Fast Shipping, Great Quality

I've been waiting to purchase this for awhile and it did not disappoint. Fast shipping and good quality.

Heaps of the Retro gaming entertainment and great value.

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.

A "Mini" Of A Different Color

It's neither a car (not even a Cooper) nor a skirt but a classic home computer console that is the Commodore 64 counterpart of the NES Classic Edition. Unless you update the firmware you cannot really do much with it beyond the "Carrousel Mode.". However, once you update the firmware, you still need to plug in a separate keyboard into it but otherwise it behaves exactly like The C64 "Maxi."

Improves 100X once you READ THE MANUAL, use a USB keyboard, + a thumb drive

Really this device is an incredibly nice emulation device, and a lot of that is due to the excellent joystick. I prefer TheVIC20, since I have a full size keyboard on that one, but this is a nice portable alternative. The only issue is that I'm not an action joystick gamer, I prefer adventure, strategy type keyboard-heavy or hybrid keyboard titles.FLAG USE(!):The thing is, I've been using emulators for decades and I just assumed some multi-disk or other odd games wouldn't work with this device - old D64 titles that I tried and gave up on. Then I read the manual. While particularly important for the VIC20 due to memory options, you need to use flag codes on some C64 files too. It's an easy, one time process. Just rename some files with an underbar and the flags in any order at the end before .D64 or .TAP so they utilize the correct emulator settings. This was very helpful. And even just learning how to swap multi-disk files. The manual is easy to follow and key. I suggest printing out a few of the best bits.If you're like me you can't stand Summer Games - AKA the "joystick buster" and just want some time with Infocom's The Lurking Horror. Or some hybrid joystick action with Below the Root. Happy gaming!
