Evercade VS

It has a touch of 1980s aesthetic and presents a mix of classic games from different systems and publishers, including titles like Missile Command, Double Dragon and Speedball 2. The console can house two Evercade cartridges simultaneously. Anybody having a cartridge collection because of Evercade EXP handheld, it will work on the VS, too. Games come in collections on $20 physical cartridges and there are more than 260 officially licensed games from Atari, Technos, Data East, Codemasters and Piko Interactive while new releases are rolling out all the time.

Analogue Pocket

A device modelled on the original Game Boy, it can natively play cartridges. You can bring your old Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, and Game Boy Advance games to life like never before. It's perfect for those who held on to childhood game cartridges like Super Mario World or Pokémon Crystal. The Analogue Pocket comes with a 3.5-inch high-res display with 10 times the pixels of the original square Game Boy.

Sega Genesis Mini

This is a homage to Sega’s classic 16-bit system. Less than half the size of the original, the design remains the same. It plugs into your TV with the included HDMI cable. There is a good lineup of titles that run smoothly, like Sonic the Hedgehog games, Ecco the Dolphin, Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, Golden Axe, Tetris and Street Fighter 2.

Sony PlayStation Classic

Sony brought back its original PlayStation console and, similar to Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classic consoles, it comes pre-loaded with “genre-defining” titles, including Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, and Ridge Racer Type 4. It comes with two wired controllers, a power cable and an HDMI cable. With only 20 games on board, this is a limited PlayStation lineup.

A500 Mini

It’s a replica of the Amiga 500, the home computer that launched many developers' careers. Though it didn’t make it big in the US, it was one of the most popular home computers in the UK and across Europe. The preinstalled games include Cadaver, Speedball 2 and Alien Breed.
