We saw some questionable “game consoles” while browsing AliExpress, but when we found one that was being sold for about a thousand dollars, we knew we had to buy it. How many pirated games could it possibly hold, and just what do you get when you buy a Kinhank Super Console X G1?

Than a 1030 e-waste
to be fair, Jet Set Radio Future is like, the one good game from that console that hasn’t been ported anywhere yet.
I miss Jet Set Radio Future
Twenty years ago, NHL 94 was pretty much all that I played. I kicked arse even after a Saturday night in the pub and far too many pints of beer. I miss my Sega Mega Drive II. It’s down to this game why a Yorkshireman supports the Habs, loathes the Bruins and laughs at the Leafs.
Today it doenst make sense buying one of these, but some months ago, here in Brazil, this kind of things was such a great deal. i5 laptops with GTX 1650 were sold for about 4000 to 5000 in our currency, while these mini pcs with i9 were about 3000. I bought my Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 5 3550H paired with a 1650 for 5500, while this one is way more powerfull and costs 3000. For reference, 3060 laptops were sold for 7000+. Minimum wage here is 1300/month. Buying one of these is easier considering the wage and time saving money. Unfortunatelly.
I hope you review more cheaper gaming machines from Ali.
Title: who would be stupid enough to buy an pc worth 1000 dollars in aliexpress
Ans- my friend 😂
my friend exactly have same that mini computer ,for the first time is ok to play game, later it has more lagging in game,1000 is way too expensive than the price that my friend bought
With the software on there (retrobox) you might as well get a RasberryPie with RetroPie if you are playing from ps1 and down
of course this is a overpriced mid tier laptop in a shell with retroarch + a trillion games installed. why was I expecting something else?
you can do this yourself for a fraction of the price. linux has lots of "mid tier computers for cheap" videos and you can just install retroarch on top of it. done.
try the soulja boy console
12:27
Wdym? That’s the only Xbox game you need
I saw another youtuber who got that same exact thing for way less, linus got the scummier scammier version
That first game after booting into Batocera was Conrad’s Game of Life and its not a "game" in a traditional sense.
Linus paying 1000 plus several employees wages to get owned at Powerstone.
honestly i don’t think many C64 players have played non-cracked games… The playground trading was strong in them.
@12:40 There are no "good" (just) Xbox games (that aren’t way hell-of too big for what they do).
e.g. https://youtu.be/-yQu2s7_Rc0
My cousin bought a very similar pc with better hardware in the same case for half the price lol…
Buy a used Alienware alpha, load it up, and run it, as it is far cheaper then what they found…
What about the PS3 games?
Yeah wired controllers still exist, wireless is too laggy for fighting games and shmups. Wireless also sucks for FFXI or FFXIV because you’re playing for 8-15 hour sessions and batteries start to become a problem.
Why did you waste your money on this junk? You could’ve donated the money to a competent good charity.
Power Stone was the best game for the Dreamcast!
How in the hell did they not try "3D 3D"????
100,000 games – or even a million – The numbers don’t matter if you’re not going to play them.
It is possible the PS2 in the marketing is PlanetSide 2, a game with the same abbreviation as the PlayStation 2
1:51 The PS1 dual shock controller also had analog face button. 😄
Meirl: I wanna be corn
$10 SSD holy crap lmaooo
good guy who did this
I miss my Dreamcast. Truly brought the arcade to the home.
Something that matters that isn’t getting talked about here is software preservation. These things represent a significant value to software preservation enthusiasts, and it’s unfortunate that people have to resort to piracy to play them because (almost) none of these titles are available anymore through any legitimate means.
Slicon valley
I’d honestly buy the first one. I LOVE RETRO games. Seeing they have Sinclair i yelled YESSS! (Thankfully home alone lol) That would be my main console if i could afford it. Its soooo nice. I never got to own any games growing up and im too poor now to buy what few i can on steam (also no actual gaming computer just a crappy asus laptop.) Id soooooo love to have this.
Watching Linus playing with emulation stuff I tinker with all the time is like seeing Yao Ming walk into my favorite hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant. Like it doesn’t seem that unbelievable, just a strange coincidence.
7:44 There is an i9-9880H, it’s the direct step down from the 9980HK with a 2.3GHz base and 4.8GHz turbo. Those are the only two "new" chips in the 9th gen mobile lineup, with all lower core count chips being direct rebadges of the 8th gen.
Please post the entire list of Amiga games installed
Another thing that kinhank took from somebody else was the image used to load this games. A guy from Brazil called Galisteo made an plug and play image for tv boxes and made it available for free, then kinhank took it and started selling it. They use his layouts, menus, layout graphics and game selection to this day. So that’s a bummer
If it was a reasonable price this actually seems like a good retro gaming box. Would be interesting to see what more modern games they even have on there and how well they ran though.
Someone make a website and put all those games up for free
you know what i cant beleive? he could have gotten the same model pc without the "games" for under 800 CAD
Linus now has to pay for his friends to hang out with him too??
Ngl if you just spent the money to get all of these roms downloaded easily enough.. transfer them to your storage on PC, might be worth.
This is 100% just a money laundering scheme on the other end. All the developmental costs and product pricing help justify the erroneous “profits” that they will get by selling these.
Why are there SO MANY scammers on Aliexpress? If they just put in a bit of effort and were honest half of these sellers would do so well and legitimately.
people who don’t know :
linus who knows:
NHL94 is the most retro Canadian thing ever
I had the cars game on my PS2 and the drive button was one of the analog face buttons. I swear you had to press so hard to get to max speed.
Love the QRCode simulator game!
Can we please start calling disk dumping, "Crapping Disks" from now on. I really want this to be a thing.
