Introduction
Panic, the company behind this yellow not-a-Game-Boy, say they made this quirky little game systemdevice “just for fun,” and it shows. From the 1-bit screen to theits distinctive crank on its side, the Playdate radiates novelty. We just hope it’s as much fun to tear down as it is to play!
Full disclosure: Our teardown unit came directly from Panic, who, refusing all manner of bribes, sent us a teardown unit for free. Unfortunately it didn’t come with any games, so a teardown was about all it was good for. Little did they know, teardown is our favorite game. (Okay, they probably did know that.)
