Probably the best for that period of gaming history. I suppose the Atari for circa 1980, or MAME ,a coin op emulator that I used to like for arcade fun that has ROMs for all your favourite games.

"When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."

I played the old Mario games on the switch but got bored.

I've read some bad things about the mini mega drive. Not very well made etc. The official mini mega drive was supposed to come out this year but think it's now 2019.

I have the mega drive game on Xbox one tho. Streets of rage 1, 2 and 3 are still amazing.

PS1 mini is coming out in December. Hopefully they'll have some decent games on.

I've always been a PlayStation man but disappointed the new incarnation has so few games on it.

I bought one of these recently
Amazing machine. Highly recommended

I had an Ingersoll console in the garage, until it got chucked recently.
It had an 'olympics' cartridge, where in black and white, you could play tennis, ice-hockey, football basketball etc. It had a switch for selecting one or two players.

Then we had the Atari 1200. Colour and sound arcade games, on your TV. To be fair, they were a poor imitation of arcade games.

PC's came in around this time, with the BBC, spectrum and Dragon. They were adequate enough for games.

Suppose it's the era you were born, defines what you were brought up on.

I disengage, I turn the page.

I've got the Snes Mini. The games are great but I only have a massive TV (first world problems I know), which means the pixels are about 1" squared and all the games look rubbish at that scale. Using the TVs upscaling doesn't really work either. So whichever one you buy I'd say you don't want anything larger than a 30" TV at most.

I know there is a way to hack the Snes mini and get loads more games - easily searchable on Google I'd have thought.
