#10 – Mobile C64

Imagesource: https://uni64.com/

In May there was finally the big catch for fans of the small Commodore ... the one with 64 kByte memory. You know.

uHELD64. What's that you say? A mobile C/64, based on 1982 THT technology? Oh, you betcha!

The uHELD64, – as the team behind UNI64 say – the world's first smallest handheld that uses the original C64 chips, combines the classic C64 tech we all know and love with the wonder of modern mobility. Whether you're Team PAL or Team NTSC, this device has got you covered. Simply switch the board jumper and plug in the respective VIC-II chip. Just like that, you're ready to roll.

Despite being small enough to fit in your pocket, the uHELD64 comes loaded with all the connectivity you'd want. We're talking a full C64 miniature keyboard, S-Video output, speakers, a headphone jack, an extra jump button, an expansion port, optional internal 1541, optional joystick ports, and even a DPAD or an analog stick. Yes, they managed to cram all that into this little beauty. 😮

This thing was a trip down memory lane you won't want to miss. You can find out more about this pocket-sized miracle on their website. Ready to get your game on? 😎
