    It appears to be a FPGA-backed device with a C64 core. I wonder if it’d be capable of running cores simulating more powerful systems as well, though if the keyboard layout is just the old-school C64 one, it may be awkward to use.

    buyers will also get a spiral-bound user guide, a 64GB USB Cassette Drive featuring 50+ full games, including licensed classics

    Is this USB Cassette drive for retro vibes? Why not just have a USB flash drive? Am I missing something?

      Is it an actual cassette drive or just a flash disk shaped like a cassette drive? Because I don’t think cassette drives normally have storage. But I suppose it could be useful to anyone who still has their C64 cassettes, if they haven’t degraded too much!
