Koch Media Commodore 64 Mini C64

A great little unit, with the official firmware update it allows you to play other C64 roms.

Me ha llevado a mi y a mi esposa al nuestra infancia.

Its a piece of nostalgia with all the classic collection to go with. Highly recommended.

Schönes kleines Gerät. Schöne Spiele, die ich auch damals schon hatte. Besonders gut finde ich, daß man Spiele aus dem Internet herunter laden kann und mittels USB Stick auf den Mini C64 übertragen kann und somit eine fast unendliche Auswahl an Spielen hat. Und wenn mal ein Spiel auf dem kleinen nicht funktioniert, habe ich immernoch den Großen von damals.

Really cool little gadget. It comes with some pretty cool games. But it also supports loading .tap (tape) .d64/d81 (disk images) and .crt (cartridge images) for thousands of games you can find online. Though for some games you will need to read the manual on how to create .cjm files which lets you customize the emulation to make the games work (though most games don't require this). By the way, the manual is excellent. Let me just get one of the bad things out of the way. The joystick as other reviews have said is as cheap as it gets. Really not conducive to accurate control but it's enough to scratch the itch and experience the c64 at least. So to really effectively use this device I would recommend upgrading the joystick right away. If you're not sure, this is my setup that I'm pretty happy with: - A mini USB hub. (2 ports provided are not enough) So a hub with 4 ports should work. - Logitech G F710 Wireless Gamepad, this controller is wireless and its supported by the C64-mini. It's a quality controller which also works with the PC. So it's versatile. - a USB thumb drive. An inexpensive USB thumb-drive should work so that you can transfer the games you download with your computer to the C64-mini. - and a regular USB keyboard. Even though a virtual keyboard is provided, and accessible through the Start button on your controller/joystick. Having an actual physical keyboard is a notable quality of life improvement. One thing I did not realize before getting the C64-Mini is how vibrant the C64 community is. There are new games being released all the time and there is a huge community of C64 enthusiasts. This little machine has sent me back to my childhood and let me relive some of the coolest gaming moments of my youth. Furthermore it has intrigued my 10 year old nephew, who I didn't expect would love these 8-bit games as much as he does. I highly recommend this to anyone either looking to experience the early days of home computer entertainment, or those looking for a retro gaming experience that won't break the bank. If retro games are your thing, C64 has thousands of games.
