Our quick take

PlayStation Classic - 3.5 / 5

Smaller by design

  • 45 per cent smaller than the original 720p video through HDMI 4:3 presentation for games

Bare bones menu system

  • Virtual memory card built-in for saves Physical reset button on console

Coming up a little short

  • 2 x USB DualShock controllers 1.5 metre cables

All about the games

  • 20 games pre-installed Support 1 and 2 players

To recap

A splendid slice of mid-90s gaming fun that comes with a great selection of games, but it’s not perfect. It really needed Wipeout, Tony Hawk and one of the Gran Turismos to round it off. Nevertheless, it’s still a tech treat a retro games fan will thoroughly enjoy.
