Holy cow! You live! Long time no see!

I've tooled with the Retron off and on when time allowed. I have the newer version that Tanooki mentions. So far it's worked well from what I tried. I don't use the included controller except for the system menu and such. I can't find a bit of lag in the controls and the imagery looks pretty crisp on a good LCD tv. Only hiccup I ran into came in the form of playing some repros I have and even original titles like Armed for Battle. Either they don't work (Armed for Battle) or they glitch (my copy of Penguin Dreams).

Another grand thing about it is you can also do save states, which is great for games you don't want to scribble down passwords for or want to continue playing if there isn't a save feature.

I'd say for convenience factor I'd get one. For me I'd rather play my games on the big screen than on my Commodore monitor.
