    I play it for a few days, use to have one back in 1997, But I did return it for my credit...It's just two dimensional playing- not for me any more...

    Bought this for an x mas present. 1 controller doesn’t work. Some of the games pause, system locks up. Tried to return to Best Buy, but it was 5 days too long for their return policy. I’d buy from a different store next time. Other stores return policies are so much better.

    Kids are two you for a Xbox or PlayStation and wasn’t ready for a switch. This is a affordable starter for young kids and will bring back all the memories from your youth.

    This is a good old school system and has lots of games for Atari lovers to play. I guess only small downside is that it does not look like the old school system.
