Avoiding the reddit like pessimism and cynicism of the other comment...

This is an fpga recreation of the turbo duo. It's capable of playing original pc engine, turbografix16 games, as well as cd games and the six (Six!) Super graphics games.

Why does fpga matter? It means the games run as close to as they were at launch, including the as close to zero lag as possible for a modern display (and actually zero ms lag when it has dac support).

If you don't have any original tg/pce games, then this likely isn't something you will care about. If you do, this is likely going to be the best way to play your game collection for the foreseeable.

It's a turbo grafix 16 and PC engine retro console.

Saved you a click.

Which is actually extremely competitive for what it is, it'll probably go up in price in a year

Ok I wasn’t try to make a judgement about the price. I’m not really in the market for something like this. I was just curious, and figured others would be too.

Analogue is doing the lord's work. Software is easy to copy infinite times but hardware isn't prevalent or going to last forever.

I hope someday things like this will end up at a more commodity price
