Im looking for a cheap console to get and collect for that dosent cost a arm/leg but also isint boring with the game section. I have a few consoles and handhelds from when i was a kid but i want something that i can stick with and not let collect dust?

Would the evercade count? Sure its mostly a retro emulation console/handheld but its cheap and the games are physical, licensed and come with manuals.

ooh, that's a tough sell. I absolutely love my Evercade, but the library is hard to get. If you don't snap up a popular new release, it's likely to vanish forever. Major FOMO.

as long they aren't marked as legacy, they ought to be reissued, especially those.

I wish I had snagged both Lynx Collections :(

Yeah, for me it was Technos Collection 1. :(
