I’ve been a big time Commodore 64 fan since my youth. The built-in game selection is not the best—there are only about 5 games worth playing, in my opinion—but the ability to download other game ROMS and play them from a USB stick more than makes up for that. For me, the BASIC editor is worth the price of admission alone. I learned to program on that old editor and the fun of once again writing even the most rudimentary programs in two-tone blues is off the charts. The one drawback is the interface joystick. In a word, it 'sucks'! I ordered a pair of USB gamepads that were recommended on a website and a powered USB hub. Everything works just great together. The button mapping on the gamepads is a little wonky and takes some getting used to, but they make gameplay on certain games much easier. I ended up re-wiring one of the controllers to make the button mapping more intuitive. Links for those items are below. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003M0NURK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N48L71I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you’re looking for some ‘out-of-the-box’ 8-bit gaming, I wouldn’t recommend it. As I said, there are only a few games worth playing. But if you’re looking to recreate some ‘80s nostalgia and are willing to put in a bit of work—and a few more bucks—to do so, by all means, pick one of these up. You won’t be disappointed. Read more

Very happy with product Read more

It has 64 classic games which can be expanded upon updating and adding your own games (if you had purchased earlier for the original version). Games are what you can expect from 8 bit generation , along with some surprises & disappointments depending on what one prefers or dislikes ! Read more

Schönes kleines Gerät. Schöne Spiele, die ich auch damals schon hatte. Besonders gut finde ich, daß man Spiele aus dem Internet herunter laden kann und mittels USB Stick auf den Mini C64 übertragen kann und somit eine fast unendliche Auswahl an Spielen hat. Und wenn mal ein Spiel auf dem kleinen nicht funktioniert, habe ich immernoch den Großen von damals. Read more

Really cool little gadget. It comes with some pretty cool games. But it also supports loading .tap (tape) .d64/d81 (disk images) and .crt (cartridge images) for thousands of games you can find online. Though for some games you will need to read the manual on how to create .cjm files which lets you customize the emulation to make the games work (though most games don't require this). By the way, the manual is excellent. Let me just get one of the bad things out of the way. The joystick as other reviews have said is as cheap as it gets. Really not conducive to accurate control but it's enough to scratch the itch and experience the c64 at least. So to really effectively use this device I would recommend upgrading the joystick right away. If you're not sure, this is my setup that I'm pretty happy with: - A mini USB hub. (2 ports provided are not enough) So a hub with 4 ports should work. - Logitech G F710 Wireless Gamepad, this controller is wireless and its supported by the C64-mini. It's a quality controller which also works with the PC. So it's versatile. - a USB thumb drive. An inexpensive USB thumb-drive should work so that you can transfer the games you download with your computer to the C64-mini. - and a regular USB keyboard. Even though a virtual keyboard is provided, and accessible through the Start button on your controller/joystick. Having an actual physical keyboard is a notable quality of life improvement. One thing I did not realize before getting the C64-Mini is how vibrant the C64 community is. There are new games being released all the time and there is a huge community of C64 enthusiasts. This little machine has sent me back to my childhood and let me relive some of the coolest gaming moments of my youth. Furthermore it has intrigued my 10 year old nephew, who I didn't expect would love these 8-bit games as much as he does. I highly recommend this to anyone either looking to experience the early days of home computer entertainment, or those looking for a retro gaming experience that won't break the bank. If retro games are your thing, C64 has thousands of games. Read more
