The console is a non-official product, sturdy construction, nice controllers, nice button feel, a huge range of games from the 80s and 90s.
Most games run smoothly, except for some 3D titles that struggle (NBA Jam, Mortal Kombat).
There are many different versions with different processors and game lists, so before deciding to buy, do your research, see if the game list interests you, and buy the corresponding version.
For a price of around 100 euros or more, it's okay. For something more expensive, it's better to invest your money in something more powerful.

Complete disappointment. I opened it, connected it to the television, randomly put in a game (Sonic) which kept freezing to the point where you simply couldn't play, and after 1 minute it showed me a message that it doesn't recognize the SD card. I tried for 10 minutes, opening and closing it and taking out and putting in the card, but nothing. Literally wasted money. Products without the slightest quality control, just garbage. Are you guys who sell them, all good?

  Honest console for playing MAME games. You can't play games from consoles (e.g., ps1, snes) with the retro stick. The MAME games are essentially 600-700, the rest in the catalog are repeated. Chinese tricks. They could have filled the storage space with all the MAME ROMs, which are over 7000

  I bought it too. Overall, everything is good for its price. However, unfortunately, all the games are in a difficult version compared to the original arcade. Honestly, I don't understand the reason

  It's great for its price! Okay, don't expect i7 12xxx performance in 3D games, but it does its job perfectly fine in classic games. The only thing that bothered me is that consoles like this usually connect to the PC via USB and give you two arcade joysticks, but this one doesn't.

  Without the store that sold it to me being at fault at all (on the contrary, their service was excellent), I can say that with this Chinese product they advertise as an "authentic arcade experience" as they write on the box, I have had a terrible experience! Wanting to give it as a gift for the celebration of a very dear person to me, I bought it for 150 euros and we found out that as soon as we opened it, the joystick of the second player was broken. (I will explain more about this below.) Okay, I thought, it can happen, it happens even with higher quality products. Back to the store for an exchange, the people there gave me a brand new one in its box. I gave it to my friend, who I know is extremely careful with all his belongings like me, and after a month of very light usage, the joystick broke again, this time the 1P joystick. Back to the store again for an exchange, and to discuss what can be done in general... the people there again exchanged it for a new one, and even for a more advanced (and more expensive) model without me having to pay the difference (with better hardware, for example, some ROMs like NBA JAM and Mortal Kombat used to lag a lot on the old one, while they play perfectly on the new one...). Here I should mention that in both cases, what broke was not exactly the joystick, but the thin PLASTIC (!) base on which the entire joystick mechanism is screwed on the top part of the console (if you open it - it's very easy, you just unscrew 2 screws - you will understand). I discussed the problem at the store, asking if it is possible to buy some spare parts, in case it happens again, so I can fix it myself with my own additional cost, but they told me that Pandora doesn't provide them with any spare parts, that the joysticks generally don't break, what happened to me is rare (but such bad luck, really?), and if it happens again, I should try to glue (!) the base on which the joystick is screwed with epoxy (!!!!!!!) All of this because the Chinese who made it decided to use a thin plastic plate instead of a metal one to screw the mechanism on... In short, my opinion is that this is very cheap work, Chinese work in all its negative sense, and it is definitely not worth the 150 euros they ask for!!!! So far, the third console that my friend has in his hands hasn't broken, but when it comes to an arcade stick for playing arcade games, you shouldn't have to worry about accidentally pulling the joystick a little harder, I think that negates the whole philosophy of the console and destroys the atmosphere you long to relive from your childhood... ...At this point, I should mention that abroad you can buy the same console, if you search for it a lot, for almost one third of the Greek price, but I chose to buy it here to make it easier for servicing if something comes up (as if I knew!!!!) My final advice is as follows: if someone is seriously interested (SERIOUSLY) in retro gaming and wants to buy an arcade stick with ROMs that they can really... bash as much as they want and enjoy it, in my opinion (without having verified it), they should stay away from Chinese products... I give it 2 stars instead of one, just in case I fell into the exception and was so unlucky... Thank you and I apologize if I bored you with my lengthy review.

  The console is very good and seems durable, although I didn't expect it. Honest for its price.
