I received mine a few months ago and haven’t been able to put it down since! Gorgeous device, abhorrent support and communication, lol.

If you’re a fellow Pocket Enjoyer, please, share what you’ve been playing recently.

I only have analogue pockets on my pants. I didn’t even know they made digital pockets.

I keep being tempted to pick one up but I’m not a huge fan of old handheld games. Even growing up I was always like “I wish these were more like the PC or console versions.” My first system was a GBC so maybe a bit before my time. Happily playing PC games on a steam deck these days though. My childhood dream is real now! lol

But it’s not just handheld games. My analogue pocket has the entire SNES, NES, Mega Drive and Pc Engine libraries, plus Amiga. Loads of MiSTer cores have been ported.

Playing SNES on the pocket is amazing. And it’s better on the pocket than any other device I’ve ever used.

Those were all before my time, so I don’t really have any “favorites” I would want to play.

Before your time? Wait what

Fuck me, I’m getting old.

I love mine but really want the image filters in OpenFPGA cores so I can ditch lugging around carts.

Yep, I’ve been holding off on it for awhile because of this. It feels like it’s maybe never going to happen at this point.

I’m part of the club! Although tbf I haven’t touched it much since getting it about a year ago (I just haven’t played that much retro stuff these days or most of it has been with my Super Nt).
One great addition I got recently was a 3D printed grip case, it made long play sessions sooo much more comfortable (obligatory “not affiliated” and I’m not the one making these, but I really like the quality which is why I’m linking it here).

As far as what I’ve been playing on it recently… really just pick up and play, SoR 2 or Turtles in Time, but I completed Metroid Fusion (first time) a few months ago on the Pocket (that’s what made me get a grip case, it really wasn’t too great wrt shoulder buttons comfort).
