Tech Review: Sega RetroGen


I love my retro games. So much so that I like buying up all of these cool little retro gaming gadgets that have been released in recent years. It seems as companies have let the copyrights on video game consoles expire, opportunistic upstarts have been swooping in to build cooler machines to play that stock of retro games you've got sitting in the closet. These usually fall under one of two categories: An honest attempt to pay tribute to classic games, made by people that genuinely loved the games, or, a hastily thrown together cash grab that will probably break in a year or less. So, does the Sega RetroGen fall into the first or second category.
