They are launching it this month. I wish it had a full keyboard, but 1000 games of my childhood will do!

Well that's their point ... to NOT have a full keyboard and instead be like an old Atari.

Breakout
Space Invaders
Asteroids
Missile Command

..... ahhhh ....

Well, I'm glad they've done it, but I wouldn't fancy playing Tau Ceti with only 9 keys. Ah well, as long as it has Hungry Horace.

I think I'll stick to my FBZX emulator. Actually, I'm not sure that having cursor keys in a PC-style X configuration is a good idea: some games needed four keys side by side. I liked the cat video, though!

I still have my original Spectrum as an ornament: a first-month-of-manufacture model.
