A stunningly cheap 8-bit Konami handheld
By James Grahame
It's been 25 years since Frogger first ventured across a crowded freeway at an arcade near you. To celebrate, Konami recently licensed our favorite amphibian to Performance Design Products (PDP). They're planning to introduce this title and others in a ridiculously inexpensive $29.99 handheld that features a mysterious mix of "25 classic 8-bit games."
The VG Pocket Tablet offers a 2-inch backlit TFT LCD screen and accepts an optional $10 A/V cable that lets you enjoy some vintage 8-bit gaming on your big screen TV. Alas, there's no word what the other bundled titles might be, but this device could be a bargain. Available at megaretailers across North America on October 16, 2006.
