Play over 200 console and arcade games, including Balls of Steel and PAC-MAN, and five games from Atari’s Recharged series. Six different controls – paddle, trak-ball, d-pad, bumpers, numeric keypad, and classic gamepad buttons (A,B,X,Y). High-res, 7-inch display, WiFi connectivity, HDMI, USB-C ports, and rechargeable battery.
I mean the price is high, but it is a unique device with controls you won’t find on other devices. Additionally, you’re not pirating the games this way (I know that’s not a plus for everyone). It’s obviously playing on peoples nostalgia, but I don’t think it’s that big of a ripoff.
The controls are what makes it a good purchase imo. Old arcade games often had unique controls like dials, or track balls that DO NOT translate well to a keyboard mouse or controller.
Playing OG Missile Command with an actual scroll ball is such a fun time. This hand held looks to give a bit of that back with their extra controls, so I am very interested.
Regardless of the game size and quality, HOW it’s played is what’s been missing from most arcade ports over the last few decades. Seems like they actually put some thought into this design imo! 😁
Yeah, I’ve had the chance to play mission command and asteroid on an original arcade cabinet, its definitely a different experience and I’m sure for some worth this price.
