Pandora Boxes - Opinion
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2018 12:25 pm
As much as I'd love to have a standup arcade console, I just don't have the space for it. I've never liked cocktail models to play for long periods. Even a bartop would need a semi-dedicated space.
I'm thinking of getting one of those Pandora boxes from Amazon. They vary in price between about $200 and $300+. I can then hook the box up to a TV and play with arcade style controls. I have an RPi, but don't like using a gamepad to play arcade games. I know that I could build an arcade control, but that would be almost as much as a Pandora. Plus, my woodworking skills suck.
Has anyone used a Pandora box? Do they provide reasonable emulation of arcade games? I'm mostly interested in stuff from the early to mid '80s. Gyruss is a big favourite - so good emulation of that game (including the music) is a plus for me.
Opinions appreciated.
