    Like its a game simulating real life. I thought the point of it all was to escape reality?

    ++ on the Sega Game Gear! I could get through Mortal Kombat just before it died. Only reason it couldn’t unseat the Game boy was that batt life. Faster processor, better graphics, backlit screen, color… But that battery life was akin to those mini RC CHOPPERS THEY SELL at the mall. Lol.

    I think thats why i don’t remember much of it, the “mom, i need more battery’s” line must have gotten old real fast.

    I suck at chess against the computer. I need to read my dads chess books. And I mainly play Pokemon. My roommate thinks I’m crazy, but I judge him for playing animal crossing so we’re even lol

    I play on my old Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S3 when I have to wait only. In waiting rooms or waiting for the kids in my car for example.
    Playing 4 Pics 1 Word or an old game I love and remember from my childhood: Z by Bitmap Brothers … it´s so cool 😎

    Back around 1998-2000 when I was an EMT-B, I had a Palm Pilot and I would play Backgammon on it. I used to have backgammon on my Motorola E (2nd gen.), but I found it as annoying as the Palm version so I deleted it. On both games, once you started to win a given game, then the computer would start rolling doubles – a lot, or on my rolls, one die would come up as 1 frequently. I have some version of solitaire on my phone now, but that is about it.

    I’ve got a Pandora for EDC gaming. It’s a full Linux workstation in a form factor slightly larger than a Nintendo DS. It’s got a high res 5″ OLED screen, full keyboard, built-in wifi, Bluetooth, two USB ports on the back and two SD card ports in the front. It’s amazing for gaming – tons of great games run natively (Quake 1,2,3, Half-Life, Jedi Knight 2 and 3, etc), and there are many emulators for other hardware platforms. I’ve got emulators installed for PS1, PSP, Nintendo (original, super nintento, Nintendo ds, Nintendo 64), most of the Sega consoles, an Arcade machine emulator, DOS box, many more. The cool thing about it is that it’s also got a ton of useful application software – MS Office suite (Libre Office), FileZilla, putty, Blender (3d modeling), WireShark (network monitoring), etc. I actually used it the other day to set up a Cisco UCS cluster. It’s a few years old now, I think a new more powerful model is coming out this year.

    I remember the pandora when they were working on it. I followed the building process, it was a limited production back then. It was gonna be the next big thing after the gp2x handhelds. It’s good to see it is still allive and kicking and being used.

    Not a tech guy by any means but that sounds wizard. That means I could download emulators and play all the awesome old games that don’t work in my house

    It’s a great little machine. If you don’t mind the small keyboard you can use it to do anything you would on a laptop, and the gaming controls are brilliant. D-Pad, analogue nubs for joystick/mouse functionality and shoulder buttons. It runs at 1 GHz (I overclocked mine to 1.2 GHz – no issues) and has 1 GB of RAM, which has been sufficient. The TV-out cable is a custom job that attaches to composite or s-video on your tv. The new version will be released this fall – multi-core processor, 2 or 4 GB of RAM, Wifi and LTE, plus an HDMI port on the back to connect to a TV or monitor. I’m hoping this will give the devs enough horsepower to start porting things like a PS2 emulator… It’s all community supported and open source. If you google the Pyra handheld you’ll find it.

    Pandoras look nice. I really wish the iControlPad 2 kicked off. Same/similar layout as the Pandora but it’s bluetooth for phones. Died after kickstarting due to some manufacturing issue. I cannot stand touchscreen controls but the smartphones have been increasing computing power at an amazing pace. Just needs some physical buttons put back on.

    John, how about battery in Pandora with overclocked CPU?
