[@Boogie_the_cat]

I'm happy with one math. I would be happier with 0% math because numbers are for Plato and his freaks. Euro-Britian can have all the maths they want. I'm just surprised they didn't call it "mathz" with a zed. Because Heinz baked beans in England are called Heinz baked beanZ for some reason. Possibly they are not real beans.

I'm always fascinated by how technology reaches mainstream appeal, which I increasingly realize is not about who did what first. If you had told me there was a handheld console in 1997 with internet access and a touch screen, I would have been completely amazed. But when you look at the console itself, you realize that those features mean nothing unless you can use them meaningfully.

You knowledge of Fighters Megamix is spot-on (aside from the gaffe about Janet). Good stuff. There's also another version of Bahn (Ura Bahn), Bean and Bark from Sonic The Fighters, an inflatable bear (I think that's what it was) called "Kumachan", a Mexican jumping bean called "Deku", and the game also had a playable version of the AM2 palm tree and a big slab of meat on two legs if you were real diligent about poking around.

Hey Stuart. Just a bit of trivia regarding cartridge slots; I'm not sure if they were technically cartridges, rather than disks, but the Cambridge Z88 had slits for no fewer than 4 'cartridges' to be inserted at once. My father wrote most of the code for that device, so I grew up with one as my own personal computer.

I went to flea market one day and they had a small store full of retro games and consoles, i laid my eye on the only gameboy pocket they had (It was the same color btw). I decided to spend $28 in total for the handheld as well as a copy of Kirby's Dream Land. Once I stepped outside, I got excited and turned on the power. Nothing but a black vertical line appeared. I tried turning on the power with and without the cartridge but I still got the same result. So I returned it saying how they sold me a defective handheld. They apologized and gave me a gba instead for free.
