Emulate Nintendo on Your MessagePad

Posted by pudge on from the yes-that-nes dept.

Green and Geeky writes "That Marvel of a PDA, the Newton MessagePad, has always been a good product. It does a lot of things: plays MP3s, connects to the Internet wirelessly, can be used to bludgeon someone, fits in your pocket (if you're a giant), etc. Now, it plays Nintendo games. Strange, yes, but still pretty cool. I can't play Legend Zelda, Final Fantasy, or Dragon Warrior on my Palm V." And I don't need to waste money on a Game Boy Advance!

    Hmm, I had forgotten how crappy NES games really were. Take away the color and the suckage forms a black hole. Just get a GBA if you want to play games. Sheesh.

    Well you kinda sorta do - those Gameboy Advance cartridges tend only to fit into Gameboy Advances.

    The newton is a "never has been", no life now, yesterday or in the future.
