Miniature half-scale recreation of the Commodore 64 with 64 built-in games, HDMI output and a non-functional decorative keyboard.

The C64 Mini, released in 2018 by Retro Games Ltd, is a miniature half-scale recreation of the legendary Commodore 64. It brings one of the most beloved home platforms in history back to the living room, with 64 built-in games ready to play straight out of the box and no complicated setup required.

Inside sits an Allwinner A20, a dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 chip that is more than adequate for its clearly defined job: faithful Commodore 64 emulation. Rather than trying to be a multi-system device, it focuses on a single classic machine, delivering a dedicated and consistent experience.

Video is delivered through HDMI output, so the C64 Mini plugs directly into modern TVs and monitors. There is no need for adapters or legacy cables to enjoy the chunky pixel art of the 1980s on a current screen.

The design reproduces the unmistakable look of the original, keyboard included, although that keyboard is decorative and non-functional. Two USB ports allow you to connect accessories, while power comes in via micro-USB, making the console easy to set up next to any television.

On the software side, the C64 Mini runs a custom Linux build with a VICE-based C64 emulator, an engine known for its accuracy. Games are stored on internal flash, and the interface is designed for quick access to the bundled library.

Ideal for: nostalgic players who grew up with the Commodore 64, collectors of mini/classic consoles, and anyone looking for a simple, plug-and-play way to explore the games of a historic platform on a modern TV.
