Playing Sonic Spinball in memory of Retro Gamer Magazine editor Nick Thorpe.

R.I.P. Nick, I enjoyed 10+ years of your articles, humor, love of all things Sega and occasional personal stories. You will be missed.

Finally got a chance to look into the Boox and wanted to say thanks for the suggestion!

Currently broke of course, but this looks like it would do everything the Ink Console would of and then some. There’s a version of Zork (all) on the Play store as well!

Both, so I will assume I am being unrealistic. :(

Are there any tablets good for old text adventures games?

There was the Ink Console coming out, but that seemingly died off.

I really enjoyed her interview on the podcast, “The Retro Hour”, as well as various articles in Retro Gamer Magazine. She seemed like a kind, quirky soul.

A tremendous loss to retro gaming, I think she talked about having lots of old documentation for companies she worked at throughout her career, now mostly all defunct. Hopefully a gaming museum will handle care of those items at some point. R.I.P.

Yep!

An every time I was in Toy r Us, Babbage’s, Children’s Palace or looking througu the JC Penny’s Christmas catalog, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world and oh so desperately wanted it…despite not owning a Game Gear…😅

These ads were in every gaming magazine I read back in the day. EGM, GamePro, Nintendo Power, etc.

My friends and I never called any of them even once due to fear of parents+phonebill. We all understood that at a very young age, ha.

I even had one rich kid friend, he never called these lines even.

High school basketball coach.

Definitely a disappointment. As another poster stated, putting retroarch on a tablet pretty much accomplishes the same thing.
