If you grew up in the 80s you know that this will bring back some good old memories.

It could be the smallest arcade game in the world.

History of Mobile Gaming

Do you remember the original GameBoy? That was a massive success. Did you know it had a CPU of 8-bit Z80 CMOS (4.19MHz) and 8KB of ram? Man that was a blast. I still remember me playing Tetris on that amazing mobile gaming platform. Right now I can play tons of games on my iPhone 4, or my PSP.

PSP Movie Dock and Music Amp

I love my PSP and I love to play games on it every time I have a break from job.But sometimes I'm on a trip and all I want to do is watch some movies on the road. For that purpose, Movie Dock or Music Amp are the best choice.


You'll find that PlayGear Amp from Logitech is not the cheapest solution, but is the best sound you'll ever get on your PSP. Some of you will notice that this sound system is even better than those you are using on your computer. The entire system folds up and fits in the carrying case which is included. Buyers from Amazon recommend this for anyone wanting to hear excellent sound from their PSP without having to wear headphones. The package includes the unit itself, an AC power adapter (the system also runs on 4 AAA batteries), the PSP cradle, one short cable, one 3 foot cable, and the carrying case.



PSP Movie Dock is the cheapest one that still included a remote. It's not as classy as Music Amp, but it will get the job done for the money! The dock itself can run off of the PSP battery, 4 AAAs, or the power/car plug. The sound quality is decent for the money, and you won't regret you bought it.
