APOLLO 64 / 64+ VGA Converter & Upscaler

The APOLLO 64 / 64+ is a new VGA video converter for your C64. This lets you hook your C64 up to any monitor with a VGA input and recognizes whether your Commodore is NTSC or PAL.

It seems a little expensive to me at 99€ ($110.98) for the regular edition and 119€ ($133.40) for the enhanced model. There are definitely more affordable solutions.

But to each their own. You can leave your thoughts and comments at the bottom of the post.
