Impressive Portable Game Console

As a hesitant buyer, I wasn't sure what to expect from this single board computer but I was pleasantly surprised. As a result of using this product, I found that the graphics were impressive and the gameplay was smooth. The built-in joystick and buttons were responsive and easy to use. The sound quality was also great. The only downside is that it takes a bit of effort to set up, but once you get it going, it's definitely worth it. Overall, a great buy for anyone into retro gaming on the go!

Pros
  • Portable and easy-to-use console that comes with a built-in 4.3 inch IPS screen.
Cons
  • Only available in black

Amazing electronics

Insert batteries, switch on, done. The screen is actually pretty good, I thought it wasn't that good. The build quality seems to be very good and would be a good device. The only downside is that the LCD is exposed. I would recommend a protective film.

Pros
  • Built-in speaker and headphone jack, hear familiar background music from the old days
Cons
  • Nothing
