Should it be something retro, something novel, or maybe a hybrid of the two?

The original Commodore was known for a super cheap computer that made it practical for people to have one at home, as well as innovative graphics for the time.

I don't know how that might translate into modern times when everyone has a home computer (a telephone at least). Maybe a computer targeted to pre-teens?

The problem is that an entry-level PC can be bought for $150. Then, emulators like C64 Forever and Amiga Forever can be run on the PC.

There already exists a C64/C65 clone, the Mega 65 ( https://mega65.org/ ), but it is expensive to buy.
