It’s 1982 and a new home computer graces the scene. Out goes the silent black and white experience and in with 64KB of RAM, colour graphics, and synthesizer sound.
Roll forward 35 years and kick nostalgia into overdrive with the release of THEC64 MINI. A tiny but perfectly formed 50% scale replica of this much loved machine.
Featuring high-definition output via HDMI, a classic style joystick and 64 built-in games including classics like Uridium, Paradroid, Hawkeye, Nebulus and Monty Mole.

“Accurate representation” + “has no keyboard” = lies.

I need me some Turrican. It ain't here.

[ParanoiaDragon]

I'm really leaning on getting it.

I love all these little replica thingies...

But, I haven't purchased any yet.

I still would like

NES
SNES
C64

and... if I am very lucky...

I would love a MINI GBA SP...

f*ck YES I WANT MY mini gba sp NOW.

Pack-ins include Luigi-branded mustache tweezers (to assist operating device) and a bottle of oxycodone prescribed to Ms. Princess Peach.

It will happen...


...one day.

It's kinda called the Game Boy Micro, no?

The MiniMicro would be absurdly too small, whilst MiniSP would simply be ridiculously too small.

I don't want to be absurd. WHAT KIND OF HEATHEN do you take me for?



I take this distinction very seriously. I have my standards, after all.

That's not the C64 joystick I remember.

[Arkhan]

So, it's like the other C64 mini DTV thing, or the other Commodore relaunch ?   lol.

That's not the C64 joystick I remember.

That joystick existed, and it sucked.   Almost every C64 joystick sucked.

Tac2 or Wico Ball or GTFO.

This is the only kind of mini system I'm potentially interested in. If the price is right, I'd buy similar user friendly emulated MSX and X69k boxes. But it still needs to be able to play all game images/files or have a hack that does.

They had a full fledged MSX thing called a OneChip that does all that basically

its just $*(430593405634056ff*ckINGEXPENSIVE$$$$$$$$$$.$$

[TR0N]

Meh it's lacking the last ninja,still interesting piece of kit.

[Lost Monkey]

After thinking about it, I will probably buy one of these... I really only ever used these at school. I bought one in the early 90's and (along with the Atari 800, XE and Amiga) didn't like the bulkiness and set up requirements... 

No indication if you will be able to save programs to USB stick - it says 'save game function', but I would assume this means high scores and shit. - "Accurate C64 operation" - wouldn't this mean you could type in a program and save it to disk?

[SignOfZeta]

"Accurate opperation" to me would require a keyboard in some way. If you can't print your name scrolling across the screen then what good is it? Its not just a game machine, its better at being a educational tool for BASIC really.

I heard that thing sucked.
