There's a computer store near here that deals vintage games on the side. I went in today, to see what they'd added to their stock. Along with the classic systems, I saw that they were now selling Hyperkin systems such as...
The Retron 3 (NES, SNES, and Genesis all in one)
and the Supaboy
I had seen similar items at flea markets and such in the past. I had always assumed they were kind of in a legal gray area, and probably weren't made very well. But now that my SNES has apparently died on me, and I am without NES or Genesis, the Retron thing seems kind of interesting.
Reviews online look decent enough. And you can use the actual controllers over the stock one.
Still, the whole thing seems kind of too good to be true. Anyone have any experience with them or similar products for better or worse?
