Anyone getting THEC64 Mini??

[StevieP]

Just come across this and couldn't see a thread already!

Is anyone getting one??

There seems to be a good range of games and I'm sure I read somewhere that other games can be added after purchase(??)

Very tempted just for the nostalgia (and so the kids can have a laugh at what passed for games while I was growing up!)

So did anyone ultimately grab one of these?

I did and I have to say I'm loving it! The joystick is a bit pants but I've also bought a USB SNES pad that works a treat and is loads better to use!

Gamers these days don't know hard until they experience a game where when you lose your 3 lives, you go back to the start of the game!

C64, bah u lot, should be a spectrum that was the better one bar the better gfx lol.

Tho I knew a few ppl who had one they were like a in-between of the spectrum and Amiga.

Had a few good games I guess I just happen to be a spectrum user and not c64 user.

Boo! Hiss!!

To be fair half my mates growing up had the C64 and the other half had the Spectrum so we had the best of both worlds......then the same with the Amiga and Atari ST.....and so on!

I'm loving my C64 Mini - got myself a useable joypad and have been experimenting with various other games bit find myself going back to Mission Impossible, Paradroid and Nebulus!

My joystick snapped today after light use. Joystick was poor but wasn’t expected expecting it to break so soon

The joystick is the biggest letdown imo - which is why I've bought myself a USB Buffalo SNES pad and it works a treat!

The only problem now is there are literally too many games out there to try!
