    I know this is a casual gamer device, but not being able to change the difficulty of games like "Adventure" is a deal breaker, plus I'm amazed a 2025 device can't run Atari 2600 at full speed. Too bad, I was initially interested in this.

    When the market has been flooded with cheap emulation devices that can play up to ps1 with ease, a branded $30 device that can’t play 2600 games at full speed is unacceptable.

    Rubbish product. Even worse than it's larger counterpart, the Atari 50th Anniversary handheld. The fact that they keep including paddle games that are unplayable is insulting.

    I find it really disappointing that it feels like they don’t test these games properly to make sure they’re playable and worthwhile on the target device! You’re totally right about it being aimed at the most casual players who don’t want to change difficulties or do anything else other than play a game they might remember vaguely for a couple of minutes to fill in some time.

    I probably did know sub-consciously or vaguely that these Atari 2600 games has been selling in the market. However, I never took that part of it into full account. Now I don't know at all if it is illegal to download Atari-Rom-Games due to the fact they are still marketable thru compact handheld Consoles versions of its original big brother the genuine-authentic-Atari 2600 home console which has been discontinued due to better gaming-console-technologies which took the Atari's place over the years. However, I own a jailbreak custom firmware Handheld PlayStation Portable with all the Atari Consoles like the 2600 and the 5200 and so forth with every game ever been made into existence for each of those Atari Consoles on my handheld PlayStation Portable gaming system with a dual Sd-memory stick adapter along with two 64-Gb memory-sticks. On the contrary I am very limited and picky about the games I choose because I'm against Violence and War which reduced the greater majority of games that I would not play. Too bad since the greater majority of the Atari games are based on violence. The PSP is much worth it because it acts like a mp-5 since it includes mp-3, mp-4, Jpg as for picture images format. and of course, video games. If anyone have any questions, please do so to reply back at me. On the PSP all the Atari games run smoothly with no problems at all, perhaps there is a few games that may be unplayable, but you have to find the right Atari emulator that will work full speed with very few glitches. Those types of Atari Emulators actually do exist

    Thanks for this! I realize it's not perfect, and not all of the games are up to par, but it seems like it's got a lot to offer. My brother is a HUGE fan of Adventure (and has the tattoo to prove it!) and Haunted House, so depending on the price I may pick this up as a stocking stuffer for him.

    This is cool – in case you have eyes like an owl and hands the size of a toddler. Im too old for this. Absolute AUI candidate. Thanks for the review as always. 👍

    When I started this video, I was prepared for this to be pretty cool after that weird Space Invaders keychain player, but there are so many little things wrong with it (screen tearing, weird game choices, slow emulation, etc) that it's kind of a disappointment, especially after they did such a good job with the Galaga Pocket Pro.
