Very cool idea, but $129 is kind of pricey considering we're talking 1980s technology.

Yeah, that price tag is kind of bugging me, especially after the NES Classic, SNES Classic, and Playstation Classic were all $100 or less and had more built-in games. The ability to play 7800 and 2600 carts is cool, though.

I think the ability to play carts is part of why this is over $100, that takes a lot more hardware than just an emulation box does.
