No AC adapter in the box
… although doing so is a faff
Cramp-inducing joystick lacks precision
Many games are brutally unforgiving

While a great deal of care and attention to detail has gone into the creation of the C64 Mini, we can't help but consider the retro console as something of a missed opportunity for fans. On the one hand, it's cool that you can load up BASIC and use the C6...

Whether you'll find The C64 Mini to be right up your strasse or not entirely depends on how fondly you remember the original and how much you're willing to spend on a handful of essential classic games and many you might not be as familiar with.There's no...

For some people, the C64 Mini will be nothing more than a shrunken facsimile of a relic, and nothing will make them engage with ancient games, beyond the briefest bout of curiosity. And yet because so many modern mobile titles visually echo their C64 ance...

Abstract: Without wanting to reheat old playground arguments, I had a ZX Spectrum, my school had BBC Micros, but everyone was secretly a bit jealous of the kids who had a Commodore 64. Not, of course, that we'd tell them that at the time. But the use of sprites, th...
Gorgeous recreation of the original Commodore, ROMs are optimized to load fast and run reliably, Supports loading your own ROMs
Pretty terrible joystick

Clearly put together with love, Hardware itself looks nice, Easy way to play old games for novices unwilling to learn emulation
Joystick is bad, Game selection is pretty bad, Adding more games is difficult but still necessary
Here's the rub: This thing exists not because there's a lot of demand for it but because Nintendo started a trend.Nostalgia is a great filter, because your brain dumps the bad stuff and leaves you with warm, fuzzy, incorrect records of what happened. What...

Great idea, Well executed, Good build, A retro games console for the ‘uninitiated.', Games selection is OK, not great, Quick, almost instant turn on to play,
Pity the joystick is so true to 80's life, hard to add games and fanatics will want to do so
Abstract: In the mid-80s, while the American video game market was oversaturated and dieing, folks in Australia and Europe were enjoying a golden age of microcomputers, led by the awesome Commodore 64.An 8-bit machine with bold colourful graphics and synthesiser...
