Just as an addendum to the Vega thread, I'm sure you've all seen this.

I'm not confident this will ever see the light of day.

Re: The 64
I'm kinda of the same feeling. They were very vague on the hardware specs initially although they did add some eventually...RichH6109 wrote:

I see that the funding has finished as well, so we can just sit back and see how it goes.

Re: The 64
I'm in two minds about this.
I did not back the Indiegogo appeal, because of the vague specs. And the mess that was the new "Coleco" console and the Vega + debacle (with people leaving) soured me on the idea of backing hardware that way. Mainly because there is less certainty backing through Indiegogo than Kickstarter.
However, certain aspects appeal.
- cartridge port for compatibility
- exclusive edition games on the way
- a long-term replacement for failing hardware (I just had another C64C fail )
So, if it goes on public sale I will consider buying one.
