I absolutely love mine. I was so devastated with the C64 mini because of the included joystick. Even without the input lag, it felt undeniably stiff which completely ruined the experience for me. And the firmware updates were so slow that by the time my third party joystick was supported, I was over it.
The A500's gamepad isn't ideal but a bad D-pad is much more tolerable than a bad stick.
I'm sure it will have its market but its the opposite of what I want. I'm all about digital, and for old school gaming I prefer a bundle of 50 games like the Megadrive collection.

Re: Codemasters Was Supposed To Make A NES CD Drive, But It Never Happened
The Dizzy games were such an important part of my pre-adult life. For that, I'll be eternally grateful to The Codemasters.
Re: The Making Of: Fighting Fantasy - The Million-Selling Gamebook Series
A website that sometimes talks about "game books" and the Amiga! Feels like I'm in heaven.
I couldn't resist googling these books after reading the article. Someone should be arrested for the release they did with the tiny cover artwork.

Re: Evercade Retro System To Receive Oliver Twins Collection Cartridge, All Profits Will Go To Charity
@Tipehtfomottob Played them again last year! Some are hard but some like Prince of the Yolkfolk are pretty easy. They are mostly all still amazing.
