It’s Playdate Time!!

Streamed from April 26 to May 24, 2022

Playdate is a tiny yellow handheld game system from Panic, a company in Portland that started out making software for Mac. It has a black and white screen, a crank you can use in some of the games, and a lot of charm. It also includes a season of games (24 in total) that unlock each week. This is a a short series where I unbox my Playdate and try out the first few weeks of games.

Unboxing and First Look

It’s Playdate Time!! Let’s open it up and check it out! I open up the tiny console itself as well as the purple cover. After a brief charge, I go through the setup process and update the software. Finally I spend some time playing Whitewater Wipeout and Casual Birder.
