Retro handheld console – a compact case with games, music and video inside

Under the pixel-style menus sits a small multimedia device. Besides the preloaded retro games, it shows photos, plays music and runs videos. A 1500 mAh battery and a card slot round it out.

What makes this retro console worth it

It is one device for two kinds of downtime. Play a quick level, then switch to an album when your thumbs need a break.

• Media mode: photos, music and video next to the games
• 1500 mAh battery: built in and recharged with the included cable
• Expandable: add a memory card of up to 32 GB for your own files
• Bright 16:9 screen: 14 cm across with vivid colors
• Ready out of the box: no store, account or installation

Old-school gaming with a few modern extras tucked in.

The case is just under 18 cm wide, so it fits a jacket pocket or a small bag. Load a card with music for a long trip and alternate between songs and games. The menu is available in English, Spanish, Russian and Simplified Chinese.
