Looks COOL Doesn't It!

We Love A Gadget....
We Especially Love A Video-Gaming Gadget....

BUT

We absolutely adore a Retro Gaming Video Game Related Gadget!! 

We stumbled across the RETRODE whilst looking for some COOL pics for The Games Freezer Pinterest Board.

Firstly we think it looks really good. Sleek, Black and Compact.

So, what does this bad boy do then? Make toast? Wash dishes? 
No my friends it does much more important things than that. 

This little Black Box Of Tricks allows you to play SEGA Genesis and Super Nintendo cartridges through your Computer, Smartphone or Tablet, using your original cartridges and controllers!

It allows you to do this using a USB cable into your chosen device and syncs itself with the emulation software of choice. 

It does all this without the need for hardware drivers and will therefore operate on any USB host, under any operating system, using any type of emulator.

The thing we like the most about the RETRODE is how it allows up to FOUR SNES or MEGADRIVE controllers to be plugged into it for multi-player mayhem!

Just imagine 4 player NBA JAM on this cool piece of kit!

We had a look on the RETRODE website and found this step by step guide which seems easy enough to follow....take a look below...

How it works.......

1. Find and install emulator.
2. Plug cartridge into Retrode, and connect controllers. Of course, if you only want to use either the cartridge or a controller, that’s fine with us.
3. Connect Retrode to computer. No drivers needed.
4. Play! Load ROM into the emulator, configure the controllers, and you’ll be playing in no time.

Looking at this gorgeous gadget makes us want one RIGHT NOW!

Head on over to the Retrode Website now and take a look!

Also Head over to the Retrode Community Website for a taste of what this baby can really do!

☆The History Of "CONSOLE WARS"☆

Having observed from the sidelines over the last few months The Games Freezer team has seen the hype and frenzy of the supposed "Console Wars" reach new HIGHS and LOWS as we see Sony & Microsoft trade daily blows in almost real time via all manner of social networks and media outlets.

It has been made all the more intense due to the long wait for a next generation of consoles and the fact that the so called "fanboys" have an instant way of showing their Love for their chosen console and a Hate for the opposing console.

Now we don't agree with the use such a genuinely exciting set of events to create a warring tension between gamers, but when we look back over the years we find that this kind of War Of Words & Consoles has been going on since 1975!

So nothing new at all really except nowadays the marketing machine and hype is more in your face…..

 

We decided to look at the greatest match ups over the years to see who dealt the knock-out blows since 1975 up until the present day, whilst also adding in our own scoring system to decide the winner of each Round!

So without further ado……."Seconds Out……ROUND 1……FIGHT!"

Lets just start by saying that this book NEEDS TO BE MADE.....

(UPDATE: This Kickstarter Has Now Been Funded And Is In The Process Of Being Made)

It's the kind of art book that we here at Games Freezer dream of making ourselves if only we had the artistic talent......
