The Retro Games Ltd THEC64 Mini Black Edition is available on Amazon US for $119.99. You can actually get it for $9.30 less, including shipping, on Amazon Germany. Unfortunately, with Import Charges and the Exchange rate guarantee fee, it comes to $135.48 as of this writing. So yeah, Amazon US it still is.
If you don’t want the new built-in games or the sleek black case and improved joystick, you can still get the original model of THEC64 Mini for just $51.00 as of this writing on Amazon US. That’s a great deal, of course. You can see the full game list for that version here. For that original version, there are more classic commercial games than modern homebrews. The new Black Edition focuses exclusively on modern homebrews.
The list of 25 games built into THEC64 Mini Black Edition is as follows:
- A Pig Quest
- Caren and the Tangled Tentacles
- Galencia
- Good Kniight
- Grid Pix
- Guns ‘N’ Ghosts
- Hessian
- Hunter’s Moon Remastered
- It’s Magic 2
- Joe Gunn: Gold Edition
- Knight ‘N’ Grail
- Metal Warrior Ultra
- Millie & Molly
- Nixy and the Seeds of Doom
- Ooze: The Escape
- P0 Snake
- Pains ‘N’ Aches
- Planet Golf
- Rocky Memphis: The Legend of Atlantis
- Runn ‘N’ Gunn
- Sam’s Journey
- Shadow Switcher
- Spinning Image
- Steel Ranger
- Yeti Mountain

That is truly a murderer’s row of modern homebrews, showcasing the best of what the venerable Commodore 64 computer can pull off in the hands of talented developers using modern tools. Naturally, you can add your own games via USB stick.
Now, those of us in the US just have to wait for Retro Games Ltd to open up pre-orders for the full-size THEA1200, for even more Commodore Amiga fun over THEA500 Mini. THEC64 Maxi is also available from third party sellers, but unfortunately not for its usual low retail price anymore. Instead, I highly recommend you get a Commodore 64 Ultimate (don’t forget to use the link in the post for $10 off!), which is a modern version of the real deal original computer!
