Best Retro Consoles 2021

There were Genesis kids (like me) and Nintendo kids growing up in the 90s. But was anyone a TurboGrafx kid? Probably not. Please let me know in the comments below if you were, I have so many questions.

Either way, there’s a good chance that you missed out on the TurboGrafx-16 from NEC, and all of the games it brought to market. While the console was overpriced and ultimately unsuccessful, it doesn’t mean the console or its games were bad. In fact, quite the opposite, there’s a ton of great retro games that can be enjoyed on it, and far more easy to obtain TurboGrafx-16 Mini allows you to get a taste of what it would have been like to own the original console.

Usually retailing for a couple of hundred dollars (although sometimes it’s marked up as well because of Covid-19 related shortages) you can get access to classic games such as both Bonk’s Adventure and Revenge, various classic Bomberman games, Galaga, Fantasy Zone, Splatterhouse, and many more.

If nothing else, too, it’s just a really cool piece of gaming history to have hanging around, just to say you’ve covered all of your bases when it comes to gaming in the ’90s.
