sorted byI bought one of these on the most recent offer with much excitement.
However I played with it for half an hour and returned to Amazon. Reasons:
1) Joystick was absolutely terrible for me. Even in simple slow paced games I struggled to properly control the game (it’s exactly the style of joystick I hated and never used back in the late 80s / earlier 90s). I did use another USB pad but the response didn’t feel great with that.
2) Good games were… rubbish. Games I had a great nostalgia for just weren’t that great, graphics are a lot worse than my rose-tinted spectacles tell me!
3) A lot of the included games are rubbish anyway.
So despite only being £25 I found it to be a poor item, and that is coming from someone whose first computing experience was the C64.
Either update the stock firmware -
retrogames.biz/sup…de/
or better still, use a bespoke firmware -
thec64community.online/thr…usb
The bespoke one let's you add games to the carousel, to make it a bit more fancy.

I do remember the joy of unboxing new joysticks I think they were Competition Pro
