I've been wanting to play some of the old games that I grew up with for some time but didn't really want to invest in all the consoles and games at massive cost. The Pi is an excellent and cheap way to build yourself a retro gaming monster with more games than you can possibly ever play! Excellent value and great quality bundle.

Great piece of kit, quick delivery - just 2 days to Ireland, quick and easy to setup. Controllers aren't great, but okay for the price, and if you have one its easy to use an xbox or ps4 controller instead.

Having been on youtube and seen a few videos of what one of these babies could do, my birthday came around and purchased myself one.. Not being to tech savy or too knowledgeable about the Rasberry Pi3b+, I soon realised that, what I thought was the correct/compatible software capable of running things seen in the youtube videos, wouldn't work on my variation of the Pi hardware. Sure enough though, after a few posts of the retropie forum, and some very helpful replies from what seems to be a very helpful community.. I was in nostalgia heaven!! I am replaying all the games I loved 20 odd years ago, and also a load of games I was never able to play, in all their glory! Admittedly, it's not perfect, some 3d games don't run quite as well as they did on the consoles of which they originated. However, this is only a minor grumble, and I'm sure in time, emulators will be able to emulate them much better :) To some it up for me, Being able to play Bomberman, NBA jam, micromachines and turtles arcade game (to name a few), all in 4 player mode is worth the price alone in my book :)

The Pi is great, but not so much with the accessories. The controllers are very cheap. All-in-all, it's a great package, but I'd order the parts seperatly next time. This was a gift for my son, but I'm getting myself one as I was impressed by the overall flexibility of the Pi 3B+.

The kit was received really quickly, I had an issue running booting the distro I had installed, but a message to their Facebook page and it was quickly resolved (I needed to use beta software which works perfectly). Would certainly use again, and will probably be doing so for a PiHole build...
