I have to admit that 2018's TheC64 Mini brought about as much disappointment as well as excitement to me when it got released. Despite Retro Games bringing back an iconic piece of tech from yesteryear, it lacked the full performance of what was needed. With an unusable keyboard to the standard joystick, I felt it could have been done so much better. In all honesty, I think they knew it too. Come 2019, they listened. And they certainly delivered. A re-release with a full sized replica keyboard with 4 (Yes 4) USB slots, a newly updated joystick with micro-switches, the ability to switch between three modes (C64, VIC-20 or their updated Carousel mode) and of course the continued support to load additional roms if you happen to own them. As fast as i ordered this from Zavvi, was as fast as i received it! (Thanks for that Zavvi). It is near perfect. It would have been nice to get a full sized manual, better selection of games and even possibly a VIC-20 Carousel mode since the mode is there. The C64 Maxi is what the Mini should have been. And if you love a trip through the 80's nostalgia, this is one trip you won't regret.
