It's a little android stick and they have a bunch of collections, most in the same form factor.  I know that the pac-man version at least, uses the arcade versions of the games.  I just thought for a mere 20 dollars you've got a self contained, self-powered unit that comes with a wireless controller.  Hack in some arcade controls to the pad and it'd make a nice little gift for some of the muggles in your family.

The number of legal retro consoles is too damn high.

I don't see that as a bad thing.  Anything to keep the hobby alive and when the normal people get sick of their novelties it goes back to the second hand market where we can pick them up for peanuts.

I've been hoping to find one of those Atari Flashback handhelds cheap at a second hand store.  Target doesn't even seem to discount them.

And yeah I agree with you about anything to keep the hobby alive.  That's probably why I like those new mini Arcade 1UP cabinets despite their many flaws.

Grasshopper:
A word of warning, there appears to be two versions of the Pacman handheld in circulation, one with arcade ROMs, and another with NES ROMs! From what I gather the NES version is vastly inferior.
