The Commodore 64 (also known as C64) has unparalleled heritage as a groundbreaking games and home-use personal computer. Since its launch in 1982, the C64s role in the evolution of the modern games industry was incredibly powerful and the echoes of its influence still reverberate through the industry today.
The C64 "Direct to TV" (DTV) unit includes 30 classic games, each of the games is in full colour and can be personalised. In addition, each game has multiple levels, and some of the games have multiple "events". The games are not just replicas of the originals - they actually are the originals.
The line-up of games includes Summer Games, Winter Games, Pitstop (I & II), Impossible Mission (I & II), Firelord, World Karate Champion, Speedball and many more. Unlike the original computer, you won't have to wait ages for the tape to load each game, they load up from memory almost instantly!
All this is built into a replica of the Competition Pro 5000 Joystick which plugs directly into a TV for instant fun at home or away!
No computer or additional software is required, simply add batteries, plug into the TV and youre up and running.
£ 29.99 (~43)
