The world is certainly not short of retro video game hardware these days. We have the array of official Mini consoles released by Sega and Nintendo, and then there are the very much unofficial handhelds by companies such as Anbernic, that will play thousands of games – as long as you don’t mind about the shady legality of homebrew emulators and downloadable rom files.

And, even better, the games come on cartridges.
