This is great gaming at its core. Its simplicity and all-around great design is great on the eyes. The games that it holds are some of the best that have ever been created. Controller is comfortable and easy to get used to. (And it's incredibly unique) What I noticed right away and actually frogot about as a kid is that when you press power, the game starts right up. There are no menus on the console. It's not an entertainment system; it's a gaming console exclusively. If you like quick start-ups, no loading screens, and pretty graphics, then pick one of these up. They're classic and hard to find for a good price. And the games are also hard to find for good prices, too. Definitely worth some money, though because this is the pinnacle of gaming systems.
