Pitfall, paperboy, 1943... The classics that have been forgotten by time and antiquated formatting? Of course, you can emulate it, but it just isn't the same as those keys with the obnoxious clicking and the exceeding mass of the keyboard. It all makes the experience of modern gaming seem so-- futuristic!
The commodore 64 was the kingpin in it's time. It assaulted technicolor television with a relentless pixelization and cruddy music that sounded like bags of sand being dropped on a whoopy cushion. Who wouldn't want it back, though. In the end it was the machine that, in a lot of ways, gave birth the gaming in the living room instead of watching TV.
My brother told me to take a look at this, and as I read it I thought it was a joke, but then realized it wasn't once I got the the system specs...
This isn't your Daddy's old commodore 64 that you got when he went to the nursing home. We're talking about a Bluray option to the standard DVD drive, 4gb of DDR3 ram, 4 USB ports, and a 1.8ghz Dual Core CPU.
I don't know why anyone who understands what an honest day of work means would pay for this machine, I do understand why some his standing 60 year old dude who works for Microsoft would pay so much money for one of these neat little things ($595-$895 depending on the model).
Even while this machine can function as a typical PC, for the price, the hardware is nothing to write home about.
What you're paying for with this machine is a gimmick, but a pretty cool one!
