How many games are included?

The system ships with a preloaded card holding over 800 games, already inserted in the back of the console. The mix is mostly early arcade and console titles, many of them obscure.

The console, two wired controllers, a power plug, an HDMI cable and the preloaded game card. No cartridges or extra purchases are needed to start playing.

Does it work with modern TVs?

It connects over HDMI, so it works with most modern TVs. Set the TV to the correct HDMI input and the console boots straight into the game menu.

How does it compare with official mini consoles?

It offers far more games and a save feature at a lower build quality. Official mini consoles have fewer, better-curated titles and nicer controllers.

Why does Tetris appear at startup?

That screen usually means the game card is not seated firmly. Reseat the card in the back of the console and power it on again.

Our take on the Old Arcade Retro Classic Game Console

The Old Arcade Retro Classic Game Console is a plug-and-play HDMI console with two wired controllers and a preloaded game card holding over 800 early arcade and console titles. It is aimed at nostalgia buyers and families who want simple multiplayer play without cartridges or downloads. Its save feature, which lets you store progress from the first controller, is rare among cheap retro plug-and-play boxes, though the games are emulated classics with dated graphics and sound. Build quality and controller feel are basic compared with name-brand mini consoles, and the game list leans on filler.
