    Retro-bit retro portable handheld video game system is great. Comes with a ton of vintage games pre installed. About the size of an old game boy. I would recommend it to anyone.

    Purchased as a birthday gift. And from feedback heard a few weeks later, it was a hit. A throwback casing similar to the gameboy. Games all worked. Hours of fun.

    Mainly got it for Tetris so it does what I need it too do. The other games can be cool once you learn them

    It isn't perfect it's a great little game for the money. Tetris runs great and it's a blast to play. Most of the games are not really playable however the games you've heard of work great! Great fun for the $$$

    If you don’t have gameboy, or psp and your phone doesn’t have good games, this is for you. It’s decent if you’re on the go and don’t have other portable games.

    This is a great game to play when there is no WiFi available. No violence games either. Plain old school games! Plus- affordable price!
