Still Fresh
Good Day Everyone,
After much consideration, I have decided to pre-order a GP 32 BLU despite the expensive cost to send to the US. I have always been a fan of open source and have been using Linux since 1993 in one form or another. I also love gaming, and have been the proud owner of a Genesis Nomad since its initial introduction to the market. To me, it is still one of the best handheld systems on the market, though SEGA simply did not market it properly. The so-called "underdog" has always been something of appeal to me.
It all started when my wife and I opted to sell all of our storage and items on eBay. Based on our profits (and the loss of some of our more "precious items") I came to the conclusion that each of us should purchase something we really wanted. After careful consideration, it came to my attention that the most precious item I was selling was my Nomad.
Given that I have made reasonable profits despite a tight budget, I kept thinking about the sale of my Nomad and how I did not want to lose it, as it had great meaning to me (I am sure some of you understand this). The thought came to mind that what I wanted was something to replace it...and after a long seach the GP32 became my idol.
Herein was a device that could provide me a unique gaming experience with the games and emulation, as well as a plethora of other capabilities! The more I researched, the more I was interested. The only other object of my consideration was the Zodiac, and to be honest, it seemed more "eyewash" that an item of interest as I have always favored open source.
With that in mind, I pre-ordered the GP32 BLU, and look forward to the arrival of the system. From what I have heard here, there is much to look forward to. I only hope that I can get a good price for my Nomad to cover some of the expense. In addition, I hope that most of my favorite Genesis games can be emulated properly. Unfortunately, research dictates that Shadowrun does not emulate properly....perhaps someone has had some luck with this? Shadowrun is the bulwark of all my Genesis games, and its proper emulation would be a boon!
Best regards,
Valeos
