Technology Review: Pandora open source Handheld Console

TECH In this GamerDads Retrocast Technology review, resident tech head @moobit meets one of the creators of the Pandora open source handheld gaming console and mini PC and discusses its features and abilities.

This console, being open source can play ROMs of ANY game up to PS1 standard/equivalent PC standard, as well as it containing PC office software and media playback capabilities.

It was and is a very interesting console, but was according to reports dogged by long waiting list times once ordered from the company (due to not being mass produced on a huge scale). Some might say in 2013 that the Android platform offers a similar option to this console however any retro gamers and homebrew hackers should check the console out as it offers some great options even in today’s market…

The interview was originally filmed at the 2011 Replay Retro and current gen gaming expo at the Norbreck Castle Hotel Blackpool on 06 November 2011:

Pinball Table Review: “NBA Fast break” (Bally):

GAMESA quick video review of the excellent Bally Pinball table NBA Fastbreak as found at the Replay Expo…

 

 

Interesting fact about the tables found at this expo is that they had managed to link two Fastbreak tables together for simultaneous multiplayer! A world first for the expo back in 2011, it it now a staple of Pinball Tournaments…

 

GamerDads Retrocast Pinball Review: “Party Zone” (Bally):

GAMES Here’s a video review of the Bally Pinball table “party Zone”, including stats on the build, table, play field, and game play including the Multi ball feature…

 


Originally shot at the 2011 replay retro gaming expo at the Norbreck Castle Hotel Blackpool – the expo is now known as the PLAY expo and is held in Manchester..

Star Trek TNG Pinball review & my top 3 Pinball tables:

GAMES

Star Trek: The Next Generation Pinball (November 1993 by Williams Electronics)

At the 2012 PLAY expo, I found myself in Geek Heaven when I found one of my all time Favourite Pinball Tables – 1993’s Star Trek: the Next Generation (TNG).

The table is now available to buy as part of the “Pinball Arcade” videogame – available on Android, iOS, Xbox Live Arcade, and PS3 Network… although if you ask me – nothing beats the real – life table!

In the video we also talk about my top three tables of all time – HAUNTED HOUSE, WHITE WATER, and Star Trek: TNG!

Held in Manchester Event City (next to Trafford Shopping Centre), this HUGE expo contained 4 main areas – REplay (retro gaming), NOWplay (current Gen previews), COZplay, and PROplay (a dedicated area for competitive multiplayer gaming).

Our coverage contains videos on @gamerdadsUK and @retrocastUK, Podcasts (available on iTunes – search GAMERDADS), and writeups on http://www.gamerdads.co.uk
