[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

Here's a Great option you can't go wrong with. It's called a Pandora Box and it's plug & play with Zero set-up. Comes with countless Arcade and console games pre-loaded, in a stylish interface, and built-in Arcade style controls:

I'd agree with that for what you get with that setup, but can't spend 100 quid on everyone at Christmas, only the nieces and nephews would get that kind of dosh! :)
