After experiencing a kind of gold rush, instigated by Nintendo’s NES Mini, the hardware revival scene has changed somewhat in recent times, now that most of the popular consoles of yesteryear have been exhausted. Depending on their back catalogues, manufacturers have shifted to different approaches: Sega and Taito followed SNK’s lead in creating miniature arcade cabinets, while Nintendo revived its Game & Watch line to celebrate major game anniversaries. But for Retro Games Ltd, manufacturer of The C64 Mini andA500 Mini is the revival specialist’s next step.
