Expensive to buy through reseller but the product is great. Arrived on time, packaged well, unblemished original box, and worked as advertised without any manufacturer problems in the new unit. Raspberry Pi would be cheaper and VICE on a PC is more versatile but for a “ready to go for idiots like you” it’s really easy to use within its customized interface. Recommended for C64 kids old and younger.

Ever use a Commodore 64? This bugger brings back fine memories and teaches through figuring out and exploring. The keyboard is solid and has good markings. It will connect to video through the HDMI output, that transmits sound, as well as video. The old games are there, as well as a decent BASIC. Saving programs will happen on a memory card. Have fun!
