    buyers will also get a spiral-bound user guide, a 64GB USB Cassette Drive featuring 50+ full games, including licensed classics

    Is this USB Cassette drive for retro vibes? Why not just have a USB flash drive? Am I missing something?

      The whole thing is for retro vibes. Otherwise you’d get a $40 raspberry pi and engage in that scene, including homebrew/lofi games

        I get that (I am assuming you have excellent C64 emulators for x86 too), just for some reason the USB tape deck felt like a bridge too far for me.

      Is it an actual cassette drive or just a flash disk shaped like a cassette drive? Because I don’t think cassette drives normally have storage. But I suppose it could be useful to anyone who still has their C64 cassettes, if they haven’t degraded too much!
