On the one hand I'd luv to see a PPC version of the Zodiac, although I'd hope it didn't look quite so tacky. A device that passes as a business machine (so I can play games at work
), but had been optimised for maximum gaming enjoyment e.g. ruggerised hardware buttons/d-pad (I keep breaking mine) and suped up graphics, with DirectX (PPC version of course) would be my dream.
But I guess if MS released a games machine then it would look like a games machine (no more fun at work, in meeting etc, yeah coz i woz really taking notes ;-p) and terrible battery life.
I also feel that the present games would have to be stepped up a notch for me to fork out the kinda prices that people pay for gameboy, N-gage games (is that still going or has it been discontinued?).
In essence I guess I'm kinda happy in a perturbingly weird way. As I luv playing games on my Ipaq 3970, but would love to share in some of the joys offered by the lastest technology, however not all devices make good games machines e.g. dare I say the E805 with it's laggy d-pad.
Although on another subject. Dan East from Pocket Wolf3D, Pocket Quake and Dexplor fame is in the process of releasing a PS controller adaptor for the PPC. Maybe this is the answer to my dreams
?
