Even more confusing than the retron 77 are the consoles that play roms only, and are dedicated to a specific console for some odd reason.
In this age of the Raspberry Pi and other micro computers, it seems silly to buy MULTIPLE crummy plastic boxes that each play roms for just ONE console when you could have a ONE little plastic box that plays games from virtually EVERY retro console.
As far as the Retron 77 goes, I should specify that I think it's a dumb idea when you consider the price. It's waaaaaay too expensive for something that caters to a VERY small portion of the retro community, let alone have the ability to attract non-Atari collectors/gamers. It's just too damned pricey. We're talking niche of nice.
I heard about this the other day. I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea, but it seems to me that there are many other systems out there that they could replicate with much more demand. I get that some systems are more difficult to do than others, but still.
Yes.
Yes yes yes.
