  • I have an Anbernic RG556 and we just got our kids (9 & 11) Retroid Pockets.

    If I’d did it again, I’d have gotten myself a Retroid instead, but it was a close call, I just like the Retroid software choices a tiny bit more, though the Anbernic is very comfortable to play.

    As an aside, when we gave our kids the pockets, I put 5 games on it and put a big “price*” on getting new games. Right now they are working through some classic Game Boy carts.

    *-Think chores, et al. I’m trying to recreate the experience of having limited games unless you saved up to buy a new one. I also make them do one smaller task if they want to call the “helpline” since there was a cost to call the Nintendo Power helpline that I had to cover if I wanted to call.
