Re: CrankBoy Is A Playdate Game Boy Emulator With Impressive Performance

@axelhander I am a 40 year old man with 3 kids. I have had every console and handheld all the way from spectrum days. The playdate has surprised me more than anything in those 40 years. My three kids constantly ask to play it and it. It is a remarkable piece of kit. It couldn't be more clear that you have never touched one . If you had you would realise that it shakes up how we think about games, how we play them, how they are delivered. It is pure joy and pure fun. Our playdate has been played everyday since we received ours years ago. It was a lifesaver in the Disney land queues with the kids. Sorry axel that you are missing out and that you cant see the brilliance that the rest of us see. Its a shame as you sound grumpy and but hurt and the one thing that could put a smile on that grouchy face is... yep you guessed it A PLAYDATE.

Re: Best Handheld Consoles Of All Time, Ranked By You

I have all of these except the Watara. I love them all. For me The GBA SP just edges out the Switch Lite for the number one spot. However saying this I truly think the playdate is one of the most exciting and fresh pieces of hardware I have played with. It gets a lot of love in my house. The kids play it loads and it is truly pocket size. Another special mention goes to the Analogue Pocket that makes loads of these handhelds redundant. It is a powerhouse in a premium build. I also loved my n-gage. Both iterations (the banana phone version and the improved build) it dared to be different but wasn't given the chance it truly deserved.

Paper Pilot is getting most play time in our family currently. So simple but so good. Wish the device was cheaper as I would get us all one instead of sharing. Also really appreciate the reviews on here as it has helped me buy lots of games.
