          @lipebello Resolution is NTSC/PAL but the area is very small (3.5 inches diagonally). It is as small as the Pi3 itself.

              Great work, nice update. The only two systems I use that aren't yet represented... Odyssey 2 and Z-Machine (Infocom).

                @ohmycommodore Random question, do those 2 systems use a controller to play games or is it all keyboard controlled?

                  O2 yes (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Magnavox-Odyssey-2-Console-Set.jpg/1200px-Magnavox-Odyssey-2-Console-Set.jpg).

                  Text adventures no, just keyboard.

                  I think this system will be an interesting one to conceptualize and design. For starters, do you use the title Z-Machine, Infocom (which is kind of the "Kleenex" brand I suppose, or simply Text Adventures?). I think I'd prefer Text Adventures, but I guess Z-Machine follows suit if the system name is what is normally chosen. It's a unique one, so I suppose it's up for discussion.

                    @lipebello You build the best theme for Retropie by far, congrats and thanks to you. Any plans on adding Daphnee emulator?

                    Thanks!

                            This might help a bit.

                            I have an O2 console (not my original, but a replacement at least) and all my old games. Very identifiable style and colour palette on the box arts, for those who remember them. Example here: https://stiggyblog.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/odyssey-2-game-box-art/ Will be interesting to see how you interpret it and make it your own.

                            For Z-Machine, In the Comic Book theme it's called "Infocom", which is likely the best title, and the main company for the most famous text adventures. The Z stands of course for the Zork series. You can research Infocom with these links. There's also the documentary "Get Lamp". Oh, and if there's not a Hitchhiker's Guide "Don't Panic!" button in your eventual screen... you're doing it wrong :)

                              I'm 46... though i could be 47... They say -something- is the first to go, I forget what. Memory maybe. Math is the second to go, so I'm probably +/- a year either way.

                              Go play O2's "Showdown in 2100 A.D." against a friend and let me know how you like it.

                                Wow! Zork I! never played because when i only started to learn english when i was 15 and the Nes RPGs had those beautiful maps and battles.
                                But i played a lot of Ian Livingstone's books. Those were awesome.

                                  I'd like to get my kids into some text adventures. Anyone who had the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books (I'm sure there are descendants of them today, and there are certainly iOS games) found the Infocom games pretty interesting and easy to get into.

                                  I'm positive I played the HitchHiker's Guide game before I read the book(s). I think that was part of the plan, so it worked. Fun fact: I have my original Hitchhiker's Guide "invisi-clues" (game solutions) book.

                                      Hello,

                                      It's a real work of art. Thank you very much.

                                      I use emulationstation on windows and I use the emulators for ps2, wii and wiiu. Have you planned to make themes for these consoles?
