It’s worth noting that there’s also a limited edition variant with a red colour scheme, although this is currently sold out at the time of writing.

Both versions have the same 14 built-in games and are compatible with all of the existing Evercade cartridges via the cartridge slot on the back of the console.

With more than 60 Evercade cartridges released so far, the Neo Geo Super Pocket has the potential to play more than 500 retro games, covering everything from arcade classics and modern indie hits to 16-bit console releases and old-school computer games.

Elsewhere, the Neo Geo Super Pocket features more than 4 hours of battery life, and comes with a USB-C cable for fast charging.

The screen is kind of on the small side, measuring in at just 2.8-inches with a resolution of 320 x 240.

It’s not quite on the same level as the giant Switch 2 LED display, although the £50 price tag more than makes up for it.

You really can’t beat the feeling of truly getting stuck in a book. Not being able to drag yourself away from a story is the best sign that it’s a good one, and for many people, a psychological thriller is their go-to.

If you love a book with an eerie, uneasy plot and heart-wrenching twists and turns, then there’s one that should be on your list. Magpie by Elizabeth Day, which was released in 2021, was described as the ‘most gripping psychological thriller of the year’ on Amazon. And for the month of June, you can get your hands on it for just 99p. 

The book is one of hundreds available on the Kindle store for 99p just now. These deals change every month, so it’s worth checking every now and then to see if there’s anything that catches your eye. 

Magpie follows the story of pregnant Marisa, who is a children’s book illustrator, and her boyfriend Jake, who have just moved into a new home in anticipation of starting their new family.

After suffering through a very troubled past, Marisa thinks her life couldn’t get any better with her new man by her side. That is, until a lodger moves into their property. 

Kate is everything Marisa isn’t – polished, professional and seemingly with no sense of personal space or boundaries. Marisa notices her constantly overstepping the mark at home. Most notably, her unhealthy obsession with Jake and his oblivion to it. 

With alarm bells ringing in her head, Marisa is on a mission to find out exactly who Kate is and what she wants with their family. And when the truth comes out, it’s more traumatising than she ever could have imagined. 

This book is the true definition of a page-turner, guaranteed to keep you hooked with each twist and turn until the very end. Drawing on difficult themes of motherhood, cheating, greed and guilt, it’s no wonder Magpie has such impressive ratings on Amazon, with the average person scoring it four stars out of five.

One person said: “Could not put it down, it gripped me from the first few chapters. Well done Elizabeth Day, beautifully written. I absolutely loved it.”

Another raved: “An original tale with unexpected twists and turns. Wonderfully written to keep you engaged to the end. Will be reading more from this author.”

World War 2 films are often hit and miss. Some are amazing and quickly find themselves at the top of the ‘to watch’ list, while others leave a lot to be desired. But there is one powerful film, based on a true story, that has been called a masterpiece and still ranks among the best more than two decades after it was made.

That would be The Pianist, which tells the true story of Władysław Szpilman, a Polish-Jewish pianist who tries to survive the Holocaust. It was directed by Roman Polanski and stars Adrien Brody in the lead role. The film shows Szpilman’s fight to survive as the Nazis occupy Warsaw. He loses his family, hides in bombed-out buildings, and lives on the brink of death, all while holding onto his love of music.

The movie has a 95% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 96% audience rating from more than 260,000 viewers.

One review called it a “masterpiece of cinematic storytelling” and said it was “a haunting and powerful biographical drama”.

Another said: “OMG, The Pianist is a must-watch. This movie is like a rollercoaster of emotions.

“Adrien Brody gives a mind-blowing performance. He makes you feel every ounce of struggle and hope.”

American film critic Roger Ebert added that Polanski was showing what survival really looked like – not heroic, but painful and full of luck.

As one viewer put it: “The film does not say much most of the time but has the most perfect amount of silence it needs. It flows so elegantly and smoothly yet gives such a great impact.”

Another wrote: “It is a beautiful movie ironically. I felt this movie straight in my heart.”

Richard Schickel from Time magazine called it a “raw, unblinkable film” and praised it for not forcing emotion.

Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle said the film shows “a world of colour bombed into black-and-white devastation”.

Michael Wilmington from the Chicago Tribune called it “the best dramatic feature I’ve seen on the Holocaust experience”.

The film won three Oscars – Best Actor, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay – and took home the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

It also won seven César Awards in France and the BAFTA for Best Film.

Filming took place in Germany and Poland, using real locations and old army buildings to recreate the ruins of Warsaw.

The story was deeply personal to Polanski, who escaped from the Kraków Ghetto as a child and survived the war.
