I love Lucas Pope and would like to one day play Mars After Midnight, but I’m not paying over 200 bucks for one of these anytime soon.

I like the concept of the playdate. I even like the little gimmicky crank. I don’t like the non-backlit screen. And the price is a deal breaking barrier to entry for me.
Make this thing $60, and put a decent color screen on it, and I’m sold.

Black and white (or whatever colour) with backlight is fine. If I can buy an Anbernic or whatever the buggery for <$50, this can be not much more.

If I recall correctly, the playdate was $250 a year ago. Not sure if it’s the same price today. But that was enough to stop my purchade a year ago.

$199 now. Still seems a bit overpriced.

“A bit”, my lord.

Ufff, why would you buy one of these instead of a r36s or similar

Bonkers.
