The list of games is endless and amazing, but that means nothing if you can’t play them. The touch controls are totally useless and sometimes they don’t even work. A controller is definitely needed to play any of the games. Also I kept noticing in the middle of game play my screen freezes for a second then comes back, and it did that on every game I played. Has a lot of the games I used to play which bums me out because I really wanted to like this.

I’m enjoying the wide selection of games and historical curiosities, like being able to compare multiple versions of a particular game. There are some lag issues occasionally but performance is generally ok. Recommendations: Add a “Tate” mode for vertical shooters and other games that used a vertical display, such as dig dug. This should be a no brainer on portable devices that can easily be turned vertically to support these games in their optimal aspect ratio. Add an Apple TV version. Apple TV supports wired connections which will help lag issues immensely, not to mention being able to play these classics on the big screen. Yes, there’s mirror play but it was a choppy unplayable mess for whatever reason, a native app will fix this issue. Add a rewind function! Save states are nice but the lack of a quick load function makes it a pain to use for tricky sections of games. Speaking of which Add a quick load function!

I wish it had contra and all of the old nes games like McKids and as well as devs games like Vikings and nba jams etc…

$4 a month for a ridiculous amount of classic gaming! It definitely works with backbone controllers. Dont believe the nonsense coming from other reviews. Enjoying every moment minute with these classics. Hope they keep adding games.
