No I haven't gone completely fruity, Yet.

What's the difference between this and the C64 mini?

Why don't you try reading the article he linked? perhaps the text within would contain the answers you seek?

This one has a working keyboard. Hopefully, they fixed the stick, the one packed with the mini is god awful

Yep stick was too tight and it wen't a little like **SNAP** Aww... shit I broke it.

I am very excited for this, if this has the potential that I think it has then oh my god this will be a dream for hackers and modders. most likely I will get one to hack and turn to a Linux pc or retroarch system, but also another thing that has me all up is the 2 included OS's C64 and vic 20 modes. if that thing is compatible with some hardware than this is a win win all around.

Did the C64 have many good exclusives? Most of the games I know also had DOS/Amiga versions which were graphically superior. Unless of course you like the weird blue-ish color scheme.

My first computer was a C64. Had a few cartridge games, a couple of games on tape, and a whole crapload of floppies. Good memories. The C64 will probably always be my favorite computer I ever owned.

for me it was the IBM AT system with Model M keyboard. would love to see that come back but a man can only wish haha

IBM wise, mine was the XT. I think the only thing I could really play on it was Starflight, and possibly Leisure Suit Larry?

I used to roll my eyes when my grandparents talked about the "old days". Now I'm feeling old, haha!

Thank you! Now I know what I'll be getting myself for Christmas.

If the game was originally developed for c64, for or any other system in general back in the '80s, the good change was that the game was considerably better on the original system. Back in the day, a good deal of ports were pretty bad, some even unplayable thanks to rushed development.

I am a ZX Spectrum child, never having experienced c64, so for this Christmas I'm excited for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Mini.

The64 is not a real c64 - its only an arm based emulation box.
You could just buy one of the new raspberry pi's instead.

If you want something not emulator based, then start saving your cash for a Mega65:

I like the look of the keyboard and its profile, but I couldn't find any info on the caps and switches but looking at the price I'm guessing cheap stuff?
