The choice of games included does not sell it to me. Where is Spy vs Spy?

Damn I was so jealous looking at the C64 wall at the big Electronics store I used to go to called Service Merchandise in Detroit. I could only afford a NES a few years later after release with my paper route money.

C64 Emulators are soooooo easy to come by on a PC or even an android phone. I play Drol, summer games, karateka, raid over Moscow, Pogo Joe, impossible mission, BC quest for tires, jump man, park patrol, the list goes on and on.... All from my PC and Samsung note 12.2 tablet with a generic Bluetooth game pad. Not to mention all of the MAME arcade games, NES, SNES, Gameboy Advanced, Commodore Amiga, PS, PS2, N64 etc.... Literally 1000s of games at my fingertips.

ROMs are easy to come by if you know how to search for stuff on Google.

Those games don’t sell me on it. I’d rather purchase a multi cart and just play on original hardware.

Keyboard on this doesn't work. I know the thing overall is tiny, and so would the keyboard be. But it is merely there for looks. The screenshot shows the classic
10print "hello"
20 goto10

But how does this get entered, unless you run it from a disk rom.

Sad, would be cool if it was real.

Note: The keyboard keys are non-functional
USB power lead * Packaging does not include AC Adapter
add a second joystick for 2-player games

and it isn't even a real Commodore joystick

What bluetooth gamepad do you use? I have tried several, but none are easy enough to configure and use with C64 emulators.....

$80? That's a little salty. I think I'd just hit up Goodwill and try to find an original for, like, what, a dollar?

Can you still get on Q-Link with this (bonus points if anyone remembers Commodore's Q-Link message board).

This would be way cooler if it came in a clamshell format with built-in controller, like the GPD machines. But then it would probably cost a lot more. My guess is that this thing is really a Raspberry Pi inside the case.
