Quite good for 25 squids.

Had a go on one of these at GameStars - but for ?25 you'd be better off trawling a car boot. It plays *ok*, not great, but it's a nice little idea.

The Tetris one, however, is a crock of ****. Avoid like a plague-ridden pig.

I was at Gamestars too, am I correct in saying the PAL version of this still has massive borders?

This time they're black instead of blue on Sonic, though...

TBH, can't really remember any borders - but I've never really been that fussed about them. I'm still impressed that I can play games using this new-fangled electricity stuff...

Got this from Argos for ?9.99. Its listed in the sale book at ?14.99 but when you punch it in the stock checker it comes up as a tenner. Well worth it at that price. Pretty cool little gadget. It was a blast playing Altered Beast again with that American Werewolf sample!

BTW there is a Tetris 2 player one that plugs in the telly for the same price

Probably a better deal at a tenner (fair play argos!) - definitely worth a blast, if only for Kid Chameleon!

It wouldn't be the full retro experience without huge borders on the PAL version.
