"In 2014 the father of the MEGA65 Dr. Paul Gardner-Stephen from Australia began creating a C64 accelerator aiming to be C65 compatible but should do more. I was looking for a new challenging project for our museum. Few months later Paul joined MEGA Museum of Electronic Games & Art and we decided to build a real 8-bit computer." (Detlef 'deft' Hastik)
