There are so many awesome devices to experience classic games on now its mind blowing. Wasn't aware of this one. Like that it has a docking station for big screen play.

Yeah it's a really nice handheld. It's Fpga based that can play from carts and the screen is gorgeous for GB and SNES.

What do you think of it? I know a lot of people end up playing ROMs on them anyway so I've really had trouble understanding all the hype

I got my pocket in the first wave of releases, but I held off on the dock until earlier this year. My dock arrived a few days ago and I love it.

After using modded Gameboys and various emulators, the pocket is my favorite hand held. I still prefer the form factor ofa Gameboy micro, but the pocket's screen can't be beat.

The dock is a nice way to top access those same games on a big screen, but I don't think the pocket is the best option if you only want to play on a tv.
