You didn't forget these games. You just put them down.
Somewhere between the first job and the mortgage, the console went in a box. The games didn't go anywhere.
Two seconds after the title screen loads, your thumbs remember the inputs before your brain does. That's the whole product.

Fifteen systems. One handheld.
Arcade and MAME · Capcom Play System 1, 2 and 3 · Sega Naomi · PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 · Famicom / NES · Super Famicom / Super Nintendo · Nintendo 64 · Game Boy, Color and Advance · Nintendo DS · Mega Drive / Genesis · Dreamcast · Neo Geo AES and MVS · Neo Geo Pocket · PlayStation · PlayStation Portable
The 8- and 16-bit systems run smoothly, and that is the bulk of the library. The later 3D systems ask more of the hardware — most well-known titles play well, a few of the heaviest do not. We would rather tell you now than after.

Kevin S.
Best gift ever
Received it as a gift from my gf. Instantly fell in love with this portable console — it's like holding my childhood in the palm of my hand.
Stephan T.
A must
Took this little gem on a long flight, and wow, time flew. Every game is a cherished memory. It's my new travel must-have.
Ron D.
Skeptical at first
I was skeptical, but this made me realise how lucky we were back in the day, when games were made to be fun and didn't cost a kidney.
The gift that actually gets used
Most presents get one polite go and then a drawer. This one goes in a coat pocket and comes back out on the train, on the sofa, on the flight.
It arrives ready to play — nothing to set up, no account to make, no cable to hunt for. Buying early for a birthday or Christmas? You still have 120 days to change your mind.

Questions people ask first
Anything else, email us — we answer 7 days a week.
Does it need Wi-Fi or an account?
No. Every game is already on the memory card, so it works completely offline. No sign-up, no download, no update — switch it on and play.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 6 hours of play on a full charge on the classic 8- and 16-bit systems, which is the bulk of the library. The heavier 3D systems draw more. It recharges in under 2 hours over USB-C.
Is the game I want on it?
Search for it in the box further up this page. If it is not listed, email hello@cogistick.com and we will check the card before you order.
When will my order arrive?
Dispatched within 24 to 48 hours, then 5 to 8 business days in transit — so most orders land 6 to 10 business days after you order. Shipping is free worldwide.
Will I pay customs or import duties?
No. The price at checkout is the price you pay. Nothing to settle on the doorstep.
What if I change my mind?
You have 120 days from delivery for a full refund, change of mind included. No questions, no restocking fee, and we pay the return postage.
