The first Mega65 machines of the first batch have been delivered. Reviews start to slowly pile up on Youtube and in the interwebs. And if you are still waiting for your machine, or if you want to have a look at what Commodore should have released, you will find some seriously good reading material in the following.

Epsilon has taken a lot of time and not only put the Mega65 through its paces. In his super detailed review you can find 111 high quality and high resolution pictures of the machine and software.

If that doesn't whet your appetite…

Unfortunately, the price of the Mega65 is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. As long as there aren't enough buyers, the price of the machine won't drop significantly. And until the price comes down, the machine is just too expensive for many. 😔

But there are alternatives. One of them is to build your own Mega65 based on a Nexys4 FPGA. Steven Combs helped with his walkthrough.

Let's hope for the best.
