Gemei X-900: Going game on retro

Edvarcl Heng | Oct 16, 2006

Gaming emulators are fast becoming the norm in China. But to pack in three of the cult consoles of all time? Super Famicom, Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Mega Drive? Unreal, says the top honchos of Super Mario Brothers 3. What's Halo compared to Contra? Street Fighter versus Dead or Alive? It's a no contest. Especially when modern day portable gaming devices have to jump through so many hoops just to break out one decent round of Sonic the Hedgehog (Think Sony PSP and homebrew).

Have a break. Play a game. Get a Gemei.

Strolling Bowling

Juniper Foo | Oct 13, 2006

When the site says this game has legs, it means exactly that. We were certainly bowled over when we came across this 10-pin miniature game that takes its own sweet time to score. That's right. Players wind up a little clockwork bowling ball, much like the kind you sometimes get with your McDonald's Value Meals, take aim, then wait as it strolls down the alley towards the popup pins. It's a hoot to watch as the windup bowling ball with clown feet rarely waddles towards the direction you've pointed it at. Since it appears to have two left feet, this takes a lot more luck than skill to score a strike. Great for a bowling-obsessed partner or friend.

Inflatable iceberg

Juniper Foo | Oct 02, 2006

Tons of belly flopping fun, if you crave the workout. Certainly a lot safer than the real deal which turned the Titanic into so much flotsam, this inflatable iceberg is insanely emormous at 4m high. Three of the walls have different difficulty levels, from easy to expert, while the fourth wall is a big slide. Now all you need is an Olympic-sized pool, plenty of hot air, and about US$6,000.
