The so-called thumbs Up is an arcade-style mini retro console that has 240 different 16 bit games preinstalled. The small device with joystick, A and B button, a 2,5 inch display and three buttons for start, reset and volume does not cost 25 euros and has good Amazon reviews. With three AA batteries (not included) you can play on the miniature arcade machine and think back to the times of 25 to 30 years ago.

My brother is a real gamer and got the Arcade for Christmas. He thinks it's mega cool and all the games leave him indulging in nostalgia. Definitely a nice gift and can only recommend it.
Blaugrana1984 gives this conclusion under the heading "Cool gadget":
Funny gift idea or decorative object for every geek. Just don't expect well-known or complex games. There's nothing to complain about at this price
Complex games such as RPG adventures or platformers cannot be expected. In addition to a few puzzle titles, there also seem to be sport games such as football and bowling. When it comes to customer questions and answers, when asked whether "Pacman" is on it, this is not the case due to licenses, but similar titles are represented;)
