My RetroBOSS system arrived today and has honestly created so much excitement! Flawless service from the guys at Retropia getting this out to me so quickly, especially with a custom extra game order as well (which works perfectly by the way). Really really happy with everything, thank you so much guys!

Retro gaming at its best

I thought I had got bored of gaming, then realised I was missing the classic years, pick up and play FUN! Came across Retropia and ordered their Retroboss machine for the full package of what's available and it was delivered lightning quick. Only just had time to have a quick look through and try a few games, but it's amazing, such a wide variety of consoles, computers and arcade machines and associated games. Thanks guys!

WHAT GREAT PEOPLE!!!

I can't speak highly enough of RETROPIA. I own an Odroid box which incidently I didn't even purchase from these people. I contacted them asking for help as I couldn't get it to boot up. They were very patient with me exchanging various emails back and forth. I got my Odroid box up and running again. Just can't thank them enough. Gaming emulation boxes are great and they will get better. When I upgrade to a newer version I will definitely be using Retropia. I've seen reviews about there aftercare when purchasing from them and I can see it must be true as they went out of there way with me. Can't thank them enough.

Full of glorious retro games

Full of glorious retro games. N64 is smooth, and PS1 and PS2 games run at a good rate as well. My only quibble is the XBox controller instead of a Playstation style controller

Absolutely AMAZING product and company!!!

I can’t speak more highly of this company and their product. Not only is RetroBoss an unbelievable machine, with every retro game you can think of, but the team that provide it are even better. They installed games that weren’t on the list with no fuss at all, they told me how install my own games and the after care once I bought the product was next level. I’m blown away! My friends who I have shown the system to are blown away. I can’t recommend this company more highly!

Wow, simply, wow

Wow, simply wow. Ordered retroDROID, on Wednesday, dispatched yesterday, arrives today. Only had a brief shot of it, but, it’s amazing. Can’t wait to try it out longer, tonight. Having now played with the console, since the arrival on Friday. It is fantastic. I cannot believe, the amount of great stuff on the console. I’m loving continental circus, world rally championship, even n64 games like, banjokazooie and conkers bad fur day. Retropia is a totally awesome company

Amazing products

My 2nd review, since I have just upgraded to the BOSS system. Amazing product, good customer service. If you want to play almost every single game since Game & Watch and up to PS2, then this is the system for you. Beautifully curated too as was the DROID.

Retropia is just great!

I've purchased the Rg350 previously from Retropia and have absolutely nothing negative to say about the handheld and about Retropia.

The service was spectacular and was delivered within 2 days of ordering. My package was easily trackable and the delivery instructions were followed to the letter.

I have now this week purchased the Rg351p. I don't need to talk about the handheld as it speaks for itself. I have zero understanding of computers, technology and I can barely operate a smart phone! However the Rg351p was perfect for me because of its simple 'switch it on and play' accessibility.

I wanted something that I didn't have to have an understanding of emulators, operating systems or anything like that but I could just play all my favourite retro games.

The button layout is great and comfortable, the screen resolution is near perfect and the ease of just opening an emulator and finding the game then playing it was exactly what I was looking for and the Rg351p was the one for this.

I received the same fantastic service from Retropia as when I bought the rg350. The ordering from the website was simple and easy, I was emailed a reciept instantly after purchasing along with details on how to return if there was any issues of which there was none.

I even had a question about something and contacted via Facebook messenger. I had a response less than 24hrs later which fully answered my question.

If you're thinking of buying a retro handheld console but are a technophobe like me then the Rg351p is most definitely the one to get. And Retropia are by far the people to get it from.

Fantastic company and fantastic products
