Just bought this handheld games machine, £20, it's better than I expected 200 or so games including classics like space invaders well it's called Galaxy Battle but it's very similar. The screen is pretty clear considering it's only 2.5 inch. It's fun and nostalgic playing the kind of games there are on this thing. The build quality for the money isn't bad.


Has this got Rogue/Dungeons & Dragons and Asteroids on it?
Just looked, the 2.5 inch screen handheld doesn't have those games. The "SUPER GAME" handheld that I bought most recently it does have 2 Dungeons & Dragons games, D & D Shadow over Mystara and D & D Tower of Doom. Can't see Asteroids on either of them.

Also I've just noticed the larger screen one has 'Paperboy' on it. :mrgreen: I used to love that game.


Cheers man. Still doing my research.
Keep us posted. Let us know if you decide to buy one of these retro handheld games machines.

I'd be bored with it after half an hour.
Not exactly breaking the bank though is it, £20 and £40 for the handheld games consoles I've recently bought.

Never owned a games console of any kind?

No so I suppose ten quid or hundred quid would make little difference really.
Nope not a gamer.

The JBL Charge 2+ has better sound than the 3 imv - and it's a bit cheaper I think.

Two things,
I)The JBL Charge 3 is an excellent Bluetooth speaker for it's price. Also water proof up to a metre so good for the beach or pool.
2) Did Herr Hobbit pull you up for the size of the picture you posted?

I want one of those, ideally though with a larger screen.
With handheld stuff you aren't going to get much bigger than like 5 inch. It starts to get too big obviously.

Image How about this, 4.3 inch, I'm thinking of getting it at some point soonish it's from amazon and £40, should be £70 apparently. 600 or so 80s and 90s games on it.


That's more like it. I'll look into it. Thanks.
Just received that "SUPER GAME" handheld games console today. It's quite brilliant, connects to your big screen as well. :mrgreen: Games like Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat and FIFA 98 are included, plenty of Mario stuff if that's your thing. Plenty of car racing games as well.

That's pretty cool.

I have a little handheld Sega emulator at home which I got off Ebay several years ago which is still going great guns. It has lots of games on it but the only one I have played much is Altered Beast!
Nice, I had the Sega Master System back in the day.

Speaking of games do you remember the racing game Outrun? I'd love to find a handheld machine that has it on I was pretty damn good at Outrun.


I loved Outrun and IIRC couldn't you choose the music on the radio station before starting the game? It was epic.

I had a Sega Mega Drive and loved games like Space Harrier and Afterburner too.
Yeah, you could do that, the soundtracks were epic. Awesome gameplay superb sound it doesn't get much better.
