This little handheld arcade is a blast for quick, nostalgic racing sessions. While it's definitely a novelty item, it delivers on its promise of retro fun.Pros:* Nostalgic Charm: 30 pre-loaded 8-bit racing games provide a fun trip down memory lane.* Unique Controls: The mini steering wheel and gear stick add a fun, tactile element that sets it apart from typical handhelds.* Portable: Small and lightweight, perfect for on-the-go entertainment.* Affordable: A budget-friendly way to get a dose of retro gaming.Cons:* Limited Game Variety: While 30 games sound like a lot, many are variations of the same basic racing gameplay.* Small Screen: The 2.4" LCD screen can feel cramped, especially for longer play sessions.* Basic Graphics & Sound: Don't expect modern visuals or audio; it's pure 8-bit simplicity.* Control Sensitivity: The small steering wheel can be a bit sensitive and take time to get used to.

Retro
Retro mini arcade games machine with numerous games to choose from. Great for nimble fingered people a little fiddly for fumble fisted. Very brittle plastic so don’t drop it as it wouldn’t survive the knocks. It does look cool though. Sound quality isn’t great but then this reflects in the price and size of the item.

Some games don't work well
I bought this as a present for my partner who loves driving games, but some of the games really don't work well with that little steering wheel and after playing it for a couple of days it ended up in the cupboard of doom in our dining room and will probably be never seen again.
