I am a bad person....

…because I spent money yesterday. I purchased something…. frivolous…..

I could not help it though…. The thought of carrying my favorite arcade game around in my pocket was too tempting….

Seriously, it is an awesome little gizmo… The Namco Museum cartridge has Ms. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Pole Position, Galaxian, and Galaga, and all of them seem dead-on-balls accurate to the originals. I also picked up Super Mario Advance, which has Super Mario 2 and the original Mario Bros. on it. But the Advance lets you play the old Mario Bros. game with 3 other people… And the super cool thing is that you only need one copy of the game to play, it uploads the ROM to the other players over the link cable…. So far I am happy, although the lack of a back lit screen can be a bit of a nuisance at times, but it is one of those pseudo-new-fangled reflective LCDs, which only require a bit of light to give you good color…
