Analogue Pocket

First in line for the resell!

Well done on getting one, which colour did you go for?

Sold before it even got dispatched.....surely a record that'll stand the test of time?

@o1s1n, you're buying a piece of history 😁

It'll be worth it, the rolls Royce of retro handheld gaming really. New beta from Jotego will be Konami's Aliens....one for the Greek Mother if he still frequents these parts

Gonna get a MiSTer setup with the Pocket sales funds?

By the way, you are missing from my list. I don't have a game for you but I always associate you with Sega Naomis for some reason. That and 90s era Irish Grunge. 😂

Maybe 'Virtua Tennis' on the Naomi/Dreamcast, also music wise it has a vaguely rockish soundtrack

I do have a MiSTer DE10-Nano JAMMA Expander from irkenlabs he could borrow

Well it's settled, Ciderman is getting a MiSTer whether he likes it or not :D

Actually seems to be a good time to get one as I have been noticing a few people offloading them in advance of the MARs unit coming out.

Good to hear you're still knocking about! Yeah a few of us have really gotten into the whole miSTer thing, it's been a fantastic project to follow. There's a community taking arcade PCBs and recreating them down to their components virtually which the runs via FPGA. You can then run them in an arcade machine.

What I quite like about it is the actual release of each game, so you get a new game every few weeks to focus on. Nearly like part of being in a videogame club.

I think Pyong was responsible for that nickname - the reason I cannot remember!

Oh no worries if you want to hang onto it! Sure have a think about it, I'm easy either way.

Open it and enjoy it. Or sell it to o1s1n and recoup the costs. If you go with option B, you could stick a preorder if for the next batch of Analogue Pockets? Just an idea....

Get it graded.

This is S-tier Cidey-Cycle, it'll never be topped. @o1s1n, as I said above, you're buying a piece of history 😂

Cidey - the RGB30 thingy will be fine. You'll never, ever use it beyond the first five mins, but the same was going to be said of the Pocket too lets be honest! At least this time, you're only buying a mildly expensive display piece...

Truthfully I can hardly poke fun... for me now it seems collecting is the game itself. Actually playing stuff? Some day, soon... 😔

Might be worth keeping tabs on the Analogue twitter or X or whatever to see if they hint at which colours they'll be putting up Monday or on the 8th.

Looks to be back to the classic black and white for the initial Monday release anyway judging from their store page (and then of course, there's the new white Dock that they'll want to ship to existing and new customers), not to mention there's a lot of feedback that people want the primary colours back anyway. Maybe they'll have limited ones for pre-order on the 8th ? Who knows.

Got a shipment preparation mail for the Duo a little earlier, so hopefully that'll get out the door as per their comms in time for Christmas, so happy with that. Adapter delay is annoying but not the end of the world. Getting the firmware in place for the display support for the cores would be excellent though.
