"I can spot them at flea markets and thrift stores, spy them hidden behind stacks in used book stores. It happened after I first bought an Analogue Pocket, when the hunt for new and interesting Game Boy games became as important as actually playing them. Now my attention has turned to the Nintendo 64. Analogue's long-delayed take on the console - dubbed the Analogue 3D - might just be the most premium way there is to play N64 games, making it ideal for collectors."
"Analogue first made waves in 2015 with the Analogue NT, a modern re-creation of the NES. Since then, it has done the same for platforms like the Sega Genesis and SNES, all of which are designed to play old cartridges - which can cost anywhere from a few bucks to a few hundred, depending what you're buying - on modern televisions. The consoles use field-programmable gate array, or FPGA, technology to function just as the original hardware did."
I've developed a sixth sense for old video game cartridges, spotting them at flea markets, thrift stores, and back shelves in used book stores. The hunt intensified after buying an Analogue Pocket, making collecting Game Boy games as important as playing them. Attention shifted to the Nintendo 64 with the Analogue 3D, a long-delayed, premium hardware recreation that plays N64 cartridges and appeals to collectors. The device provides modern conveniences such as wireless controllers and 4K visuals while preserving a tactile, physical experience. Analogue has previously recreated the NES, Genesis, and SNES using FPGA technology to replicate original hardware behavior.
