Man, there are a lot of NES, SNES, GBA, Sega Genesis and Neo Geo emulators out there. And wouldn't you know it... most of them come from Asia. Indeed the mid to late 80s and early 90s represented the golden age of gaming, with the console gaming market managing to come up with hit after hit. Super Mario was born, Zelda was born, Metroid, Contra, Donkey Kong, and that's just to name a few.
Even to this day people still play games from that era and find them to be not only fun packed but also just as attractive as they were back when we didn't have PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360 and the computer was still in infancy stages. It is for those people that play Super Mario even today that this device is meant for. The Pocket Retro Game Emulator is yet another emulator of 8 or 16 bit consoles; however, it looks and acts good enough to be considered more than just another poorly designed device meant to squeeze money out of the careless buyer.
This gadget is good enough to be actually worth a second look at. It comes with 4GB of internal storage (expandable of course via mini SD), has a 2.8-inch LCD screen, TV output through the included composite cables, built-in speakers and a battery that offers six to eight hours of runtime on a single charge.
Of course, like any other self respecting portable emulator, it has support for FLV, WMV, ASF, RM, AVI, MPEG, MP4, RMVB, SWF formats (noticing no MKV), MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC formats, as well as the possibility to view JPG, BMP, GIF and PNG images or read e-books thanks to the e-book reader with text-to-speech function.
The 99 USD price might make some change their mind and, frankly, I don't blame them. For this sum, you can get a PS2, but then again 99 USD is not that much.
We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed. Interesting links are bound to be posted with recognition going mainly to those who submit. The address is
