In 2018 we got the Mini C64 which although allowed you to plug in a keyboard was more of a mini-console than a proper replica. This has been rectified with the release of
The C64 - a full-sized replica of the classic
Commodore 64. Which is still the highest-selling computer of all time.
And it's great!
This is something that is immediately felt during the all-important and genuinely fun unboxing side of the installation. We use that term loosely as ‘installing’ is as simple as connecting The C64 up to a modern-day HDTV via HDMI cable and USB/AC power source. First thing, being a replica means that you get the full-sized keyboard build of classic C64 hardware – in a durable shell that has the sort of old-school beige that captures the feel of the 1980s computer. The quality of the keys may not be on-par with modern keyboard tech, but the result is tactile and responsive, and firing up The C64 for the first time you even get the option to load-into BASIC or what’s dubbed Carousel Mode.
