Perhaps Something Fun To Play With In The Meantime...

So there I was perusing the internet when I stumbled across this...
http://www.ladyada.net/make/fuzebox/index.html

which is basically a kit that follows the standards set forth by this,
http://www.belogic.com/uzebox/index.htm

It was so completely retro that for a split second I wanted to go eat eggo waffles and watch TMNT. Anyhow, since I wasn't going to get a pandora for Christmas (I didn't have any money during preorders) I thought that it would be really fun to hang out with some of relatives and learn to write old school games ... Originally I was thinking of putting this in the thread about needing a new gadget to pass the time. However, since its such a neat idea I figured that it needed its own.

The second thing I am wondering is that if people do start writing games for this platform would it be possible to emulate it on the pandora... that would make it all the more exciting!

Why bother making a emulator for a system that has no real gamebase and will not run anything you haven't seen before.

Thos it´s a fun concept to build if you like to program your own simple stuff, i probbaly will build one for fun but I do not see any reason to emulate this at all on the pandora.

That is a pretty wicked-awesome looking kit; not cheap, but not expensive either, and would be a really fun thign to mess with.

I'd have been all over this a few years ago, but I'mw ay too busy now But too cool.
