This isn't a joke. The PC Classic is real.

Saw it a couple of days ago. Silly idea IMO.

As your article says with GOG is there really any need or use, considering they don't have the IP licenses either

And the thing is most every one who would remember classic PC games would have a PC now and be playing them any way. PC gamers didn't just get into PC gaming and then stop. Any one who would care about these games would either already have them or not care, but still have a PC any way.

or the second option of buying a PC that has native DOS support for a lot less than this. £25 quid will buy you a nice p3 with 256mb of ram, a GeForce 2 and windows 98 pre-installed.
Though agreed GOG, Steam, Origin ect probably already cover 90% of the games that people want and the original studios have probably been bought out by the likes of EA ect. can't see this taking off, though I like the design, colour and if they made the floppy drive an SD slot that would be a good gimmick.
