The Retro C64 Mini Console: A Complete Review

 The C64 Mini Console: 

 

Back in the golden age of the 1980s, the Commodore 64 was the big thing. As one of the pioneer machines to hit the gaming world, it was also one of the very first personal computers.


Today, several decades down the line, the classic retro C64 mini console is bringing back the good old days with a burst of nostalgia, while also taking the fun a notch higher. This unit is more or less everything that the Commodore 64 used to be, with an added few tweaks and to make it even more fun, stylish, and above all, worth every single penny.


Are you thinking of buying the retro C64 mini console? Below is a rundown of what you’ll be getting with this unit.


High Definition Output

The first thing bonus for this console is its included USB cable, as well as an included HDMI cable. These cables allow you to connect the unit to your output device with a high resolution of up to 720p. Sound too low? Keep in mind that when playing older games, if you take the definition too high, it will make the game look worse overall. The older games don’t run their best at a resolution of higher than 720p.


Top-Notch Graphics

Graphics are one aspect that a gamer just can’t afford to overlook, and that’s why this console has been fitted with virtually pixel-perfect graphics with a 4:3 ratio and full-width design. And that’s not all; it also boasts a CTR filter as well as display mode options for the US and Europe, the choice is yours!


Easy to Use

Gaming consoles are built to be easy to use, and this C64 mini console takes the whole concept of ease of use to a completely new level.


This unit comes with several buttons, eight in total. Among these is the power button on the right side, which you can use to power up your C64 Mini. Keep in mind that you’ll need to hold it down for a second to power on your system, rather than just pressing it quickly. Its joystick is also easy to use, and a pleasurable throwback to a simpler time.


A Virtual Keyboard

It is worth mentioning, however, that the mechanical keyboard that the C64 Mini comes with is non functional. Don’t worry, as your unit comes equipped with a fully functioning and highly user-friendly virtual keyboard to cover that need.


Plug-and-Play

This is by far one of our favorite elements of the C64 Mini. Everything’s been taken care of before your unit arrives at your door. On your end, all you have to do in order to jump in and get playing is to plug it in and you’re all set to game away.


This brings us to the next exciting element of this system. Using the C64 Mini, you won’t need a source for the games you want to play. There are thousands of games pre-added onto the console; just plug, and play.


There’s great attention to detail that has been put into the construction of this unit. This unique mini console is sure to take your gaming experience to new heights. The ease of use, feature-rich build, and the convenient virtual keyboard are a real steal for the cost of this machine.


This is a console built by a gamer, for gamers.
