Hello,

Hoping some of you could take a few mins and point me in the right direction. My 8 year old kid would like some kind of games console for Christmas. I would like to get him a something like an old Sega or SNES. Something that comes with a selection of games and the kit needs to be plug and play. I was thinking of buying one of these 2 options below:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073BVHY3F/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A208DHCOHLS70F&psc=1

Are these what I should be looking for? Is there something better out there?

Thanks,

WM

The Sega one you linked is not very good, it's basically unofficial and has a few problems with sound etc.

The snes one is absolutely fine, nice selection of games, plug and play, no problems. I'd recommend it.

There's a different mini megadrive you can get that's much better, but I don't have one to comment on.

I'll probably be sticking up one of those snes consoles on the marketplace later (at the top of this forum section). Brand new and unopened, and I'll be selling it for a damn sight less than 120 sterling

Whatever about whether or not these sorts of offerings are what you are after, ditch the above linked Sega offering (At@Games products are poor as a general rule of thumb) for the official Sega Megadrive Mini.

Edit: I have both the above (and the Nintendo NES mini too); I like both and whilst both have some solid games offereed, the Megadrive Mini has more. So between that and my being a biased Megadrive fanboi, I'll recommend the Megadrive mini.
