I grew up with a C64. Long before my parents got me a Master System, Genesis, SNES, or TG16, the Commodore 64 was my entertainment system. The Amiga was the successor, but from what I recall, it was a tad pricey. I remember always going to the Software Etc. at the University Square Mall to see what new games they reloaded it with each week.
I can clearly see that day I first played Another World and was blown away by the smooth animation and the cutscenes. Ah, those simpler times…
Much like the previously released C64 replicas, this one will allow you to add your own games without relying on third-party software like the case with the NES and SNES minis. Again, the Amiga library was quite robust, making this system a “must buy” for those out there feeling that nostalgic itch.
