The above 8 bit computer -- which is intended as an educational tool in emerging markets, and has been available in China and India for a while now -- is finally for sale here in the good old US of A. This hackable little package, which boasts a 1Mhz 6502 chip, comes with a keyboard, mouse, two game controllers, an OS cartridge, RCA cables and nine volt power supply. You'll be jamming to your own, handheld version of "Personal Jesus" in no time at all. These bad boys are available now for the shockingly affordable price of $49.99.

Sounds like a rework of the good ole Commodore 64. I still have one of those outside in my shed, and a C-128 and two 1571 disk drives sitting behind me on a shelf.

Does anyone know if there is a Commodore 64 Emulator available for the DS? Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I just got here :D
