In style with NES Classic and SNES Classic, now comes the C64 in similar style - small package with a couple of controllers and HDMI. Keyboard support to write Basic. A handful of built-in games.
I guess it's basically the same inside too, some half-decent ARM A-line cpu running some emulator. I can see the appeal, although I know myself and it will be fun for a good few 10 minutes, then collect dust (not to be pessimistic or so, I just know myself :)).

- unwind 9y agoI think it looks very much like a Zipstik (http://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2016/03/zipstik-joystick-repair.html http://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2016/03/zipstik-joystick...). The TAC-2 is smaller and a much simpler shape, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAC-2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAC-2.
- unwiredben 9y agoIt's a clone of the Competition Pro, the same design was used for the earlier Commodore DTV See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kempston_Micro_Electronics#Competition_Pro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kempston_Micro_Electronics#Com... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C64_Direct-to-TV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C64_Direct-to-TV
