I’m a retro gaming expert and you can pick up one of my favorite notebooks for under £50/$55

On By Yukito

Having been writing about gaming since the late 1980s, I have as much love for old consoles and games as I do for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. I even have a large collection of original machines and retro reissues, including a multi-game gaming console that I built with a Raspberry Pi 4.

This makes me a sucker for bargains on retro arcade games, so I’m always on the hunt for bargains, even if it’s not during a big sale period like Black Friday. This led me to discover this great deal on the Anbernic RG35XX – one of the multi-emulator laptops I already own.

Featuring thousands of games from a wide variety of classic platforms, it’s currently under £50 in the UK and $55 in the US – it’s a real bargain. However, there is no telling when the contract may expire, so I recommend taking advantage of it while you have the chance.

As I mentioned earlier, I already own an RG35XX, which I always keep in the top drawer of my desk for quick gaming sessions.

It runs Linux, has a 3.5-inch color iPS display, and comes with an Anbernic user interface, giving you access to many thousands of games that can be played via multiple console emulators. This includes the Game Boy, SNES, NES, Mega Drive, PC Engine, and coin-operated slot machines.

Dual system support means you can run Garlic on it too. You can also easily add your own game ROMs.

The pocket-sized mobile device can even be connected to your TV via the HDMI port, so you can play games on a larger screen as well.

Treat yourself too

If you want to protect your Anbernic RG35XX when it arrives, you should also consider getting a carrying bag. Luckily, one of them also has a discount.

While you don’t have to be an Amazon Prime member to get the discounts above, you’ll find additional deals on retro games under Amazon Lightning Flash Deals that are exclusive to subscribers.
