The built-in games have plenty of hits , and a few misses,in total to choose from and scroll through via a handy carousel menu that you can boot into at start up, or choose to be greeted by the original Commodore 64 splash screen.
Believe me, I owned an original Vic-20 and Commodore 64 in the 1980s and this year paid quite a bit for a 1984 model, so I’ve now experienced all there is with this new edition and I can tell you, the similarities are plenty. Those who argue the original SID chip cannot be properly emulated, these are the same types of folks who argue vinyl sound is better than CD quality – they’re probably right, but for the most part people just want to play the games and have fun.
