The Super Retro Trio Is Three Classic Consoles In One
With my children rapidly approaching gaming age, I want their introduction to my favourite pastime to begin with the classics — NES, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. The Super Retro Trio, coming later this year from Innex and Retro-bit, handles games from all three of those systems for a mere $69.99. That will look so lovely in their bedroom.
