Throw some barely-viable hardware together, toss some poorly-written “games” on it, with LOADS of variations no less, then you can slap on a label saying it’s a “retro gaming” console, regardless if it was branded after some actual console that came before.
I have actually seen some of those fake “retro” console devices before, and have never been impressed at all. Well, maybe with their chutzpah of the attempt, but never the execution.
Mom got suckered into buying one of those “255 games” handheld games. I counted 11 distinct game modes and they counted the rest of the variety those game modes provided. And yes, those “pixels” were giant squares. The screen was huge but so were the “pixels” to the point that “Mini” (6×11) tetris was possible.
It’s hip to be square.
Yeah something like that’s not even worth STEALING. Which didn’t stop customers from doing so but still.
A store is selling it, so it must have some value.
Maybe as a paperweight?
