OffTopic > Gameboy Wristwatch? Maybe!

#3921 - Pike - Wed Mar 12, 2003 9:44 pm

Hey, I just found out about this watch coming out from fossil that uses Pam OS and has all these cool features that sound awesome.
The fact that really caught my eye was that it plays all Palm OS Programs. This means emulators. Gameboy On Wristwatch!
Gives a new Spin on the idea of the old nintendo Game & Watch!
It might play at low speeds, but hey, think about it.
Zelda on your wrist,
Mario on your wrist,
Anything on your wrist!
It's possible now.
Anyone up for developing a new Palm OS GB Emulator?

Have you visited the palm site?
or did a search for a palm os gb emulator,
because there already out there,
but sure someone could right one for the gba,
which probably isn't available on palm os yet
(correct me if i am wrong)

but why play on a watch? If i have a gba with a bigger screen?
