No the classic look is the best one 🙂 there was keyb + mITX case C64 looking case years ago. it could be fun idea too.

I'm so gutted I was quick to sell my c64c, 1541 disk drive, action replay nk6 & everything else after upgrading to the amiga in the early 90s. Few years after I did buy another c64c, 1541 & even an ar mk6 cartridge again second hand, still got it along with boxes of floppy discs with games on,, doubt they'd be readable now though after all this time.

I NEVER had a C64. I bought the Amiga when I made my own money part time working and I did emulate it on the Amiga. The breadbox C64 was awesome and would love to own a full size one with the 1541 floppy or two and the matching monitor. Too bad I am not made of money otherwise my dream man cave would be retro city. Would love one next to a C128D, next to my old Amiga 1000, 3000 and maybe a 4000! Good options to those who love old school computers and gaming!

power cartridge or final cartridge III not included 🙁

I don't suppose the TRS-80 will be remade? :P

Too bad they choose to make the older C64 instead of the C64C which is what I got when I first got my '2nd' computer after the Vic-20 die. By the time I got it, they no longer have the old C64 in stock anymore and since the shape of the old C64 is almost identical to the Vic-20, I was actually glad I got the C64C which feels like a 'new' computer compared to the older style C64. I too had sold my C64C back in the early 90s when I first learned about building a PC and end up building my first 386DX40 just so I can play Ultima VII. Ahh the good old days of gaming. Recently I have rebuild my retro computer collection and now I have a Vic-20, C128 and an Amiga 500 along with other vintage machines but I'm still shopping for a C64C locally to add it back to my collection.

I remember William Shatner hawking the Vic 20 on TV. Good times.

RetroPie. Cheaper, More Games and More Options.

I still have a Commodore 64 in the basement somewhere... there's an 80% chance I could get it fired up (have the RF adapter and a CRT that would accept that input, but the power supply will be the kicker here). The 1541 drive is gone (went out along with an Apple II that a bunch of mice shat in) though, and one thing I do remember is that if we wanted to play a game, you got what you typed in, and it only lasted as long as you left the device powered on (until we got that storage unit, RAM only). When I feel nostalgic and want to play VIC-20 or C64 or whatever, the online emulators do the trick without the hardware hassle, but there is something to be said for that, eh, 'Spartan' programming interface where you're interacting directly with memory space and working with some basic syntax. My eight year old associate is taking a "programming" class, and dragging pictures onto other pictures to make things move and set up conditions just isn't the same.

Didn't the C64c have the inferior version of the sid chip in it?

I bought Amiga Forever and C64 Forever which are two of the best emulations i have ever come across for all these old computers, love both of them, well worth the cash, plus C64 F supports all the older commodore stuff, Vic 20, C16, plus/4 and many more.
