Tulip launches new Commodore 64 mini game console
« on: April 29, 2004, 07:24:07 PM »
Tulip announced today the development of a new Commodore 64 minigame console in conjunction with Ironstone Partners Ltd. This game system is based on the world-famous Commodore 64. With a simple connection to a TV, users are able to play 30 popular C64 games.

This will be the first of a series of game systems. The price will be around 30 Euros and will be available at the second half of 2004 in Europe and America.

It would be more interesting if I could read it



Basically it's a C64 without the expansion connectors and comes with 30 games in (flash?) rom such as  the Classic Games™ series from Epyx™ including Summer Games™, Winter Games, World Games™ and The Seminal California Games™.

It's sort of nice for that amount of money, but I'm still waiting for the CommodoreOne. I really don't understand why Tulip won't put their money on that product  :-o

I was going to say the same thing. I though that this might be about a C65 handheld. Why would anyone make a console version?


Considering the looks of it, one might call it a handheld :lol:
 
Appearantly there's a similar Atari 2600 version of it too: http://www.dansdata.com/ataristick.htm
