Playing those retro games that marked the way in the video game sector in the 80s and 90s is becoming easier every time. In addition to the large number of emulators and packs that we can find on the Internet, it is also possible to get hold of different vintage consoles, which imitate the classics, thanks to which we can remember those times of more than 20 years ago. And, in addition, these are within the reach of all pockets.
Today we find ourselves, as part of AliExpress Choice Day, a portable retro console with more than 500 games inside that we can buy for less than 7 euros. This console has a design clearly inspired by the Nintendo GameBoy, offering a integrated color display 3 inch4 action buttons, crosshead, integrated speaker and a rechargeable lithium battery so you don’t have to spend on batteries.
The games that we will find on this console are mostly commercial NES games, as well as some popular hackroms released for that console as well. We must bear in mind that it is a console of limited power (hence its price), so we cannot expect to run much more demanding console games like the PlayStation on it.
According to the headline of AliExpress, this console has more than 500 games ready to play. And, according to the product description, there are more than 800. According to our criteria, we believe that neither 500 nor much less 800, but that we will have between 200 and 300, with the rest of the games being versions in other languages and duplicates.
If you are interested in this retro console, you can buy it from this link. Its full price within Choice Day is 6.85 euros, but we can apply some more discounts so that it stays around 6 euros. Even if we are new users, we can get it for about 3 euros. A bargain, if we like these products.
Other more powerful retro consoles
If we are looking for other more powerful solutions, and we don’t mind spending a little more money, we are also going to find many other alternatives capable of even emulating even the PlayStation 1, together with the possibility of connecting it to the television.
This console, for example, brings us 10,000 games from all kinds of platforms, from Atari to Game Boy and PlayStation, ready to play. The pack includes a stick to connect to a television (similar to the Google Chromecast or the Amazon Fire TV Stick), as well as including two wireless controllers to be able to play without having to be tied to the television.
We can buy this console directly at this link. Its price: 23.62 euros.
And, if that seems like a few games to us, we also have this very cheap Arcade Box in AliExpress. This device has more than 33,000 games from all kinds of platforms, from the classic Atari and NES to the most advanced ones like MAME or PlayStation. All the games are ready to play, and it also includes two controllers to start playing as soon as possible.
Its price is 46.56 euros, and we can buy it directly at this link.
