Review: Classic Retro Gaming

Reviewing a game a saw in London Drugs. It is similar to the game on Amazon that is now sold out.

(Very overdue post..)

Intial thoughts:

It reminds me of the past, where there wasn't cell phones to play games on

Hopefully its not too heavy so it would be nice for easy travel to take on trips.

Please have pac-man or tetris !!

Opening and testing:

The game itself is light and compact, perfect for travelling, a little bit bulky but... The screen itself seems a little bit small but to each their own.

The power on button is a slide at the top, there is a sound button, 2 x 4 arrow buttons, reset, and start.


There was no instructions in the package, not that one was needed..


When you turn it on, the sound is a little bit loud but the sound button is easy to find. Sadly, you cannot mute right away, if needed - if in a public place or something.


There are 181 games. I have played a couple, they are all similar in a way but different variety.. many fighting games.. I did see a variation of Tetris, didn't see any card games though..


When you lost or won the game you are playing the screen would just shut off and send you back to the main menu at full volume


The music in the games gave me a feeling of nostalgia.

Overall:

I think for the price that it is, originally $49.99 (Cad) on sale $29.99, on sale I think it is a fun toy to have if you travel a lot or go into an out of service area and need some entertainment

It fits into your bag easily and its easy to carry it around.
