computer with a homebrew community would be cool. Selling games out of the basement and working to make games and all of that. RickR and dgrubb 2 Quote young Atari lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 The fact that they keyboard is non-functional tells me all I need to know about this thing. Still, the C64 is a really spendy machine to collect for. Finding a working C64 is pricey. Getting an SD card device is spendy. Adding in a modern power adapter is spendy. I have a pretty nice C64 collection, but I'd argue that it's almost better to run an PC emulator for C64 instead of buying the C64 mini.

GRay Defender Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 That was an impressive review, I agree. I too was disapointed regarding the fake keyboard. The lag is also a concern for me. I hope they improved the whole SD ROM loading process on the final version. I hope to do my own less comprehensive review soon.
