Now here's an entrant in the game console wars that you didn't see coming. Veteran software developer Panic (best known for writing and publishing ) has a handheld game system, Playdate, that aims to break the rules of game consoles. Most conspicuously, it has a hand crank -- you'll have to treat your system like a fishing rod to play some titles. It looks silly, but Panic is clearly betting that the added will help it stand out. There's a black-and-white screen, too, so the creators (including ) are undoubtedly counting on a bit of -style nostalgia for simpler times.
