EGRET II MINI
As Simon Parkin recounted in examination of the Japanese arcade scene, it’s become increasingly difficult to get hold of aimpress your friends. Taito’s Egret II Mini is a dinky solution to the problem, presenting a lovingly compiled selection of vintage hits on hardware with responsive controls and, crucially, the same screen-rotation option as its parent. If you can stretch to it, the Game Center Blue Edition is a collector’s dream.
