[Staffan]

Hello!


My name is Staffan Mattsson and Im 30 year old living in Sweden. I have my pandora mostly for playing Atari and Amiga games, reliving the days of my childhood once again. When I browse through som of your user profiles like protoman, I se that he is only 16 years old. I wonder what such a young kid uses his pandora for, and why he doesnt play angry birds on his Iphone. So how old are you people, and what do you use your pandora for?


Personally Im a programmer at work, but I will most likely not do anything for the pandora since doing it 8 hours a day is enough for me. I will only play games. Old ones.

^^ copy that post, replace the number 30 with 21, and i'll play games from any time as long as they're actually good

I'm 30 in September. I mostly play C64 games, and Street Fighter ][ through SNES, MD, and MAME (depending on the edition). I'd love to play some more of my PSone games (after I spent all that time ripping them), however, the emulator seems to crash trying to play most of them (although Gran Tourismo 2 works nicely), and I can't seem to get the "memory cards" to work. Also need to get the Amiga emu sorted for games like Super Cars 2...


Oh, and we can't forget ScummVM now


I'm currently coding a remake of Werewolves of London (originally on C64, Spectrum and Amstrad) for Windows. After that's complete, I have a few game ideas that I will try and code for desktops and the Pandora.


Though like the OP, I program as a profession too, so home coding gets a bit slow.

Like you, I'm 30 too. I'm a researcher in computer science. I use my Pandora for reading books, taking notes, programming and retro gaming. Occasionally I use it as a music player as well.

Is your version going to complete? or will it be unfinishable like the original?

I work in IT and am an avid Linux user so i like being able to play with Linux on my gadgets. I also wanted to game on the move, but didn't want to pay for games so i thought the Pandora was perfect for me. I hope i get it soon

I'm 25, got my Pandora back in February (I seem to recall). I'm a web developer who has tried dabbling in games but unfortunately I've never gotten anywhere with it. I tend to use my Pandora for Mega Drive and PlayStation emulation, ScummVM and sudoku believe it or not! I've just started using Anki regularly to help me with learning Italian.

27, but still a kid at heart! I use my Pandora mostly as a toy. I never take the time to do anything really cool with it as other things demand my attention these days.

[Blue Protoman]

Yep, 16. And I use the Pandora in favor of an iTouch because I'm smart.

 

[DavidBowman]

What's an iTouch?

 

[Blue Protoman]

Your attempt to look mature and "genuinely cool" has backfired on you.

 

[cosurgi]

I was expecting a poll 33.

I'm 16, I use the Pandora because older games are quite blatantly much better than new ones.
