You’ll have to wait until 2027 to slip the Commodore 64 into your pocket.

Blaze Entertainment’s handheld remakes of the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum were supposed to launch in October but the company has “made the decision to move the release date from 15th October 2026 to 22nd April 2027” for all versions following production issues where it “identified areas where the product construction was not meeting our high standards.” [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/09/c64.jpg?quality=90&strip=all]

The Post-Instant digital camera is another attempt at simulating the film shooting experience.

Accessory-maker Rolling Square has launched a new sister-brand called Await whose first product is a screen-free 8-megapixel digital camera that emulates the functionality and limitations of film cameras. You shoot on a simulated roll with 24 exposures but you don’t get to see your pics until they’re “processed” on a mobile app that gives you the option to download the results or order physical 4x6 prints.
