So I can't speak for other brands, but I can tell about my experience with the Old Skool Classiq N HD console. Don't even think about using it without a game genie. The pins are so tight that it creates a "grip of death" on the game cartridge. You won't last a week swapping the games in and out without breaking the pins. Fortunately my first one broke soon enough that i was able to exchange it on amazon. You have to use a game genie and you never remove it from the console.

It does suck. I didn't mean to sound like a Debbie downer, but I just wanted to show how for some people nostalgia can be a positive force that can uplift one's spirit.

Nostalgia makes me feel good. I mean I watch movies from my time period, especially the good ol' 80s and 90s or earlier. I was born in 1982 and I watch The Three Stooges, which is my grandparent's generation.

It's not the games. It's the mentality. In the past I've put them on, revisited them, realized it was great and got my fix in a few minutes of playing. But to dig-in and play through those games all over again, beginning to end? ![]() I think you should respect that on it's own merits before pointing fingers at people. My input about retro-gaming was positive advice based on my experience, your input was some kind of questioning of my experiences. Big difference. My input was designed to help with perspective, where your input was designed as a defensive, passive aggressive attack. I was helpful, you were rude. |

Today I got the multi-format system and 6 games came in. I played through the Turtles In Time in upgraded 4K on the SNES and it looks and sound amazing. The picture quality is a lot better than it did on those CRT TVs 30 years ago. Not only did I play Turtles in Time (as Leonardo), I also beat it. I haven't played a SNES game off a console in many years but today, I played like I'm still an expert.
I'm so happy that I got this set up. The only downside is that the system came with only 1 SNES; 1 Genesis; 2 NES controllers, but so far the only games I have delivered are SNES games. My best friend is visiting me this week and I only have 1 SNES controller. I have 2 NES controllers, but no games yet. My Genesis game Monopoly comes tomorrow, but only 1 controller. Oh, well, I'll just have to get another controller for the SNES and Genesis for when he comes over in the future. It shouldn't be too expensive. So if you like old games and want to see it on today's HD 4K TVs, this set up is the way to do it. I highly recommend it to any game enthusiast. |

I'm not one of these retro guys, but part of me would kind of enjoy playing old NES or SNES games on a decent-sized CRT TV. There's something about that "softness" that really makes NES and SNES graphics completely different vs. the flat coldness of an LED monitor.
