Old Skool Classiq 3 HD 720p 3 in 1 Video Game System, Black Compatible with SNES/NES Nintendo and Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis cartridges

I have had Old Skool’s Classiq system for a week now, and am thoroughly pleased with my purchase!Positives: The system works without fault, minus off course the occasional user blowing to clean the carts/the cart dock. The design is sleek and reminiscent of the SNES design, also the light feature is nifty and works well. The system comes with the full package, including an HDMI hook-up, and ACV cables depending on the TV that you are using. The picture quality is pristine and looks great in either format size. It is compatible with Galoob’s Game Genies, Nintendo’s Super Game Boy adapter, and home brew games! I’ve been able to play Metroid: Rouge Dawn, on a reproduction cartridge. Not to mention it includes a regional adapter switches for foreign cartridges! The SNES region switch is located on the underside of the system,unlike the others, which is odd, but I’m not playing with foreign cartridges often, so it doesn’t affect me.Negatives: A few issues that I have with this system are this. The controllers that it came with are okay, but I purchased Hyperkin’s reproduction ergonomic controllers for each of the ports, (available on Amazon), and are the perfect replacement. Also, the individual game slots sometimes seem to hug the cartridges a little tight, and will take a little brute force, and gentle rocking it from side-to-side to get it out. The system is “sturdy” but the plastic does feel a little flimsy, especially in the center, they could have reenforced it a little. Something that I have also purchased to help extend the life of the system, is 1up’s cartridge cleaning kit so that the cart dock stays clean.I hope this review was helpful, happy gaming!

Ran Sega genesis, snes and nes game no problem has ports for the original controllers which is nice since the ones in the box feel cheap.

Awesome product. Works great and i love the look!

I got mine to play a small collection of cartridges but I recently discovered homebrew modded games so it's been quite the journey with this thing, now I'm messing with a new N64 console, gotta love retro

I love my speaking for myself

Everything you need to hook it up is in the box It plays Genesis and Nintendo game without any problems

Excellent console. Plays all my catridges. Other reviews have indicated some carts do not work. If you try to play a game and it doesn't work then make sure the region is set correctly since it could be set for PAL.****IMPORTANT NOTICE: When you get the console, make sure it uses a USB-C power input. This is my 2nd console because I was shipped an older model using a micro USB power input. If you get the micro USB version then send it back and demand a new one; micro USB is notorious for failing at some point.Giving 5 stars for the USB-C version.

Bought the Old Skool Classiq HD III after much research vs. RetroBit, etc. for the kids for Christmas. Since i bought it in October, but did not open it til end of December, no Amazon warranty. Cleaned up some old 8-bit games and they worked perfectly via the HDMI cable for a while. I had to start resetting the game, wiggling it a little, etc. to get it to start up. Then it started failing mid-game for no particular reason. I swapped the cables, tried all the different settings, ran it direct to the TV (instead of through the receiver - which sounds awesome by the way)... checked the 72-pin connector (it's fine, looks like new), tried different cartridges, anything. There is no video signal coming from the unit to the TV for the 8-bit Nintendo slot. The others ones seem to throw a signal (TV switches input automatically), but I don't have Genesis of SNES games to test. We used it maybe 9 or 10 times, it was never bumped, pulled off the shelf, or damaged in any way. It's plugged into a audiophile level surge protecting power source. The unit just failed and is now bricked (and kids are bummed.)I reached out for product support via the order details, which led me to Old Skool directly. They responded to my detailed emails w boilerplate responses showing (did you check the NTFC v PAL switch? - yeah.) Then they claimed that they "don't sell through Amazon" and had no responsibility for this unit. Note the listing has the seller "Old Skool" and the product support link went to them. Tons of help!In summary, the product is very cool. It was magical plugging in the old games and seeing them on the new TV. It's very poorly built though, feels fragile and light in your hands, and perhaps there is some soldering issue or something else. Expect zero support if it breaks outside of the Amazon warranty period of 30 days. I gave them every opportunity to provide even a little guidance on a fix before posting this review. I suggest looking to another product for your classic gaming needs. These are not build well, cost $100, and the company does not stand behind its products.
