The main pusher behind Commander X16 talked a bit about this alternative. It does feel like an 8-bit machine but IMO is closer to an emulator than 8-bit hardware. It's super overpowered compared to what it represents with the most intriguing aspect being it runs reegular old basic faster than a C64 runs machine code. Some of the creations are pretty amazing, but mostly because of today's hardware. It's also been pretty difficult to get a maximite (though this might clear up)
