Looking for some retro gaming goodness and a day's worth of productive tinkering for less than $75? Check out the game grrl portable gameboy-sized NES, brought to us by ladyada via our pals at hackaday. Made of a Power Player III 'Nintendo on a chip' game controller, a PacTec HP-4AA enclosure, and an original NES controller, this little DIY gadget has a 2.5-inch screen with CCFL backlight, headphone/line out jack, built-in battery compartment and will run about 12 hours on 4 AA alkalines (6-8 hours on NiMH rechargeables). Check the complete assembly instructions on her site and make your own inexpensive, pint-sized NES with built-in games for less than 75 quid. Now that's entertainment.
75 quid? how does $75 US dollars = 75 quid?
more like 40 quid... yea what's my point? sorry i don't have one
"less than 75 quid"
40 < 75
TECHNICALITY WINS
Umm.. why bother when you can go to the store and buy a GBA and then get an emulator to play NES Rom's on it?
Nice Morrissey reference.
Or you could just play NES games on your Treo...

You can play NES on any Smartphone (Symbian 60+ phones). A Nokia 3650 now only costs about $50. Why spend money when it can only play games.
You do it because it's cool, and you can say "Hey, I made this!"
