Gameport emulates Atari 2600 and Colecovision games

Posted May 29, 2007 at 09:52PM by Glen D. Listed in: Misc. Gadgets Tags: Atari, Colecovision, Ben Heckendorn

We found this little gadget in BenHeck's website and discovered that it's called Gameport. Essentially, it's a portable emulator that can run Atari 2600 and Colecovision games for the moment. With software upgrades, games from other platforms can also be played.

As of now, this is only at the working design stage. The shell measures 3.5" x 5" x 1" at the moment but will probably be smaller when the finished product comes out. There's obviously no slot for cartridges, meaning you'll have to load games via USB data transfer.

It sounds like a nice idea and we'd love to see what it can do by the time it's done. Details are pretty scarce at the moment but you can email the people making it at sales@gameport.tv to ask direct questions.

Very cool idea. I use my PSP for that, but if I didn't, I'd buy this thing right away.
