Is AnaloguePocket for me?

Hello,

Im clearly in the age group this is targeted at but over the years, and after having a family, I’ve lost all of my old cartridges. And while I owned a gameboy, Atari lynx, and GBA, my greatest love was the sega genesis.

Recently I broke out all my mini consoles to give my 8 year old a somewhat more authentic experience than what he’s been getting on the switch.

I never heard of Analogue as a company until I started researching rebuilding my old cartridge collection and how to play the games. I really wish I was paying attention when they did the SNES and genesis consoles, because I would’ve definitely grabbed them. Polymega looks interesting but I digress.

So that brings me to the analogue pocket. While I would love to play some GB and GBA and even lynx cartridges I’d really be happiest playing sega genesis on the go and occasionally through a doc on the TV. Especially if it can play afterburner 2 which most emulators can’t play well. I understand it has the ability to upload “cores” but how well do they run? I built a retro pie years ago and I still have it but some games don’t run well and it feels more novelty than authentic.

So at the end of the day I’d likely use this more for SNES, Genesis and NES than the actual original cartridge intention. What does the group think? Is this for someone like me?
