Re: This is just too cool not to mention...

Todd,

Well, the processor is a Motorola MPC823 running at 66MHz or 75MHz (I
haven't heard a definitive answer). It runs about 40 classics, including
the following vector games:

Asteroids
Asteroids Deluxe
BattleZone
Space Duel
Tempest

Non-vector way-cool titles include:

Galaga
Gauntlet I and II
Qix
Zaxxon
Joust
Defender
Donkey Kong

It theoretically could run most MAME games, at least the older ones. It
runs a little slowly, but playing Tempest on a camera causes pangs of
ecstacy that are hard to describe to non-geeks.

I think James Surine, the porter, plans to port to Digita cameras other
than the DC265. Here's the link to the web page again:

I'd have run it a few days ago, but I was afraid it was a fake. I can
assure everybody that it really, really does work. I'm having problems
wiping the smile off my face. :-)
