(I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but I'll reply anyways without fear of being made fun of. . )

Wow, that thing does look pretty damn sweet (it looks alot like a PSP actually) , but what games does it play?

I don't actually know , I can't read that language. But I'm hoping it's color games and not the same B/W games as the original GameKing.

It's probably just a a backlit Gameking...but we shall see.

Can't wait to find out.

What are the games like? Are they like Game Boy or Tiger / Game & Watch type things?

[rbudrick]

They are very basic, 4 shades of grey. They have some blurring issues sorta like a game.com, but not as bad, but worse than the original Gameboy. The games are usually short...about 3 levels each, but they are all really good for what they are. You can get the system for $50 (shipped) with 13 games, plus 3 built in (I never turned mine on without a cart, so I only heard about this). It's a cool little system and worth owning, especially for the price. Part of their charm is the extremely comical Engrish all over the boxes and such.

There's a Double Dragon clone, a contra clone, a bunch of racing clones, an SMB clone, a Darkwing duck clone and a whole bunch of others (17 known game carts are out. GBAX.com wiull be selling the other 4 seperately soon...supposedly. We need people to keep buggin them about this, because it aint happenned yet. They gave me a very vague answer when I asked).

Put it on your Xmas list if nothing else. The system is primitive, but really fun, and that's what matters.

[rbudrick]

Hey, I like the color...I think it looks cool. However, that DPad looks horrible.
