Over on Boing Boing Gadgets, our John’s found this absolutely ugg-lovely homebrew pocket video-game system:
It looks more like a Cold War era device for the remote detonation of nuclear warheads than a game console. but modder Sam Thornley’s Portable Pac-Man Mini takes one of those old Namco emulator joysticks you plug and play into any old television and melds it with a tiny 2.5-inch LCD powered by 4 rechargeable AA batteries. That D-Pad isn’t very good – perhaps he’s trying to duck patent litigation – but the doodad can play Galaxian, Rally-X, Bosconian and Dig Dug. Because it’s there!
