Review on EASEGMER Handheld Games Built Retro by Chris Owens

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good portable for the price, use with care

Note: This is still a good device for the price but I'm reducing my rating to 3 stars as it seems very fragile. If you see my included picture then neither my daughter nor I have any idea why the plastic protected LCD screen is no longer working. I'm guessing it was put in my daughter's bag and bent a bit because if I twist the ends slightly I see the distorted image changes a lot. So be careful with yours and remember that it can easily bend or break. Really great little pocket gaming system with tons of games built in. It's hard not to be satisfied with portable gaming at this price point on a good sized, bright screen, as well as TV-out (comes with an RGB video cable and also has an HD-out). The games have many of your favorite games like Pac Man, Space Invaders, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros, Contra and other games like bowling, fishing, chess and racing. It even has Gauntlet and Joust and some other longer classic games, but some games have instructions in a different language OR there don't seem to be any mappings that work for controller buttons. I will say that the notable exceptions to the system are Frogger, Spyhunter and Q-Bert, they are not here and I would like to see them. Device for the price for both me and my little daughter.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
