Chinese manufacturers decided to remind the adult generation about TV entertainment in the last century. Portable game consoles called Game Stick have appeared in stores. However, unlike ancient bulky devices, this gadget is miniature and very easy to control.
Game Stick: what is it
Subor, Dendy, and other similar consoles were popular in the early 1990s. The ancestors of modern computers were equipped with 8, 16, and 32-bit processors and did not have permanent writable memory. Games were supplied on separate cartridges, and the device itself came with two wired joysticks.
Game Stick is an analog of the above-mentioned 8-bit consoles. Only slightly upgraded. The gadget works directly with the TV via HDMI port. According to manufacturers, the console can transmit images in 4K format. Joysticks connect to the Game Stick via Bluetooth.
As a result, the user gets the same functionality, only in a more compact size and with maximum convenience. Besides TVs, the game console can be connected to monitors and projectors with the appropriate HDMI port. The gadget comes with a USB cable used for powering the device.
How to use Game Stick effectively
We learned about the console by chance. While waiting for our turn at the dentist, a familiar joystick caught our attention. The assistant explained that it is an interesting gadget that distracts children from stress before visiting the dental office. And you won’t believe, the stress relief effect also applies to adults. Upon returning home, the gadget was immediately ordered from a Chinese online store.
In general, the doctor’s idea is interesting. The inexpensive Game Stick console is a real find for small businesses and large companies. Watching TV shows and reading magazines can be dull while waiting in the office of a politician, doctor, makeup artist, hairdresser, or other professional. Not to mention scrolling through news feeds on social media. But the Game Stick console is a completely different story. Hundreds of popular childhood games will lift anyone’s mood.
Advantages and disadvantages of Game Stick
Undoubtedly, the existence of such a wonderful gadget is its greatest advantage. Without a doubt, anyone who experienced 8-bit consoles will enjoy playing their favorite childhood games.
The Game Stick gadget can be taken with you on a business trip or travel. At the end of the day, sitting in front of the hotel TV, you can cheer yourself up with your favorite game. Or entertain a child who is not yet ready for a computer but no longer wants to play with static toys.
The only drawback of the console is its limited game library. If anyone remembers, there were cartridges (included) with 999 games. Well, the Game Stick has all these games onboard. The only interesting game we managed to find for playing was Contra. Maybe we missed some others. But after a long search, we couldn’t find “Prince of Persia,” “Chip ‘n Dale,” or “Home Alone.” Perhaps they need to be purchased separately or downloaded from somewhere.
