Great overview of the handheld devices. Very interactive and very good at engaging the participants. We all felt that after this that we could repair a gameboy. Well worth the money and time spent!

It was a TON OF FUN! Definitely worth every penny. The guides were friendly and experienced in their craft. They made the experience for me and my sister a memorable one. If anyone is a retro gamer or just feeling nostalgic, def book a session with these guys!
