You might not be able to travel back in time yet, but if you want to relive a certain part of the home computing era of the 80s, then the recent trend of miniature gaming consoles and computers is a welcome addition. There have been mini-replicas of Atari, Amiga, Spectrum, and more computers, but one of the fondest home computer recreations is the trusty Commodore 64. Today, via Woot, you can pick up The C64 Mini Commodore 64 mini console for just $69.99, a hefty 42% discount on the original $119.99 list price. The C64 Mini console listed in this deal is the Black Edition and comes with 25 games and a matching black joystick.
The keyboard on the C64 Mini is purely decorative and may be a nightmare to keep dust-free, but it really looks the part, and is roughly half the size of the original C64 keyboard. A host of modern tech lets you connect to your TV via HDMI and can play retro-style games in 720p resolution in pixel-perfect or original 4:3 aspect ratios. You can add scanlines (CRT filter) if you want to replicate the classic look. You can now even save your progress in one of four save-game slots per game, and return at any time, or even play games you own via a USB flash drive with disc, cartridge, and cassette ROM file compatibility.
