Transforming your iPhone To a Gaming Console
2. What was your favorite video game back when you were a
kid and the only source of enjoyment you had was the retro
game console?
Answer: Of course there was the classic arcade games! We all
played Pac Man and Street Fighter in all its classic gaming. We also
had the Contra, Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers as playmates.
Remember Commando? Yes, I know you do.
3. If you miss the days when pixelated little characters were
still cool but you don't want to relinquish the days of big
consoles, why not play it on your iPhone?!
Sounds too stupid? Not if you've seen this! Cascadia Games LLC
has given more reasons for you not to sell iPhone 4 and enjoy
gaming on your Apple smartphone by introducing GameDock.
4. The GameDock is an iPhone accessory that mimics the
retro game console we all loved during the 80's and 90's. It
is supported by an app that serves as the dashboard for
your classic arcade games and has two controllers
connected to the dock. Your iPhone can also serve as your
gaming screen (although it's pretty small for gaming nerds).
For better gaming, players are encouraged to connect the
dock to a TV instead!
5. Can't play on a small screen (or in front of a big TV screen)?
You can just sell your iPhone and buy an iPad which is just
right for playing with this console.
The design is also very pretty. Generation X and
millennium babies would probably remember the
rectangular consoles of their childhood and those
tiny circle buttons that taught them how cool Kung
Fu was. This will also let your kid experience the
same coolness of classic retro games!
6. Before you get up to sell your iPhone and buy an iPad plus this cool console,
you should know that it isn't out yet so hold your horses. Apparently, the
creative minds behind GameDock (Chris Jorgensen, originally from ISITE
Design and Andi Greisel, originally from CBS Interactive) are still raising
funds on Kickstart for the mass production of this gaming console. They need
about 50 grand to start producing this accessory and they aren't even halfway
so if you want this project to come to fruition, you may as well donate a dollar
if you can.

7. Meanwhile, if you really want something more for when you're
playing on your iPhone, you can try iCade which transforms your
iPhone into a portable gaming console (much like a PSP). It was
made and designed by Ion Audio and is being sold for 80 bucks.
If you dearly loved the Atari
and want a joystick for playing
on your iPhone, you can also
try iCade Core. But if you're
not into gaming at all, just sell
your iPhone!
