I collect retro consoles, and these are the best Cyber Monday deals I'd recommend - hurry, these deals are still available.

I already own an Evercade EXP, the Limited Edition no less, which is why I'd recommend this retro console to anyone on Cyber Monday; if you love collecting and playing classic video games this retro handheld really is the best console. And you know, the deal is still live! I'd definitely grab this offer while you can.

At Amazon right now you can get the Evercade XP for £129.99 £112.36, the first time a new boxed edition has been reduced since launch. US readers can pick up the same Evercade XP bundle for $149 137.99, which is a small discount (and it was cheaper in October), so instead I'd recommend the brilliant Miyoo Mini for $79.99 $63.99 - a very good 20% saving.

Save 24%: I've had my eye on the Taito EGRET Ⅱ mini ever since it launched, so I'm buying this deal. It's never been this cheap before. With 40 classic Taito games, a sturdy 6-button arcade joystick and HDMI for TV support, it's perfect. (Second hand ones sell for £250 plus.)

Evercade VS Premium: £109.99 £97.99 at Amazon Save 11%:

Evercade VS Premium: £109.99 £97.99 at Amazon
Save 11%: This is the under-TV version of the Evercade EXP, so not a handheld but more of a traditional console. It comes with two controllers and plays cartridges of classic games (the same ones as the Evercade EXP). The Premium edition comes with two cartridges - Technos Arcade 1 and Data East Arcade 1. It's a small discount, and I prefer the EXP, but for two-player couch gaming its good fun.
