Do you love big beige keyboards with clickity click buttons? Do you love the C64? Does your dog love digging a million holes in the backyard for you to break your legs in?

Well this article is for you!

Retro Games is making a FULL Sized Commodore 64! Not to be confused with the mini. Very slick and sexy looking!


"The C64 is back, this time full-sized with a working keyboard for the dedicated retro home-computer fan.

Featuring three switchable modes – C64, VIC 20, and Games Carousel.

Connect to any modern TV via HDMI for crisp 720p HD visuals, at 60 Hz or 50 Hz.

An updated joystick, now featuring micro switches, companions the hardware making the included games even more fun than ever.

The Games Carousel has 64 pre-installed games including classics such as California Games, Paradroid and Boulder Dash, with new additions like Attack of the Mutant Camels, Hover Bovver, Iridis Alpha, and Gridrunner.

Topped off with the recently released shoot ’em up Galencia and text adventure Planet of Death to let you relive the glory days of true keyboard gaming!
Plus, THEC64® allows you to load and save your own files and games via USB stick (including multi-disk titles) and program in C64 or VIC 20 BASIC."

Oh Heck Yea!
 
Pretty awesome. Might actually get this depending on the price.

If only the people who did the new Atari had paid attention to this and done something more similar to a Atari 800(although I like how they used that number for a version) and it's games I'd got that too.

edit: I saw someone on another thread mention how they'd like to see a Amiga version too. I admit I'd love that also.
 
I am intrigued for now. Going to wait and see how reviews turn out. I got started on a C64 so it would be fantastic to have a faithful modern remake.
