About this episode

The episode provides an unboxing and first look at the MiniLoong Pocket 1, highlighting its features and performance in the budget handheld gaming market.

We unbox, test and give a first look on the MiniLoong Pocket 1, comparing against similar options. With its modular dpad, and swappable faceplates, this thing is surprisingly slick for the company's first outing. It makes us wonder, who made this? 1GB of ram makes it tough, but otherwise it's showing itself to be a surprisingly solid option in the sub $100 price bracket for 4:3 retro gaming. Strap in, this is going to be the Loong one!
