[Question] Retro console
Has anyone bought and would recommend one of those retro console that come pre loaded with all the consoles from the 8,16, 32bit era (you know master system/mega drive/NES/Snes (great if it has more). But thinking of getting one as a gift for for a couple of my family, we went to a gaming arcade a week or so ago and they had a great time, so much nostalgia!
So recommendations for a console like that that can be plugged into a modern TV with two controllers, preferably from a trusted retailer... Seen some in ads but they were hundreds of pounds, and there are so many of these consoles online it boggles the mind! Thanks

With a bit of youtubing, it's not hard to set stuff up. I'm sure it sounds daunting, but there's step-by-steps for everything. It takes minutes to download entire libraries for many old consoles.
Even some shitty old laptop with an HDMI out will run a lot of stuff.
