I bought an iphone 13 phone case with 36 classic retro gameboy games #iphone13 #phonecase

Hey guys,

Check it out!

It would be cool to have a phone case that also functions as a retro gaming console. I love retro games like Arkanoid or Galaga and have them in many forms. So, why not in a mobile phone case form? I searched around, and they do sell them. Cool!

I asked my colleagues which phone case color would be nice for my iPhone 13, and they said red. And it's really nice. It fits snuggly on my Apple iPhone 13 and feels kind of nice to hold. Yes, you can also feel the buttons. I find myself fiddling with the buttons when I hold the phone.

I bought a case that has 36 retro games. There are others that offer more. I usually just stick to playing my favorite retro game. Oh, the case isn't only available for the iPhone. They also have it for Samsung mobile. You can check them out here.

Having a retro gaming console case for your mobile is really fun. It has a separate battery charger. A Micro USB cable is included. I'm assuming it'll last as long as other portable gaming consoles. This means hours if not days of gaming.

The game console case will be upside down at the back because of the camera location. When you play the game, your phone should automatically go blank. This is to avoid opening any apps or whatever. As a case, it's really sturdy and strong. Though, I don't want to drop it.

The console charging port will be available at the top of your phone. Charging your phone and the console would not be a problem. For me, charging the phone is much more important and I can charge the case later using my desktop computer charging port.

Having a retro game console as a phone case will save you space and headaches. I also have a portable retro gaming console but am too lazy to bring it along when going to work or just out and about. Until today, it's just stuck in my drawer.

The retro game console is literally my phone case, I don't even have to think about it. Whenever I feel like playing retro games with REAL buttons, I'll just turn around my phone, power it on, and start gaming. The keywords here are the real gaming buttons. It could be better but real buttons nonetheless.

It is a cool idea to have a gaming console as a phone case. Making it as thin as possible would be better. And, better game controller buttons. If you have been reading my blog, you'll know that I always complain about mobile gaming not having a good controller.

Okay, back then it was the early days of mobile gaming. Now, there are plenty of good mobile game controllers. Most of them are big and bulky. The phone case looks like a phone until you turn it over. It even has its own screen for gaming. Cool!

Check out the pics above for my new retro game console iPhone 13 phone case. Cool!

Powkiddy X18 - Shadow Hunter - Lost World gameplay!

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The Powkiddy X18 with just the CPU MTK 8163 is good for your normal Android task. Like social media, watching youtube, checking emails, and even some school or office work. But, when it comes to gaming, forget about PUBG, Call of Duty mobile, and Asphalt 9 Legends.

You can actually play Asphalt 9 Legends and even Gear.Club racing game but the graphics are greatly diminished. Some games like Shadow Fighting 3 plays well but in-between game, they load a little slow. Even Bubble Witch will freeze once in a while.



Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

That's why as much as I like the Powkiddy X18 if you're looking for something more powerful and at least able to play PUBG or COD mobile, then get the GPD XD Plus. It'll cost a little more but if you can't live without playing those kinds of games, it's worth the investment.

If you don't really care for the graphics-intensive games, then, of course, the Powkiddy X18 is more than enough. They also cost less. There are many other good games in the Google play store like Shadow Hunter - Lost World. Check out my video gameplay here.

The good news is, as I've stated in my last post is that my favorite Zombie shooter FPS games from Madfinger plays well on the X18. Any 'old' shooter games like Dead Effect 2, Shadowgun, and N.O.V.A are great with the integrated controller. You can even remap the buttons to your playing style.

The integrated controller and the remap button software which is included for free is what makes this Android portable game console work. Well, some games are best played with the touchscreen, and sometimes, I don't really mind. Might be a little awkward with the folding form factor.

What I like about the Powkiddy X18 or the GPD XD Plus is that they're more than just for gaming. Android games or retro games. Because it uses Android O.S. 7.0 (I wish it was the latest version) you can use it as an android phone or laptop.

I even set it up so I can use Whatsapp on the X18. I can send messages, voice messages, and even Wifi calling. I discovered that you can link your webcam to an Android device. I tried it out with my old webcam, it didn't work. So, I bought a new one, hoping this time, it'll work.

Hopefully, in the latest Powkiddy X18, they'll add a webcam to it so that people can do video calls. Nowadays, everyone prefers to video call. Even my mom likes to video call. They definitely need to do a 4G or 5G version. Maybe with the latest CPU and GPU?

Of course, if you want to add all that, it might be a little more pricey. That's probably why they chose the MediaTek (main website) processor. The price is also part of the reason why I got it in the first place. For now, it's more than good enough.

I kept forgetting to mention this but you can also link via mini HDMI cable to your monitor or Tv. So you can game on the big screen or work on a bigger monitor screen. Pretty nifty. For simple work and school tasks, I've always said Android is good enough. All this on a cheap portable gaming console!

Powkiddy X18 - The New Nintendo 3DS XL that I Had Always Wanted!

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yes, I'm still going to talk about Powkiddy X18. It's because I'm still messing around with it. Well, yesterday night, I took out my retro ROMs MicroSD card from my Android tablet and put it into my X18. I forget how big the storage was until I realized it contains all my ROMs, music, pictures, etc.

Since I seldom use my tablet anymore, might as well used it on my X18. Anyway, retro gaming or any kind of gaming is much more fun with a physical controller. And, the X18 comes integrated with one. With a couple of thousands of retro games available, this is becoming my ultimate retro gaming system.



Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

• Android 7.0 handheld game console, opening a new era of the game, supporting the 17th National Congress simulator, dual joystick controller. Massive applications are available for download, support PC version 3A masterpiece, support Android games. Built-in game spelling list, chicken simulator, grid cloud game, PSP.
• HDMI connection comes with C-TYPE, HDMI interface, can be directly connected to the TV with the corresponding interface, projector, monitor for games, after pre-installed TV LAUNCH can be used as a WIFI network set-top box with WIFI DISPLAY (need to connect smart TV or DONGLE).
• Independent sound cavity design, immersive sound field, take you to experience smart music. Support 32G TF card expansion, HDMI high-definition interface, can support link high-definition TV, support Bluetooth link handle (can match PS-4 direct play handle).
• Long-lasting battery life, 5000mAh large-capacity battery adopts a lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 5000mAh. The battery is smaller in size and lighter in weight and can be used more times.
• CPU: MTK 8163, quad-core A53 64-bit processor 1.3GHz. Memory: 2GDDR3+16GB EMMC. Battery: 5000 mAh.

The funny thing is that the form factor design is obviously copied from the Nintendo 3DS. I make a quick physical comparison on my unboxing video. You can watch it here. I wish they copied everything though. Like a second screen, a stylus pen, and the camera.

Back in the day, I wish they'll improve on the NN3DS XL. Especially, the graphics. I remember watching youtube on it but now you can't. I still have it so, not being able to watch youtube kinda sucks. I can't quite remember if you can browse the Internet or do social media back then.

Now, I have the Nintendo Switch lite but as much as I love it, I'll always feel something missing. Yes, that's the part the Powkiddy X18 or the GPD XD Plus can fill it up. The difference with the X18 is that it uses Android O.S. which is like a lighter version of Microsoft Windows.

I don't really game all the time. I check my emails, read up on news, do research on Google, messaging, voice messages, video call my family and friends with Whatsapp, watch youtube, listen to music and social media. You know, the everyday thingy. 



GPD XD Plus [Official distributor, Latest HW & Most Stable Update] Foldable Handheld Game Consoles 5" Touchscreen, Android 7.0 Fast Mediatek MT8176 Hexa-core 2.1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM/32GB ROM

Yes, I know. I already do all that on my Samsung Note 10+. In fact, I even have my Blackberry used as my second phone. Now, I consider the Powkiddy X18 as my main device to do all that. I even use it occasionally to Whatsapp my family and close friend.  

That's why I wish the X18 has a camera like mine 3ds xl. I would have used it for video calls. Imagine, if the X18 also has a second screen, you can use it for a touchscreen keyboard or touchpad. That big empty space in between the controller is such a waste of space.



GPD Win 2 [256GB M.2 SSD Storage] Mini Handheld Windows 10 Video Game Console Gameplayer 6" Laptop Notebook Tablet PC CPU M3-8100Y intel HD Graphics 615 8GB/256GB

If you want something light and portable for entertainment and social media, you don't need Microsoft Windows software. I used to hate the early version of Android, now, you can do everything as if you're using a Windows PC. The best part that the mobile phone and a laptop don't have is the integrated controller.

The integrated controller is what makes the difference. That's why I love gaming on my Nintendo Switch and NN3DS XL. Even if you don't like the integrated controller you can buy an external controller. But, the important thing is that there's an integrated one for on-the-go gaming!

The Powdiddy X18 and the GPD XD Plus though also lets you use it as a mini laptop. It's what I had always wanted to do on my NN3DS XL years ago. And, even on my Switch lite now. But, if they put a second touchscreen/touchpad and a camera for video-calling, it'll be 90% perfect!

Powkiddy x18 - finally clean rom installed and touchscreen works!

Powkiddy x18 - finally clean rom installed and touchscreen works!

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! I managed to flash a new clean ROM firmware to my Powkiddy X18, and the touchscreen works too. All this after a few days of reading, downloading, re-flashing, and swearing XXX. All thanks to Taki Udon, ToToy Video PH, and the community

Frankly, I had to watch a couple of videos and read the information on the website to finally understand what the heck I was doing. There was a certain part that I didn't understand, rooting, which I had never done before, and also the flashing tool.

The good thing about being late to the party is that, by the time everyone has already cleared the kinks out and all you have to do is follow the line or tips. Of course, you need to understand what is actually going on, or you'll follow blindly into the pit!

For one thing, I didn't know how to root my Android system. Since I've never done it. It's actually much easier now. For this case, you need the Magisk app. It's not available on the Google Play Store. But you can download the link2SD app there. Which needs root grant access.

GPD XD Plus [Official distributor, Latest HW & Most Stable Update] Foldable Handheld Game Consoles 5" Touchscreen, Android 7.0 Fast Mediatek MT8176 Hexa-core 2.1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM/32GB ROM

You need to watch the Taki Udon and ToToy video guide first if you want to learn to flash the firmware that also comes with the Google Play Store. The Powkiddy X18 original stock doesn't come with it. That's why people want to flash a clean rom.

The good news is that there are links to the flashing tool, the firmware, and the rooted boot.img file in their description. The rooted boot.img link on ToToy is important, contributed by his viewer, because some people have a problem with the touchscreen that doesn't work after flashing.


Redragon S101 Wired RGB Backlit Gaming Keyboard and Mouse, Gaming Mouse Pad, Gaming Headset Combo All in 1 PC Gamer Bundle for Windows PC – (Black)

The procedure is to download the software zip file from the Taki Udon channel, extract it, and open the flashing tool. You need to find the firmware and add it to the flashing tool. After that, you need to click the boot directory and add the rooted boot image that you downloaded from the Totoy channel. 

I skipped the part where you backed up your X18 stock rom. Too cumbersome for me. But, of course, it's advisable to do it. If anything goes wrong, at least you can flash back to the original stock. In any case, I found a website that has the original X18 stock rom. So, if you fck it up. Just go here. Lol.

Click here to check out the latest Android game console available on Amazon!

Make sure you change to the Firmware upgrade and click 'Download'. Only then, you plug in your X18, which should have been switched off. For some reason, my computer and older laptop couldn't recognize my X18. Even though I have installed the Mediatek USB driver.

When I finally decide to use my latest HP laptop, the flashing tool finally recognizes my X18 and flashes the firmware. Now, my Powkiddy X18 runs Android OS 7.0 with the Google Play Store. And, thanks to the rooted boot img, my touchscreen works too.

GPD Win Max [512GB SSD Storage] Mini Handheld Windows 10 Video Game Console Gameplayer 8 Inch 1280 × 800 Touch Screen Laptop Notebook UMPC Tablet PC CPU Intel i5-1035G7 16GB RAM

By the way, since you use the rooted boot image file, your Powkiddy X18 will already be rooted once you boot into the system. So, when you want to use the link2SD (refer to Taki's video), it'll automatically try to open and install Magisk. It will also automatically ask you to grant root access.

Just agree to the request. You'll have to refer to the Taki video on this. I'll have to re-download all the games and apps that were lost during the flashing. I've been playing with the X18 before flashing the clean rom, and while the touchscreen didn't work.

Now that the touchscreen works again, I can start downloading again and don't have to think about flashing. It's time to enjoy the X18 for Android and Retro gaming and even use it as a mini Android laptop. The flexibility is what attracts me to it.

Thanks again to Taki, Totoy, and the Powkiddy X18 community for the good work!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm still playing around with my Powkiddy X18, Android portable gaming console. Just now, I decided to try installing Microsoft launcher and it works perfectly. I remember trying it on my Android phone a couple of years back but it was buggy. They must have worked out the kinks or something.

I did try to install Google play services, chrome, and other apps but for some reason, it won't work on the X18. Chrome and Aptoide work at first but now, they're like disowning the X18. Spotify app or the browser version mysteriously won't work on the X18 too. So, I delete or stop using them.



GPD XD Plus [Official distributor, Latest HW & Most Stable Update] Foldable Handheld Game Consoles 5" Touchscreen, Android 7.0 Fast Mediatek MT8176 Hexa-core 2.1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM/32GB ROM

It really sucks if your Android devices don't have Google play store support. Although I can do a clean Rom install of Google OS, it's kinda fun to play around and see what works and what doesn't. It reminds me of the old days when I used to learn about PC in the mid-90s.

Actually, I did try to do a clean Rom install but I can't even get my PC and laptop to link to my X18. So, I'm pretty much stuck with it, for now. Anyway, I'm afraid of bricking it. I've only played with it for a few days. Maybe, I'll try it again later.

I really hope the manufacturer updates the software which includes google play services. It'll be much easier for us all. Instead of having to search around and ask on every forum on the net. The Powkiddy X18 isn't even new. It's already been around for 3 years?

Too bad, even with the minimum specs it's still a good Android gaming device. I actually enjoyed using it to play some Android games that can be played and retro games that I downloaded straight from websites. I already have many retro ROMs but currently don't have any extra MicroSD cards.

The good thing is that I thought, I've bought the 16GB storage version but turns out it's 24GB. So, since I can browse the Internet with the Firefox browser, all I have to do is search for retro ROMs that I actually play and download. 

That's what so cool about the X18 and the GPD XD Plus. It's not just a game console with an integrated controller but practically an Android mini laptop. With the Microsoft launcher which actually looks a little nicer than the original, I feel like I'm using a Windows laptop.



GPD Win 2 [256GB M.2 SSD Storage] Mini Handheld Windows 10 Video Game Console Gameplayer 6" Laptop Notebook Tablet PC CPU M3-8100Y intel HD Graphics 615 8GB/256GB

There's actually a Windows 10 version, the GPD Win 2, that you can play with your collection of STEAM games but, it's almost triple the price. Might as well get the GPD WIN MAX, which is the updated version with a full keyboard. 

Again, it all depends on your budget. The GPD XD Plus is a much cheaper offer. I'll definitely recommend you get it over the Powkiddy X18 because the price is not much different. But, its specs are much better. Though, I'm not saying the X18 isn't any good.

Like I say if the company updates the OS with Google play store, I'll be absolutely happy. For now, I'm just playing around with what I have. It's not as if there are no other Android games or apps that I can't use on it. I'm not really missing anything as I've got my main Samsung Android mobile phone. 

Funny, yesterday, I use Whatsapp on the X18 to message my sister. I have an extra sim card, so I use the number on it (there's no sim card slot). I told her that the X18 is like my new phone albeit a little bulky. But, it doesn't have a camera. So, I can't do any video calls.

But, surprisingly I can do voice messages. I didn't know there's a mic on it. I think it's located beside the speaker which is located at the front. You can't see it as it's covered. Also, you can turn the X18 vertically and the screen will rotate. It's much better as the keyboard won't take all the screen spaces.

Would be interesting if there's a phone that design with a folding controller. But, again, the price!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally received my Powkiddy X18, Android portable gaming console that I ordered last week or so. Been messing around with it and there's bittersweet to the product. First off, the Android OS 7.0 is not the latest and it doesn't support the Google Play store. Which, kinda sucks.

Since it doesn't support the Play store, you'll have to go to sites like Aptoide and Apkpure.com to download apps and games. Some of them still need Google service. I've been downloading and deleting mostly games that can't run. But, some of my favorite like Ailment, works!



GPD XD Plus [Official distributor, Latest HW & Most Stable Update] Foldable Handheld Game Consoles 5" Touchscreen, Android 7.0 Fast Mediatek MT8176 Hexa-core 2.1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM/32GB ROM

• Support wi-fi wireless networking，playing games, listening to music, watching the video, and shopping
• Battery life lasts up to 8 hours when playing games. 5-inch touch screen，foldable and portable.
• Support Android Gravity and Touch games. Android7.0 OS, Support Google Store
• 4GB DDR3 RAM and 32GB eMMC ROM
• MT8176 CPU, More Intelligent. Size cores design, dual-core A72, the base frequency can reach 2.1Ghz. Quad-core A53--base frequency 1.7 GHz.Allocating work intelligently, avoid single-core overheat. All the Hexa cores run when playing big games, make sure games running smoothly.

You might be wondering, why I'm promoting GPD XD Plus here then? It's because the specs are better. It has more rams and eMMC rom. Mine Powkiddy only has 2GB ram and surprisingly eMMC 24GB. I thought, I ordered the 16GB but the added storage is welcome.

The Powkiddy X18 is also cheaper because of that. And, even with a minimum of specs which is actually the same as most cheap Android tablets out there, it's surprisingly pretty good. I open up multiple apps and games and it still runs smoothly.

If only it's as powerful as my Samsung Note 10+. Of course, the added plus of the Powkiddy and GPD android game console is that it has an integrated controller. I'm not sure bout the GPD XD Plus but there's a dedicated 'G' button for remapping buttons. Pretty nifty!

The Powkiddy X18 and GPD XD Plus is at the low-end portable gaming console. My ultimate portable gaming console will be the GPD Win Max. It's the ultimate combination of a gaming console and a laptop with an integrated controller.

On the X18, I can play (selected) games, surf the net, check my social media and even use it for work. Which sadly, I can't do it on my current favorite gaming console the Nintendo Switch lite. Well, you can't have it all, or can you?

Of course, it all also depends on your budget. That's where android gaming consoles like the Powkiddy X18 and GPD XD Plus comes in. By the way, the X18 OS is a little buggy at first but once I deleted and change apps like Aptoide to Apkpure or Firefox instead of Chrome it all runs smoothly now.

It's a budget system and not everything is perfect, but for what it is and after you mess around with apps and games that work, you'll enjoy it more. Even if some of the apps like Spotify don't work, just use the browser version. It's also a retro gaming haven. I'm definitely enjoying it!

I'm going back to checking out more games and apps after I'm done with this posting. Especially, those games that can be played offline. It'll be cool if they come with a 4G or 5G version. You can actually use Whatsapp on the device but you'll need an existing phone line.

If the system has a front camera, you can even do video-calling. I have an extra sim card that I seldom use. It'll be cool to chat using my X18. God damn, I have so many ideas. If only these manufacturers would send me their products for review, I'll tell them what I want. Lol!

Android 10 Smart Tablet As Replacement for Laptops?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Lately, I've been playing with my 8-inch Android tablet again. Maybe, it's because I got a keyboard case for it last week. I've been wanting to get it for a while. Now, I'm using it as a laptop. An Android laptop. I think it's great for a simple basic task like watching youtube or checking and replying to emails.

I've been wondering why there isn't any huha about tablets anymore. Especially, an Android gaming tablet. I mean, a gaming tablet would have a much bigger screen than a 7-inch phablet. Granted, any bigger than a 7 inch would be kinda awkward to hold and game.

Some people actually think the Nintendo Switch screen is a little too big. That makes Nintendo create a much smaller screen Nintendo Switch lite. Well, maybe that's why I sold the 'big' Switch and got the Switch lite. It does have a slight difference in portability.

Actually, I don't really like Android games. Mostly because they don't have a controller or keyboard and mouse support. You can see for yourself on the Google Play store comments. Most gamers request controller support. I haven't seen anyone asking for keyboard and mouse support though.

If you've been reading my blog, you'll know I'm pretty much crazy about laptops. Especially, gaming laptops. Gaming laptops are so powerful, they can basically replace your desktop computer. Another thing I'm crazy about is the keyboard.

It's because of the keyboard that I got for my tablet that I begin to start using it again. Don't ask me why I'm so fascinated with a keyboard. Another thing is that I'm seeing a lot of new Android tablet that's getting a bump on their specs but still keeping the price down.

Frankly, if I have the money, I'll want to get myself the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. A little pricey than your low-end Android tablet. But, it has better cameras. Which is useful for making my youtube videos. I already have an iPad Pro 10.5 but sometimes, I'll need to use another backup device.

An iPad or a Tablet is pretty nifty because of its portability and flexibility. I can use it as a touchscreen tablet or add a keyboard and voila, turn it into a laptop. Also, I can put them on a tripod stand and take videos or pictures. Most of the time, they have better cameras than a laptop.

Yesterday, I finally decide to get a better tablet with the latest specs update. It comes with a keyboard bundle. The cool thing is that the keyboard includes a touchpad. That is something new I see in today's keyboard case. Of course, I'll be making an unboxing video, so look out for it on my channel.

I'm a little curious to try out the tablet if I can use it as a laptop. Meaning, I'll be opening up a lot of browser tabs, checking out social media at the same time like FB, Twitter, my blog, and watching youtube videos. It's a 10 inch with Android 10 OS, 5G, 8GB Ram, and 512GB Rom.

All that and it only cost around USD$160+. An affordable price for pretty good specs. That's why I said, I was curious about the real-world performance of this lap-tablet. I'll be trying out STEAM game streaming, Android games, and retro-gaming with Retroarch emulators.

If it passes all my personal usage testing, it might just replace my laptop. :)

El-cheapo 400 in 1 Portable Retro Gaming Console!

Handheld Game Console, Retro Mini Game Player with 500 Classic FC Games, 3.0 Inch Screen 800mAh Rechargeable Battery Portable Game Console Support TV Connection & Two Players for Kids Adults (Red)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been wanting to check out all these cheap portable retro gaming consoles that seem to be pretty popular. I actually already have many retro games that I can basically play on anything. From raspberry pi to DS lite to Android tablet to even my Blackberry phone. But hey, the more the merrier right?

Even on my Nintendo Switch, I can play plenty of retro games on NSO (Nintendo Service Online) or that I've already bought. I'm actually more intrigued by where you can play the game than the games themselves. If that even make sense?

One thing though, the one I've bought has the form factor that for some reason feels good to me. Most, portable gaming console has the standard 'laptop' folding or the PSP type horizontal design. Which is more ergonomic. I'm not arguing with that.

I just realized that the vertical straight design is the same as the mobile phone. Funnily, I'm more comfortable with a Gameboy than a mobile phone. Oh yeah, maybe because the retro game console has real buttons and a d-pad.

For some reason, people just love to play retro games. Even the new gens. Maybe, because there are so many of them and they're basically free. Well, you'll have to search for them or you can just buy a console that already has games on it.

Also, maybe because people are tired of watching ads or having to keep paying to play games on mobile today? The gaming scene has definitely changed. It's all about eSport now. Competition, to see who is the best and to win money. There's actually nothing wrong with that.

People like me, I prefer taking my time to play a game. My favorite is RPG exploring a cool new world. I don't like multiplayer or doing a fast run. Who the heck care if you can finish a game within a few mins? I mean, what's the fun in that?

I tried playing Diablo multiplayer once. I kept being left behind and summoned. I basically, quit and play solo. Ok, I do like deathmatch. Even had fun playing Call of Duty and PUBG mobile. But, I don't play them anymore. Because I'm into my Nintendo Switch lite now.

I guess everyone has their own preference when it comes to gaming. Even my nephew doesn't like playing retro games much. I tried to show him the new retro gaming console I just bought and he wasn't the least interested. 

In any case, I'm going to enjoy playing some of my favorite good old retro games like Arkanoid, Galaga, Mario Bro, Contra, and others on my new portable retro gaming console. This is way cool and Awesome!
