The short version
- Every few weeks, possibly in denial, I’ll skim through the shops to see what budget games kit actually looks like in this day and age.
- There is one exception, assuming you don’t fancy your luck on the secondhand market , but giving it a hands-on appraisal means confronting an ancient hardware foe of mine.
- And you all know how little I like to have my prejudices challenged.

Why it matters
Not as conceptually good as desktops or handhelds, obviously.
