If you're nostalgic you can go for the new Commodore 64. Looks like the
classic C64, but has modern PC hardware under the hood. There's even a
Linux-based CommodoreOS that supports Windows applications, and it boots
into a classic C64 command line mode to run classic game ROMs stored on SD
Card.

They have two models. The New Commodore 64, which all spec'ed out is just
over $1,000, and the VIC model which is just over $500 for its highest end
model.
