Hello my name is Calm Cal. Welcome to another video, this video we're taking a look
at the Retro Game 300 which is a handheld retro gaming console this
console has a three inch screen which is 320 by 480 resolution it has an internal
rechargeable battery and supports all these systems here, it comes with a 32
gigabyte SD card and it's very nice to hold in the hands to be honest, it has a
very responsive D pad, 4 controller buttons with an additional two shoulder
buttons on the back, which turns these four buttons into a 6 button controller
it has a start and select button here two additional buttons here a power on
button here, a slot here for your SD card and also a
volume control button here It has an AV socket here also for microphones and also has
your type-c connector here, the battery compartment is easily accessible so a
replacement battery would be easy to install
This comes with an AV lead which when I plugged it in, I couldn't get any video
all I could get was sound through the TV. I'm not sure whether that's a fault with
the lead or the console itself - but that's not what I bought it for anyway
so I'm not particularly bothered. You also get your 5 volt USB to type-c
connector in the box as well. Apart from that, let's have a look at some of
the gameplay!
Ghosts n Goblins one of my favorite video games in the arcade, the screen is
vibrant and the majority of the pre-installed games play really well, there is some
slowdown on some of the CPS2 games but that could be down to compatibility with the roms, the
sound is impressive for this small format with a single speaker, in this grey colour it's
like the gameboy I never had and more, there are other colors and styles available if you
want to stray from the traditional look. For these arcade games I'm not
really used to a d-pad my muscle memory is screaming for a joystick so I
can't quite pull off the joystick tap rapid fire on Ghosts n Goblins but
it is still very playable the controls and buttons are responsive. Also, it's hard to
play this little handheld with a camera in front of it and looking on it at a
side ward angle!
Tetris, What a gem, perfectly so simple, just de-stresses you! Until you
cant get the shape you've been waiting for - for ages! The screen is small,
traditional vertical games are hard to see particularly the monochrome games on
the Game Boy. Game Boy Color and Neo Geo pocket games are still small, but it's a
lot easier to see them in color, it's a shame they could make better use of the overall
screen size.
Amusing beat em up with a sense of humor. I particularly like this bit where we pick them up spin
around and throw em!
Some of the vertical arcade games run horizontal which means having to turn
the console on it's side, this makes it a bit harder to hold and play - but at least
the whole screen is utilized, it will take some getting used to for sure!
But it's a great decision than these classic shooter games have been included
too
Bullet dodging shoot em up with enough over powered weapons that Tony Stark will be jealous
of.
Final Fight another classic. I wont list all the games there are too many, there
are hundreds of games on this system - but I will list the systems that are emulated - in
the video description. Overall I am happy with this purchase most of the games
run really well with only the odd few that don't perform. So, if we want a neat
compact well performing handheld retro gaming console - this is really good.
It has to be one of the best budget ones out there. Incidentally, when I was scouring the internet
this console was mentioned a lot, this one and one other.
The LDK which rather than being in portrait it operates in landscape and look great
in this canary yellow, and sells for a similar price. I haven't got one of these but it is
highly praised also. If you're looking for links Amazon keep dropping me from
their affiliates program - this is due to the low subscribers they say even though
people use them a lot, so if you can please do subscribe and hit the bell for
future videos it will help me and the channel grow. However
you can hit the Amazon Icon on my homepage title banner, this will take you to my Amazon
page where these two devices are listed. Place a like or helpful status there too if
you can. My name's Cal have a good morning, afternoon or good
evening, Farewell till next time, I will see you later.
Thanks for watching and reading 👍
