About this deal

1982.

We will admit we are not as knowledgeable of Commodore products as we are Atari, but we are learning. The Commodore 64 was the primary choice for gamers in the early 80s. The SID chip has several analog anomalies, which is why it still hasn't been fully emulated even today, including natural detuning, noise and imperfect clicks. The Commodore 64 is a highly unique machine and we had to cover every possible angle of sampling. This nicotine-colored plastic wonder created the foundation of gaming as we know it today and still stands as one of the most impactful devices ever made for games.

The 4-Bit Wonder.

I still recommend it though, it's a really fun little thing to have. -Include a better joystick. I know I said that you don't technically need a keyboard, but that's with the original game selection, if you add more games to it, then some of the good ones really need that keyboard to play. The keyboard of course is non functional, and that's OK, you have a virtual keyboard and can also plug a USB keyboard and type away.

But expect a few compromises and to do a little bit of work if you want to get something closer to the real experience. I know I can plug other USB gamepads and joysticks, but this one has some needed buttons (for calling the virtual keyboard, going back to the menu, etc) so I don't know how using another pad or stick is going to end up working. I know you probably can't get all the good games people are expecting, so I don't mind about the game selection, but those 2 things would make it just perfect for what it needs to be.

Also the game selection is not very good, I know you can technically load any C64 using a USB memory stick, but they you'd use one of the USBs for that, and that'd only leave one free for plugging the joystick and/or keyboard. I don't give it 5 stars only because the joystick is very bad and it feels like it's going to break in a matter of days. So, it's good for a little nostalgia jolt, I really like it and I know I'm going to be playing California Games with my (old) friends. Most of the games included don't need a keyboard or only use it for name input or something simple like that, so don't worry too much about it.
