Is that just a bad photo or do these things not actually look much like a C64?

Like I said, i wasn't sure if it was a bad photo (and I haven't been interested enough to go looking at their website) but to me the whole keyboard looks nothing like a C64 and the colour looks off.

Yep, could well be a need to remove the rose-tinted specs.

Thanks. I've been loitering around for a while (around 1999) but had to sign up to get involved in all the FPGA goodness that's happening.

Good idea. From what I've heard we could just switch it on a wait until it self-immolates!

I think the colors are the same, but the C64x keyboard is flat while the C64 keyboard was stepped.


That's the major difference and I think that's why the picture looked so strange. Seems like a big thing to miss if you are going to go to all that effort to clone the original.
