CNET praised the device’s “insane array of controller options,” while warning that some games you may remember fondly have actually aged pretty poorly.

Although there are no detachable controllers, the 7-inch screen is larger than that of the original Nintendo Switch and it has the classic D-pad and shoulder buttons as well as a rotary dial, physical number pad and trackball wheel. It comes with a sturdy kickstand, an HDMI port, three USB-C ports, a headphone jack, and a micro-SD slot for side-loading games. While you can update the system via built-in wifi, you can’t purchase or download additional titles from an app store, limiting you to preloaded games.

That said, there are still a ton of options to choose from that will likely include your favorites, which makes the My Arcade Atari Gamesstation Go It’s worth it for fans of classic games, especially at $50 off.
