The 4-Bit Wonder.
Feel free to ask any questions! Including a massive assortment of classic SID Arp sounds with extensive round-robin, Basses, Leads, Oscillators from each Chipset, Pads and Plucked sounds. We will admit we are not as knowledgeable of Commodore products as we are Atari, but we are learning. We Ultra Deep-Sampled™ three different SID chips over two generations of chipsets from the SID Station and the MOS Sammich, which contains newer generations (less noisy) variations of the infamous chipset. The Commodore 64 was the primary choice for gamers in the early 80s. If it helps, MacRorie learned how to program Social Science algorithms in college on a C64. So, The Brewing Academy is branching into Commodore Products! His professor had an SX-64 and it has fueled a 30 year fever for an SX-64 (he now owns 4-6)!

I know the original Commodore joysticks were mostly bad, but this one feels like it's going to dissolve by just looking at it the wrong way. I know I can plug other USB gamepads and joysticks, but this one has some needed buttons (for calling the virtual keyboard, going back to the menu, etc) so I don't know how using another pad or stick is going to end up working. The games work great, they load fast and look and sound about 98/99% like you remember.

I don't give it 5 stars only because the joystick is very bad and it feels like it's going to break in a matter of days. If the makers are reading, and are planning on a revision, here's my suggestions:-Add at least one more USB to it. I know I said that you don't technically need a keyboard, but that's with the original game selection, if you add more games to it, then some of the good ones really need that keyboard to play. First of all, this little console looks great, it's so cute, you'll want to cuddle it after you open the box.

Also the game selection is not very good, I know you can technically load any C64 using a USB memory stick, but they you'd use one of the USBs for that, and that'd only leave one free for plugging the joystick and/or keyboard. The keyboard of course is non functional, and that's OK, you have a virtual keyboard and can also plug a USB keyboard and type away.

I know you probably can't get all the good games people are expecting, so I don't mind about the game selection, but those 2 things would make it just perfect for what it needs to be. -Include a better joystick. You can plug a USB HUB and get more slots, but not every HUB works and it's honestly a mess.

Most of the games included don't need a keyboard or only use it for name input or something simple like that, so don't worry too much about it. I still recommend it though, it's a really fun little thing to have. So, it's good for a little nostalgia jolt, I really like it and I know I'm going to be playing California Games with my (old) friends.

But expect a few compromises and to do a little bit of work if you want to get something closer to the real experience.
