Retro Games has pegged December 5, 2019, as the day The C64 will officially ship, and it will come with a price tag of around $120, which is definitely more expensive than the C64 Mini, but that working keyboard will go a long way to recreating the original Commodore experience for nostalgia seekers.

The Commodore 64 got a throwback, mini-sized tribute last year, now the workhorse of 1980s PC gaming is getting a full-size model — which means it has a working keyboard and function keys. They were just for looks on the smaller version that launched last fall.

Other features and enhancements on the full-size THEC64 (as the unit is called) include audio scaling, to keep the sound playing as close to possible as it originally did when THEC64’s program are running at a different refresh rate than expected. The full-size C64 will also display all of the PC’s video output in a full-height 720p image on whatever monitor the player is using.
The C64 has two modes, the 40-column C64 front end and the 22-column phat-text VIC-20 emulator. Owners will be able to load their own programs, with multi-disk compatibility. Much more is available through THEC64’s web page.
