Happy Holidays!

We've added new platforms Epoch Cassette Vision, Epoch Super Cassette Vision, Epoch Game Pocket Computer, Mattel Aquarius, Philips VG 5000, and Sord M5.

Wii U snuck into the system as well a couple weeks ago.

Some research is being done for Kindle and BlackBerry tablets so those may be coming soon as well.

I remember them giving away the Mattel Aquarius on Starcade in the 1980's.

Thank you very much!

I've PMed Kabushi asking to add Mattel Aquarius tech-specs. One thing I missed: is "color/b&w TV" issue important?

I've already submitted 1 new game and 9 ports. Here are some reference websites for this system:

But Windows RT / Windows 8 modern UI is still missing.

Are there games they require these as a minimum? These are typically listed under any existing platform and we simply add the new OS version

Windows RT is not compatible with earlier Windows. It can only run software that's been acquired through the Windows Store.

Yes, we can only stretch Win 9.x so far. This is a new platform.
