    I really liked my Gameboy pocket, but it suddenly felt like junk after I got a second one and did the backlight mod to it. But in turn, my backlit one suddenly felt like junk after I got another and fitted an IPS screen in it (well, "robbed it of it's motherboard and fitted all new stuff around it" is a more accurate description of what I did. :) ). The IPS screen upgrade is just so much better than the original. The original screen has horendiously motion blur, and even with the backlight and bivert mods they still really show their age. The IPS screen's night and day better. I've currently got 8 GB Pockets, 2 have IPS screens, 5 are backlit, and one is completely original. Both the IPS one's have the "Alberto Gil Tesa" USB-C Charging Kits and 1000mAh Li-Po's fitted (A great mod to go with the power hungry screen), 3 of the backlit one's have Li-Po mods as well, using generic TP4056 charging module. Once the USB socket's removed it fits almost perfectly in the top shell between the D pad and B button to shine it's charge status LED's through the thin plastic of the top shell (It looks especially good on a transparent blue case I've got on one). 2 of those have the bivert mod, One of the others has a drop in Li-Po and charger kit that all fits in the (Modified) battery compartment, and the last backlit and the totally standard one have the normal 2x AAA arrangement......... As you can see, I have a bit of a thing for Gameboy Pockets. :D The trouble is, my standard one, and all the backlit ones don't get used anymore. I cleaned them right up with isopropyl alcohol, removed the batteries, and they're all now in Ziploc bags with a few silica gel sachets in each. Once you've experienced the crystal clear sharpness of an IPS screen on one of these, the stock screen (Backlit or not) feels barely fit for purpose ! All I can say is, if you still get that happy nostalgic feeling from playing on your stock or backlit stock Gameboy Pocket, don't even LOOK at one kitted out with an IPS screen, let alone play on it if offered. It'll ruin the whole original experience for you ! It would be like continuing to bang your clothes against a rock in the river to wash them while knowing full well that automatic and reasonably affordable cloths washing machines exist ! :D

    MULE was a great game! Wife and I used to spend hours in. front of our old C=128 playing this game, of course in the 64 mode. Another game MOSAIC which I typed in from the pages of RUN magazine using the machine language monitor was a favorite of my wife. I wonder, the little esp32 VGA board has an ATARI emulator for it, perhaps that is what is inside this little device.

I put it off again and again waiting for the price of about 300 bones to come down then usb came along and the ol reliable printer port and keyboard plug got phased out so i never bought it. Im gonna find my goodwill webcam that i wrecked the color filter on and try this.

    Hi 8 bit guy. I'm trying to find out the smallest home computer with video, in the 1970's and in the 1980's, world wide, and the first home computer capable of 80 column text with a colour palette of at least 8 colours (not the 2 colour Exidy and 4 colour QL). Would you be able to share? I've discovered the new brain, and Seiko 2000 watch, and there are pocket computers. But none fit what I'm looking at. The only ones that seem to, are early business machines in the 1980's, like the PC, one better PC like British machine (forget the name) and Peach, and Amstrad CPC. Which is a bit shocking. Apple 111, hmm. You would have thought somebody would have done it earlier. Thanks.

    I went to a tech collage and they required use to by sharp PC1401 pocket computer. It was pretty pricy at a $120 dollars considering tuition for the year was about $1500. All fine and dandy until the first math exam rolled around and they said we could not use them because you could enter notes into the computer memory. We argued that you required us to but the computer/calculator then we should be able to use it. Students won that one and sharing note took on a whole new meaning after that. One teacher tried to mess thing up by having a test question that required the use of a program to solve a question. The exam was 90 min long and your calculator was tied up running the program for 70 min. Saw that one coming and dragged out a second PC 1401 that a store had loaned me. Aced that exam. (Also had picked up a room mate that was working on his PHD in mathematic, He went on to be a professor and was one of the best teacher the math department had)
