I noticed recently that they're starting to release retro gaming onto wrist watches. I was thinking that the perfect game for a watch would be a point and click text based adventured game because it wouldn't put a strain on the battery and the game developers wouldn't worry about the memory limits too much. Something like king's quest would work well. It could still have graphics but they would just be there to display the surroundings.
I was looking at the Atari watch and thinking what it would be nice. They added fitness tracking to the watch.
If you wanted to type something on your watch, you would want to use a morse code based system if you only had a few buttons. I noticed that morse code is structured like a tree, if dot was left and dash was right the whole structure would resemble a tree. One dot 'e', one dash 't', a dot and a dash 'a'.
I wonder what would happen if the Atari Jaguar hadn't flopped and caused the company to stop making a profit? I like the atari Jaguar but it was very difficult to manufacture because it had 3 processors, a Motorola 36000 16 bit legacy processor and two 32 bit polygon controllers called Tom and Jerry. All those processors had to be soldered to the system board and it was very slow to manufacture, people couldn't get a hold of them so they bought the playstation one instead.
I also learnt that a lot of the game developers didn't want to use the two advanced processors because they didn't understand how they worked so they just used the Motorola one instead; the computing power was wasted.
The system was underused and under produced but it was so cool to me. I like the way the cd add-on just clipped into the cartridge slot and how the controllers had lots of buttons that could have an overlay added to them.
