Retro Gamer magazine -- the fastest-growing, new magazine in Great Britain -- 
has published an article about the Commodore Direct-to-TV joystick-styled game 
system.  The latest issue of Retro Gamer has this to say about the C= DTV...

 	HANDHELD HEAVEN

 	New plug-in game consoles revealed

 	Following the recent trend of retro-styled joysticks
 	that plug straight into your TV, Tulip (the current
 	owner of everything Commodore, except the Amiga range),
 	along with Ironstone Partners, has announced a
 	ready-to-play C64-based console containing 30 built-in
 	games. The main titles will include many of the Epyx
 	sports simulations.
 		This new device, encapsulated in the popular
 	retro-joystick design, is expected to be released
 	during the second half of this year and is billed as
 	bringing new standards to products this type, building
 	on the success of similar devices from Atari and Namco.
 	Its retail price is expected to be around 30 Euros,
 	which is approximately 20 pounds at current rates. Bet
 	you can't wait?

Wouldn't it be nice if it had the original MOS chips inside?! :-) I could
then use it as a spares supply for my aging collection of C= machines ...
