If you grew up in the vibrant 80s, surrounded by the colorful world of Masters of the Universe and Rainbow Brite, then get ready to hit that nostalgia button! Blaze Entertainment, through its Hyper Mega Tech division, has just announced the upcoming release of handheld versions of two legendary computers: the ZX Spectrum and the Commodore 64.
These devices are designed for those who fondly remember the pixelated graphics and catchy chiptunes of the past. The handhelds promise to deliver a delightful experience, allowing you to relive the magic of classic gaming on-the-go. Imagine taking your favorite retro games with you, easily fitting them in your pocket!
Both handheld consoles are set to feature a selection of classic titles, bringing back the joy of old-school gaming. Whether you were a fan of platformers, puzzle games, or adventure titles, there's bound to be something for everyone. This move not only celebrates the rich history of gaming but also caters to a growing interest in retro gaming culture.
Both machines are priced at £109.99 and launch on 15th October, with pre-orders open from today. And as is usual for Blaze, Limited Edition versions are being sold exclusively through retailer FunStock. These cost £129.99 and include the handheld, a hardshell travel case, and a magazine. For the Spectrum, that'll be a specially produced version of Crash! magazine, while the C64 includes a version of Zzap! And if you're not familiar with Hyper Mega Tech's other handhelds, namely the Super Pockets (which are set to expand with a new Rare-themed edition this June), they're solidly built things. And with all that out the way, let's end with a big list of included games:
