Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ QoolPart Handy Business Women's Portable Device in Black by Tony York

Revainrating 3 out of 5

decent interface for several classic game console emulators

This would be a 1 star device without the included 32GB TF card, but the included content on this card keeps that entertainment value of this device. The base games (preloaded) from 180 are terrible and won't entertain a small child for long, let alone an adult. Think of the worst games you've ever had for a Commodore 64 or Apple 2e and they'll still be better than any of the 180 preloaded games. I suppose the added little clock is a good thing, but the compass on the back is just an oddly odd addition (doesn't really change anything in terms of overall feel or gameplay, just adds a very vague situational utility?). The volume is reasonable and the controls are suitable for most of the games presented. Any game that loads with a 90 degree rotation will be very difficult to play with this controller orientation (unless you're playing on a different screen). The controls are suitable for most simple motion control games. Trying to play fighting games and use special moves is very difficult and will tire your hands quickly. I had a lot of trouble getting the uppercut and fireball sequences to work reliably with this controller in these types of games. Battery life is decent, but I like plugging it into a power bank (it can work and charge while plugged into it, so stays on for a long time). All game system emulators provided should be legal everywhere, but ROMS collection is another story. While they are considered legal in some places, they are not in others. In the United States, copyright protects works for 75 years, which means none of the major console games will be in the public domain for decades. In theory, I don't believe that the copyright holder(s) explicitly made the game(s) available in the public domain, nor did the license agreement concluded between the copyright holder(s) and this hardware distributor, and thus the roms provided further uses the card is probably illegal for me in the USA. However, there is a wide range of classic console games from various classic console systems. The ability to save and load your games is a very attractive feature.
