"The C64 Handheld and the Spectrum Handheld are two retro devices created by Evercade, resembling Nintendo's Game Boy Advance SP, and come pre-loaded with classic games."
"Each has a 4.3″ screen running 840×480 in high-res, along with a quad core 1.2GHz CPU, which is hilariously more powerful than all of the computers of the time added together."
"While the Commodore 64 had international success, the Spectrum is perhaps not the household name in the U.S. as it was in the UK, where the earlier machine dominated the market."
"Limited to 2,000 units each, these devices cater to nostalgia for the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, which had significant historical impact in the UK and US gaming markets."
