Retro Games Ltd, the force behind the popular “The” series of plug-and-play mini and full-size (maxi) computer consoles I’ve been covering since 2016, including TheC64 (Commodore 64 and VIC-20 computer platform Minis and Maxis), TheA500 Mini (Commodore Amiga), and The400 Mini (Atari 8-bit computers (my review)), is now releasing a maxi based on the wildly-popular-in-the-UK ZX Spectrum platform,…

Thoughts on The Atari 400 Mini

Back in January Retro Games, creators of TheC64 series of emulation consoles announced an Atari 8bit version that appears inspired in all the right ways and I like what I see so far. As the name suggests, The 400 Mini takes its design cues from the original Atari 400 but the guts of it will be able to play titles from the whole 8bit range including the 5200 console. Choosing the 400 seems like…

I picked up the C64 fullsize the other day. I have to say, I'm quite pleased with this little device. I've had a lot of fun playing with it. The ability to load your own games right from the get go is a nice selling point for sure. #collection #collector #collectors #collecting #retro #retrogame #retrogames #retrogaming #retrogamer #commadore64 #thec64 #thec64maxi #gaming #videogames #gamer #gamers #game #games #gamingcommunity #instagamer #instagaming #console #consoles #consolegame #consolegames #consolegaming (at Durango, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ-t5D6JHtS/?utm_medium=tumblr

howdy! do you have any advice for someone who wants to get into collecting Commodore stuff? i love things like that, but i don't know where to start. thanks for ur time!

It all depends what you’re looking for, and what you intend to do with it.

I got into it because of a mix of curiosity and intent to play video games.  I hardly bother with the latter, and spend most of my time tinkering, repairing, playing in BASIC, and seeing how things work.

I would recommend starting with a C64, 1541 drive, and a 1702 monitor -- the quintessential Commodore 64 setup.  However, there are so many variations thereof, that you can take it in whatever direction you like.  I have an 1802 monitor and a Magnevox equivalent of the 1902A instead.

Some people gravitate towards PET machines.  Some like the VIC-20, or the 128, or the Plus/4 line.  Then you have the Amiga enthusiasts (who usually have deeper pockets to keep pace).

Start small.  See if what parts of Commodore’s offerings you really enjoy.  It’s not for everyone, and many people prefer options like TheC64 and TheC64 Mini or emulators.  Real hardware comes with its fair share of drawbacks, but it can immerse you in the historical experience in ways that the modern emulated alternatives can never match.

If you have more specific questions, I’m happy to try to answer them.

Thoughts on Revive Machines new Atari 800XL

There’s been a lot of positive feedback from fans of Retrogames’ TheC64 and A500 Mini machines which had taken Commodore’s classic computers and brought them to a new generation wanting a taste of nostalgia. Having classic games available in a nostalgic, modern way was a big winner. While Atari fans have been blessed with plenty of peripherals to keep their old machines accessible, there’s not…

Schon wieder eine Neuauflage des Commodore 64? Im Dezember 2019 erscheint mit TheC64 der nächste Brotkasten – und ausnahmsweise mal nicht als Mini-Variante, sondern in originaler Größe.

Geht’s nach allerlei Herstellern, sollen wir uns noch mehr Retro-Hardware ins Wohnzimmer stellen. Unter anderem SEGA Mega Drive Mini, Capcom Home Arcade, Atari Mini Arcade oder PC Engine Core GrafX Mini erscheinen alleine dieses Jahr. Für 2019 ist auch TheC64 geplant, der wie eine Fortsetzung des TheC64 Mini klingt. Immerhin gibt’s ein paar Änderungen.

Das bietet der TheC64

Zwar ist der Platz vor dem Fernseher aufgrund der zahllosen Mini-Spielkonsolen ziemlich begrenzt, doch Retro Games Ltd plant bei TheC64 die originale Größe des ursprünglichen Brotkastens. Warum? Das lässt sich nicht so recht erklären. Vielleicht möchten die Verantwortlichen ja die hartgesottenen Fans begeistern? Die bekommen trotzdem „nur“ Hardware, die den Kultrechner der 1980er Jahre emuliert.

Interessant am TheC64 ist sicherlich auch, dass drei Modi vorgesehen sind. Wählt vor dem Start aus, ob ihr das echte C64 Basic, den VIC20-Basic-Startvorgäng oder das sogenannte Spiel-Karussell wünscht. Letztgenannte Variante gibt euch Zugriff auf die 64 vorinstallierten Spiele, die ihr in 50 oder 60 Hz und mit einem optionalen CRT-Filter erleben könnt. Gezockt wird mit einem verbesserten Micro-Switch-Classic-Joystick.

Neue und alte Spiele

Was auch schön am TheC64 ist: Die Tastatur ist voll funktionsfähig. An den vier USB-Ports könnt ihr mittels USB-Stick weitere C64-Spiele hinzufügen. Sollten euch Klassiker wie „California Games“, „Paradroid“ oder „Boulder Dash“ nicht genügen. Neu hinzugekommen sind übrigens Titel wie „Attack of the Mutant Camels“, „Hover Bovver“, „Iridis Alpha“ und „Gridrunner“. Und es gibt sogar komplett neu entwickelte Games, genauer „Galencia“ und das Text-Adventure „Planet of Death“.

TheC64 Fullsize ist also mehr als nur ein C64-Reboot, sondern kann auch den VIC20 abbilden und als vollwertiger Nostalgie-Rechner genutzt werden. Pünktlich zum Weihnachtsgeschäft am 5. Dezember kommt das gute Stück für unverbindliche 119,99 Euro in den Handel. Kein Schnäppchen, würde ich meinen. Vorbestellen könnt ihr den C64 bereits bei Amazon.

Und schon wieder ein neuer C64? Ja, aber TheC64 hat einiges zu bieten... Schon wieder eine Neuauflage des Commodore 64? Im Dezember 2019 erscheint mit TheC64 der nächste Brotkasten – und ausnahmsweise mal nicht als Mini-Variante, sondern in originaler Größe.
