The retro gaming revival has been gathering steam for years, spilling from niche emulation communities into mainstream retail. Mini consoles, plug-and-play sticks, and budget handhelds have all taken a crack at the classics with varying degrees of success. Home computers like the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum have had their own official revivals, too, but they’ve always been tied to a desk and a television.
Blaze Entertainment and Retro Games Ltd have finally asked the obvious question: what would those machines have looked like if portable computing had caught on in the 1980s? The answer is THEC64 Handheld and The Spectrum Handheld, two new clamshell retro gaming consoles built to bring those beloved libraries off the shelf and into your bag, your commute, or anywhere else the nostalgia takes you.
Designer: Evercade (Blaze Entertainment)
Both devices wear their inspirations openly. THEC64 Handheld comes in a warm retro beige that echoes the Commodore 64C, while The Spectrum Handheld goes with a classic black that fits the original Sinclair machine perfectly. The clamshell form factor draws as much from the palmtops and organizers of that era as it does from successful gaming handhelds, making both feel oddly familiar on first contact.
The controls have been designed with the same care. THEC64 Handheld uses tactile plastic function keys that feel snappy under the fingers, while The Spectrum Handheld opts for rubber buttons, a direct nod to the membrane keyboard that made the original ZX Spectrum so recognizable. Both include four mappable function keys alongside the D-pad and face buttons, so keyboard-heavy games aren’t completely unplayable without one.
Flip either one open, and you’re greeted with a 4.3-inch IPS screen at 840×480 resolution, crisp enough to do justice to games originally built for home television sets. A quad-core 1.2GHz processor handles the emulation cleanly, and the 2,000mAh battery is rated for over three hours of play. A 3.5mm headphone jack and USB-C charging round out the basics, keeping the whole thing portable-friendly.
Each handheld arrives with 25 preloaded games, so you could pick one up and be knee-deep in Boulder Dash or Paradroid on the C64 side, or Starquake and Zynaps on the Spectrum, within minutes. A MicroSD slot lets you expand beyond those 25 if you’ve got your own collection, and a rear USB-A port even accepts a physical keyboard when the gamepad layout falls short.
The emulation goes deeper than just one flavor of each machine. THEC64 Handheld lets you switch between C64 PAL and NTSC variants, and The Spectrum Handheld covers formats from the 16K to the 128K and beyond. Collector’s Edition versions, limited to 2,000 units each, also include a hard-shell case and an exclusive print magazine, Crash for the Spectrum and Zzap for the C64.
Both standard editions are priced at $129.99 and launch in October 2026, with pre-orders already open. It’s a step up from a generic emulation handheld, and the gap is hard to miss. But for anyone who grew up loading games from a cassette tape and staring at a loading screen for far too long, it’s a price that’s surprisingly easy to justify.
