I don't think I would have paid the original $80. For the $44 it is a fun buy. I have 2 real c64, while those are great. It's nice to be able to just plug this in to new technology.

it's great, the games load fast and everything just works
First of all, this little console looks great, it's so cute, you'll want to cuddle it after you open the box.The keyboard of course is non functional, and that's OK, you have a virtual keyboard and can also plug a USB keyboard and type away. Most of the games included don't need a keyboard or only use it for name input or something simple like that, so don't worry too much about it.The games work great, they load fast and look and sound about 98/99% like you remember.I don't give it 5 stars only because the joystick is very bad and it feels like it's going to break in a matter of days. I know the original Commodore joysticks were mostly bad, but this one feels like it's going to dissolve by just looking at it the wrong way.I know I can plug other USB gamepads and joysticks, but this one has some needed buttons (for calling the virtual keyboard, going back to the menu, etc) so I don't know how using another pad or stick is going to end up working.Also the game selection is not very good, I know you can technically load any C64 using a USB memory stick, but they you'd use one of the USBs for that, and that'd only leave one free for plugging the joystick and/or keyboard.You can plug a USB HUB and get more slots, but not every HUB works and it's honestly a mess.I know I said that you don't technically need a keyboard, but that's with the original game selection, if you add more games to it, then some of the good ones really need that keyboard to play.So, it's good for a little nostalgia jolt, I really like it and I know I'm going to be playing California Games with my (old) friends.But expect a few compromises and to do a little bit of work if you want to get something closer to the real experience.I still recommend it though, it's a really fun little thing to have.If the makers are reading, and are planning on a revision, here's my suggestions:-Add at least one more USB to it.-Include a better joystick.I know you probably can't get all the good games people are expecting, so I don't mind about the game selection, but those 2 things would make it just perfect for what it needs to be.

Tried to pull a fast one. Scam. Con job. Whatever you want to call it.

Total con. Advertised the PAL import version of the c64 Mini, even has a nice sticker labeling it on the repackage, but it's actually the (cheaper, off the shelf) US NTSC version. It's a retro console for a computer 37 years old, which I have been using for 37 years, and the moment I opened the box I knew I was duped. Shame.
