Those who may not be familiar with using emulators to play retro games, or have never used an HDMI stick to play games, need not worry, as the order also includes a handy instruction manual to help you get set up for the first time. Despite this, the plug-and-play design of the device means that there isn’t much setup required, giving players more time to stick into some classic games.

Currently, there are no reviews avialable for the 4K HDMI Retro Game Console, however, customers should note that it has a focus on more classic games. Therefore, if you would rather play more modern titles, you may want to look at something a little different.
