Overview - Retro Games The C64 Mini User Manual

OVERVIEW

THEC64 Mini home computer is a compact, modern take on the classic home computer system that first
appeared in 1982. THEC64 Mini is instantly reminiscent of the original design, although the keyboard
is purely aesthetic and non-functional.
A selection of classic C64 games are pre-installed on THEC64 Mini, ready to be played with the sup-
plied THEC64 Joystick.
THEC64 Mini includes a virtual on-screen keyboard for selecting keys during a game. For most games
that need access to a keyboard, this will be more than sufficient. Alternatively, connect a USB keyboard
(not supplied), giving you access to any keys you might need when playing games or programming
in BASIC. See www.thec64.com/basic for more information on C64 BASIC and how to begin
programming.
THEC64 Mini also provides a number of options via the (MENU) button on THEC64 Joystick, including
☰
saving and loading during any game.
CHAPTER 1 describes the recommended order for connecting, powering on and shutting down
THEC64 Mini.
See CHAPTER 2 for more information about THEC64 Joystick.
See CHAPTER 6 for information on using Virtual and USB keyboards.
We hope you have hours of fun, either reliving your childhood or enjoying the C64 for the first time!
