First Look - C64 Direct-to-TV

The Commodore 64 had a rich library of games, and Tulip Computers is taking 30 of them mainstream. The C64 Direct-to-TV will cost about $37 at retail, but before you get too excited: It's another of those gaming system in a joystick gizmos. That's right, you won't be able to program in BASIC, dial up BBSes or play non-bundled games like M.U.L.E. If you love Epyx classics like Summer Games, Winter Games and, we can only hope, Impossible Mission and Jumpman, this is good news. But know that Summer Games alone destroyed many a cheap joystick in its day...
