It is not very expensive either, but it doesn’t sound the right price for me.
SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM VEGA PLUS HANDHELD PRICE HOW TO
With less money than planned how to project will come to fruition?Īlso, besides the very good looking console, the The64 doesn’t offer anything different than other options, starting from a PI running Vice to an android handheld device like the Gamepad Digital GPD XD. I am seeing the campaign with a grain of salt because it is a big undertaking and the way IndieGoGo works is different than Kickstarter: after the campaign is over, the project gets whatever was backed by the users, even if it didn’t reach the goal. There is no information about the specifications of both machines, so we can’t say whether is an android-based device, or Raspberry PI or even a completely custom hardware. Of course, the pictures are from rendered 3D models, not the actual handheld but it could be better, in my opinion. The handheld is also good-looking but doesn’t seem as well polished as the VEGA.
As we can see in the photo below, it is a good looking console – it could be even the 2016 C64 if it has last all those years! It is a gaming console that you can connect a joystick or use the keyboard. The console version is not going to be a Commodore 64, booting up directly on BASIC. The project is exciting and resembles a lot the idea behind the Spectrum Vega. The initial plan is to deliver the console in December 2016 and the handheld in April 2017. Darren was also one of the key people behind the C64DTV ™ console”. One of the team members is Darren Melbourne who “ has created games for almost every major platform of note since the early 1980’s but has always retained a passion for eight bit gaming, especially for the Commodore ™ range of machines. The developers are claiming that the concept and project are complete, and they are working on the prototypes. There is a “get-it-all” package for $650 that gives you both and a lot of other perks. So far, it has 4% of that and one month to go.Īccording to the IndieGogo page, you can back $150 for the console version and $170 for the handheld.
The campaign objective is to gather USD 150,000 for the production of the initial units. Backing the project will give options to get one of them or both. Different than the VEGA, ‘The64’ team promises to release two devices: one console that looks like our beloved breadbox computer, and a handheld. If you were one of those, you would be excited to know about this new crowdfunding campaign: ‘The 64’ – A pair of devices aimed to play C64 games. There are reports of C64 fans secretly buying the VEGA but we cannot confirm that! After the VEGA handheld success, all the Commodore enthusiasts were dying out of jealousy.
