Got this neat guy for 5 USD at a Goodwill - they'd put it out in the Toys section. It's a Phillips Nino 500, running Windows CE 2.11, from 1999.

This UI pack will release tomorrow! It was previously exclusive to Kenney Game Assets All-in-1 but now it'll be free, for everyone. I'm improving some elements and exporting all sprites properly - so everyone gets a lil' upgrade! #gameassets
In the 1980s, Amiga heralded a new era of creativity for computing.
It wasn't even close.
Today's Golfshrine update includes multiple games that borrow the names of other games in Golfshrine, one frustrated rant about the software marketing practices of yesteryear, and the fascinating GameTrak!
