New console: 20,000 'classics.' Mostly 'falling block variant 3.

One must truly marvel at the latest offering to the digital deities: a handheld console boasting a staggering 20,000 "classic" games. Clearly, the days of carefully curating a modest library, perhaps even *playing* all of them, are well behind us. We now enter an era where our retro gaming experiences are measured not by enjoyment, but by sheer, unadulterated byte count. One wonders how many of these hallowed titles will be permutations of 'falling block puzzle no. 7' or 'space invader clone, slightly re-skinned'.

The promise of holding "an entire childhood" in one's palm might sound appealing, but one must question the psychological impact of such a deluge. Is comfort truly derived from sifting through 19,999 unknown entries to find that one beloved title, only to discover its emulation is… variable? One can only assume the developers have consulted with various copyright law specialists regarding this veritable digital archaeological dig. Or perhaps they simply chose to embrace the entrepreneurial spirit of the open internet.

At a mere ninety dollars, it’s a veritable steal for anyone whose primary goal is to own the largest possible list of game titles, irrespective of playability or personal connection. Truly, a monument to digital acquisition.
