It’s got Combat, Space War, and Asteroids. It’s a keeper. It also has Haunted House which I played for hours also. I wonder if those ‘retro’ controllers are real 2600 controllers. If so then I see myself dragging out the old 2600 I’ve still got in the closet for some real old school gaming.
From what I’ve seen, they’re real controllers - but made to modern standards so they’re more durable. They’re also compatible with original 2600s - which means old controllers (paddles, etc) work on this box too.
This is too cool. I read over on classicgaming that you can pop the case and wire up a cartridge port. Time to start scavenging the goodwill and salvies for retro entertainment.
