It’s a dumb title but there seems to be plenty of people buying Analogue just to play cartridges. This is a low cost alternative to AP and modded Gameboy.
I was an Android guy back in the day but handheld gaming is my love and I owned Gen1 iPod Touch specifically for games. Canabalt was mind blowingly fun, one of the firsts that perfected touch screen formula.
The article prompted me to re-download it on my phone and my mind was blown again. Canabalt devs are behind Night in the Woods, Wilmot’s Warehouse and Tunic 🤯
I have this conspiracy theory where Disney and Tencent concocted 20 year plan to merge through a common stake in Epic. Just don’t ask about any details because there are none.
This is genuinely one of the most useful Analogue Pocket criticisms. Before buying AP you should watch this and either Digital Foundry or My Life In Gaming reviews. I still bought one and don’t regret it but you should know what you’re getting yourself into.
Guy wanted to vent about smart thermostats, explicitly said he doesn’t need advice and got bajillion responses with advice, mostly from FOSS folks who couldn’t contain themselves. I’d be annoyed too.
