We may be living in a year that still sounds like the future, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look back on the past with fondness. You don’t have to stop with just looking back though, there are plenty of retro game consoles on the market in 2020 that will let you relive the glory days.

Perhaps the most unique proposition on this list, the Evercade is a handheld device that can be plugged into your TV, but it doesn’t just play one console’s library. As of right now, the Evercade library sits at over 130 games, from publishers like Atari and Namco, spread across different consoles.
