Product ReviewsRetro Games The C64 Mini Console Videogames Deep Silver - RGL001

Fun device, better with firmware update.

The games on board are quite average, but the new firmware update allows for easy loading of games from USB. It's a niche emulation device, and a DIY solution would work just as well or better. At $35, this is easily a 4-5 star item, but at the launch price, a Raspberry PI 3 becomes a more attractive option. Great for collectors, and it looks awesome. Keyboard keys don't work, and no composite video/analog audio. USB-micro power (not included). HDMI video only. I haven't tested DVI, VGA, display port, or other adapters, but will update if I attempt to use it on a CRT. Cloanto has been around for a while and currently sell Amiga Forever, and C64 forever.Read full review...

A faithful representation with a few well-known games but with a really bad joystick.

This is an excellent representation of the revered Commodore 64. However, to get the most out of it you're going to want to do the firmware update so that you can run all the games available from a flash drive. There are several in the current firmware that I really like, but not many I've heard of.

That said, the joystick is a huge disappointment. It uses an old membrane style that really feels too rigid and even breakable. It's also very uncomfortable to hold.

However, combine it with a USB keyboard and you essentially have your old Commodore 64 back. Just...know you're not going to be able to connect your old 1541 disk drive or MPS 801 printer or anything.Read full review...

Great C64 Mini

I love the C64 Mini. I also got the C64 Maxi. You can play more games with a USB flash drive after doing the firmware upgrade. SNES style USB gamepads work great. Use a USB hub to attach two gamepads, keyboard, and flash drive. Some games (non built in games) use joyport 1 instead of joyport 2 so a second gamepad is a must or you need to add an extension to the file name (explained in the PDF manual online).Read full review...

It's nice it needed blue max in it to make it better which it doesn't have.

It is a good replica but in needed Blue Max as one of it games to make it better which it doesn't have.

8-bit fun!

There's lots of fun to be had here. Especially if you upgrade the firmware to the newest version and add a usb hub and keyboard.
