Anyone else seen this? I wonder is Jeff is aware (I thought he might mention it whilst playing that new c64 game on UPF this week)

Anyways.

It's on indiegogo at the mo (not sure if it's bad form to paste the link to cowdfunding stuff here, so I won't...but just search "the 64" on indiegogo)

As a massive c64 fan, I think it looks pretty great. It seems to be NOT emulation based (or it's at least some kind of hybrid). They seem to want to get original peripherals working with it too, and It's a pretty nice recreation of the original breadbin keyboard etc etc.

Also, one of the main dudes is the guy who made the D64TV, which was actually pretty great.

Only 4 days to go, and I've not backed it as of yet. But am pretty tempted.

Will it run my old tapes? Will we get authentic load times?

So.. I set up my emulator with some .tap files, and got a usb interface for my zipstick a few weeks ago..

and maaaaaaaan

The waiting, isn't so bad, especially if there was cool loading music (I just checked my phone a lot). But playing games with a joystick is HARD!

No wonder I was so bad at them as a kid :)
