The menu options on this device are very user-friendly however the actual keypad is just for show. You can insert USB stick, and play more games than the original ones that came with the system.

This miniature re-creation brings the past back to life with an eclectic collection of Commodore 64 games from the classic era. The only drawback is that the joystick tries too hard to be like the products of the past and is somewhat less precise and solid compared what would be expected from modern hardware.

The Commodore 64 was my third computer (after the Pet and the Vic-20) and was by far my favorite. This mini version brought back lots of great memories, however they really need to include a better selection of games...preferably ones that were popular in the U.S. Of the included games once I enjoyed the most were Jumpman and Impossible Mission. Recent firmware upgrade also includes a great Galaga type game for free! Would love to see Space Taxi in the included collection of games!

Not a bad little systen to play or collect. Back then, commadore was one of the true pc based system that allowed gaming as secondary function. Ok games to play.

To get the most out of this get a keyboard, preferably a mini. The joystick will not be enough to enjoy

Clearly state of the art from the early 80's. Keyboard just for looks and is non-functional. USB keyboard needed if you need to type. Joystick not the best.

The form factor is neat, however not a fan of the controller.

The C64 was huge in EUROPE but a lot of companies used C64 products. This was the early days of Affordable home computing at the time. Before things became more standardized. Out of the box you will need to go to the companies web page that has a patch that improves compatibility with keyboards and controllers well as improves the menus and adds a lot of extra features like adding your own c64 games. So you will need and extra SD stick for side loading your own C64 roms.

Super cute little C64 reproduction. Works well and has lots of display options.

Good fun for a baby boomer and a little difficult for a millennial to get used to.

Some fun games on this system so for me it was worth picking up.

I knew the keyboard didn't work, and it was just cosmetic, but I had thought it was a basic PC that I could use for simple tasks. Really just a retro box. Better off with Raspberry Pi and cute case.

What an outstanding way to relive my childhood with this Commodore 64 mini Consol game unit. Great fun for everyone!

Great way to relive some of the great original arcade games.

Bought this looking forward to experiencing the Commodore 64 again, returned it the next day. The controller that’s included is terrible, the joystick is so stiff I could barely use it. The games have 0 manuals with them, just a place to go to their website on your phone to see them and some of these games are impossible to play without reading the manual. Overall I feel the game selection was poor, the controller was poor, and having the game manuals not easily accessible was poor. I read online that a few of the included games actually required a usb keyboard to play (which would explain the issues I had in some games) but it doesn’t say it anywhere on any of the game descriptions whether or not it requires a keyboard. Overall I was disappointed.

First off, no the keyboard doesn't work. I knew that going in to this purchase, and was fine with it. But, if you're looking to expand the game library like I was, you'll quickly find out how important a keyboard is for other downloaded ROMS. You'll also find out that this unit is a horrible emulator. I'd say after downloading almost 200 ROMS from various sources, and trying them out on this unit, only about 10% were responsive to the joystick. The ROM would load fine on my other emulators, but remained unresponsive on this unit. Oh, and be aware, with only 2 USB ports, if you want to have two players on two separate joysticks, you'll need to use a USB hub to play downloaded content, since all game expansion is done using a USB drive. If the included games were better, or the built-in emulator was more robust and could handle ROMS more efficiently, it would be a fun little unit. But it's not. Youll need to keep the online user manuals handy for most of the games, as their gameplay isn't easy to figure out. Plain a simple, we were bored after about 15 minutes of stuggling with the included library of games. The most commonly heard phrase in our group was, "What am I supposed to do?" as we tried to figure out the point of each poorly designed game.
