For the last few years, Analogue Inc. has been making a name for themselves as a top-tier purveyor of high-end clone console hardware. Clone consoles aren't something we've covered much here at Retro Handhelds. Rather than taking an emulation-based approach to classic...

And now for something completely different! The GUN4IR project is retro, and you technically hold it in your hand, but it's definitely not a retro handheld. If you'll allow us this brief side excursion, we recently were able to test out this system and felt that it...
