  Finally got a chance to look into the Boox and wanted to say thanks for the suggestion!

  Currently broke of course, but this looks like it would do everything the Ink Console would of and then some. There’s a version of Zork (all) on the Play store as well!

  Both, so I will assume I am being unrealistic. :(

  Are there any tablets good for old text adventures games?

  There was the Ink Console coming out, but that seemingly died off.

  I really enjoyed her interview on the podcast, “The Retro Hour”, as well as various articles in Retro Gamer Magazine. She seemed like a kind, quirky soul.

  A tremendous loss to retro gaming, I think she talked about having lots of old documentation for companies she worked at throughout her career, now mostly all defunct. Hopefully a gaming museum will handle care of those items at some point. R.I.P.

  I’m not going to say you’re wrong.

  It’s amazing how he started out in numetal and now dresses, acts like he contributed to music as much as someone like Bowie, Cash, CCR, etc when in reality he’s in the same exact category as Fred Durst.

  (kind of) Sorry to talk shit on numetal, just because I am old now.

  Yep!

  An every time I was in Toy r Us, Babbage’s, Children’s Palace or looking througu the JC Penny’s Christmas catalog, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world and oh so desperately wanted it…despite not owning a Game Gear…😅

  After years of saying I think a good 1080p TV, playing a good quality media file, looks just as good on any 4k TV I have seen, I now feel justified…and ancient.

  These ads were in every gaming magazine I read back in the day. EGM, GamePro, Nintendo Power, etc.

  My friends and I never called any of them once due to fear of parents+phonebill. We all understood that at a very young age, ha.

  I even had one rich kid friend, he never called these lines even.

  Definitely a disappointment. As another poster stated, putting retroarch on a tablet pretty much accomplishes the same thing.
