It's made by "Mammoth Toys", it's shaped like an Atari controller (I think), and it says it's a Commodore 64, and it has about 20 Commodore 64 games on it, although the controller is horribly difficult to use and makes 90% of them virtually unplayable, but they all seem to suck anyway.

Has anyone else heard of/seen of these, and any idea what it would have inside it? It runs on 4 AA batteries, and uses AV cables to plug into the TV. I can get pictures if anyone wants them.

EDIT : Oh, I wasn't sure what forum to put this in, I figured this would be the closest though.

EDIT, again : Heh.. Googled it, probably should've done that first.

You can but it's fairly limited when compared to the PAL version or the Hummer. The first one, I have one actually, can take a keyboard, can have a disk drive port added on and with the keyboard connected will load you right into a BASIC promt. The first generation is limited in that it only has 128kB ram, the BIOS are not flash-able, and often times has the worst video quality of of all three.
