These things scratch the right itch with me. I did briefly look at what they were during lockdown. Originally someone showed me a modded Game Boy Colour which took my interest, but back then the devices were harder to come by and not nearly as nifty as they are now.
I can't. Mainly because I use a handheld maybe one week a year. I'm more likely to turn the thin client I work on into a retro machine.
I’ve downloaded Little Kitty Big City on Switch and Xbox (Gamepass) for my daughter, but it looks lots of fun.

Yes I have since noticed there is just placeholder art for all the keepsakes.Originally Posted by Dark Soldier
Thanks.
I’ll stick with the 35XX H unless something else comes out. Only getting it in July
In my trip down memory lane so far I'm mostly reminded about how in the 80s and 90s a licence would just be chucked on top of an awful game and put on sale in a very that'll do sense. On SNES I've played terrible floaty platform games for Beavis & Butthead, Asterix, Tintin and Wayne's World so far and on C64 for some reason both Viz and Neighbours take the form of racing games, having watched the latter I can't remember seeing that many kangaroos running about in Ramsay St but maybe I wasn't paying attention.
Brian Lara Cricket on PS1 remains absolutely glorious, but I was disappointed to download three editions of International Cricket Captain and find that none involve actually playing cricket.
Eh?

I tried EA Cricket as well which does let you play but it's shite.
That reminds me, I need to load up Delta on my phone with the N64 version of whichever ISS was the RPG where you went to the cinema with girls instead of training.

I never found a cricket game where I could really get my head around the controls.
Though my stick cricket team where everybody was named for TTHers made for popular posts briefly about a thousand years ago.
Finally caved and got Balatro knowing it would ruin me. Got to round 7 of 8 on my second try
Miyoo has arrived and boy is it smaller than I thought. Makes me wonder how small the original mini is.
Everyone always lies about inches.
The size is my only grumble with it, playing anything that uses the shoulder/back buttons can get uncomfortable before too long. If there's a good sized landscape model with a decent OS that can play PS2 I reckon that's my next port of call
Gamma, a PS1 emulator, is out on iPhone

Marathon (the thing Bungie did before Halo) is now on steam for free. It already was abandonware but whatever.
RetroArch is now out for iOS
That Anbernic SP rip off is going to be just under £60 so it's going to sell like hot cakes. Good luck getting one for a month or two.
Now if this stays on the app store, this is very interesting.
Balatro (aka GOTY) mobile anyone? Works perfect, you just need the PC version.

Have you done it? I'm having trouble getting altstore to install it. Could you send your ipa file (or have a go at making it)
Absolute joke run.
2 * Mult jokers alongside 2 +10 mult foils and a joker that said that all red + black cards are the same. I could have high carded my way to a win.
Stunning.
Hellblade 2 looks fucking stupid graphically. Absolute madness.
My daughters started faking illness every morning to try and stay home to play Little Kitty Big City. Also made the mistake of letting her read the achievements so now she’s on a mission to platinum it. It does look fun though.

But not that great a game apparently?
Its just a five hour walking sim experience with a bit of gameplay. Edith Finch, Rapture, Firewatch etc. I love that kinda thing now and again.
And it'll probably kill off the studio.
Anybody played Baldur's Gate 3? I bought it for £40 from Egypt but it's a bit daunting for me as I've never played or understood DnD.
Um holy fucking shit it's incredible? Not so much the game but visually I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It actually does make it much better.
Yeah its absolutely ridiculous innit. Proper proper next gen stuff.
Completed it twice, it's fantastic. I play DnD every week though so it's a bit easier for me to wrap my head around. I played multiplayer so didn't have to deal with learning spell slots and all that.
It will have a steep learning curve if you're not familiar with the concept but I've seen many people in your "predicament" that really enjoy it so it's definitely worth giving it a go.
I'm doing Diablo now without really reading any guides and having a blast. Sure I'm not as 'good' as you're probably supposed to be and I'm guessing how things work but fuck it.
Diablo is much more of a 'twat things and loot' dungeon crawler where as Baldur's Gate 3 is more of a fantasy XCOM thinkung game.
