The full-sized C64 with working keyboard is coming to Australia in December – $199.95

Everything old is new again, and everything new again is newer still again – at least that’s the case when it comes to Commodore 64!

Last year the iconic computer was reborn as a simple games machine, retro looking but with loads of games pre-loaded.

It seems some people weren’t satisfied. So – this year, “THEC64” will launch in December and will be full-sized and with a working keyboard!

That means you can tune your BASIC skills, and I don’t mean your basic skills at Winter Games, I mean programming in BASIC.

There’s C64 and VIC20 modes for tapping away on the beast, plus, there’s console mode where you get access to 64 built-in games.
