Orb - Retro Mini Arcade Machine (240 Games)

The size of this thing genuinely surprised me when it arrived - it's small but feels really well made. The 2.5 inch screen is perfect for the form factor and the 8-bit games look great on it. Fired it up straight out of the box, no faff at all. A proper little gem for £29.99.

Bought this as a birthday gift for my brother who grew up gaming in the 80s. He was thrilled with it. Said the 8-bit games brought back loads of memories. The fact it needs no Wi-Fi or downloads made it really easy to just hand over and play. Delivered quickly and packaged really well too.

Grew up in the arcade era and this hits all the right notes. The visuals are exactly as I remember and having 240 games to work through is brilliant. The built-in speaker sound is decent for the size of it too. Small enough to pop in a bag and take anywhere. Absolutely love it.

Was a bit sceptical but the 2.5 inch screen is actually really clear and the colours are vivid. Th games look great on it. My kids have been hogging it all weekend. No Wi-Fi or downloads needed which is a massive plus, just switch it on and you're away. Really impressed.

I collect retro gaming stuff so I know what to look for. The build quality on this is really solid, the 2.5 inch LCD is sharp, and the 8-way joystick has a proper satisfying click to it. 240 games keeps things fresh. It sits perfectly on my shelf alongside my other retro pieces. Highly recommend.
