It struck us the other day, as we curled up into our beds to play one last Wi-Fi game of chess in Clubhouse Games, that the sheer technological brilliance of such an action is taken a bit for granted. We have a little tiny device in our hands that enables us to play a game of skill and strategy against some other guy sitting on his toilet in Taiwan. Now that's amazing.How did this magic and devilry come about? Well, the folks over at Modojo have compiled a comprehensive feature on the history of handheld multiplayer for your perusal. Remember the first time you traded a Geodude in Pokemon, or used the IR port on the Game Boy Color? Just kidding. No one used that. Take a swing down memory lane, and be thankful for what you've got!
Dang ungrateful, spoiled kids ....
