Chapter 2. Playing Portably
Hacks 19-27
Nintendo’s Game Boy series has enjoyed a 15-year lead as the portable gaming platform of choice. This has spawned an odd and occasionally bewildering array of add-ons, accessories, and modifications.
The Game Boy isn’t the only portable out there, though, nor are you limited to conventional notions of what is and isn’t a portable gaming system. For example, did you know that you can play and write simple choose-your-own-adventure-style games that run on the iPod? Have you ever wished your Nintendo were more portable? Why not pick up a battery-powered NES-compatible handheld?
If you’re on the go and want a little bit more from your gaming fix, consider these alternate ways to play portably.
