R-Kaid-R

A tribute to the origin of video gaming, this machine is exclusively for the dedicated gamer

Remember those arcade games we were all crazily putting our coins into to get a few minutes or hours of joy? Yes, we all wanted to take home one of those, but had neither the space nor energy to store it, and this is where the R-Kaid-R [Read Arcader], a luxury retro looking console game, comes in.

The R-Kaid-R comes in a tailored leather shoulder bag. Take it out and pull the lock knob, open up the box, and use the lock knob as an eight axis joystick. There is also a hidden posidrive in case you need one. The R-Kaid-R is powered by a built-in battery that lasts about eight hours on a full charge, and is charged using a USB 5 volt connection.

The console comes with a 16 GB SD card that has the game menu interface and Cave Story pre-installed on it. The menu supports games from Sega, Mame, Neo Geo, PC Engine, Play Station1, Atari 2600, Game Boy, Game Boy Advanced, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D and many more; you will have to source the games yourself, though.

The mono speaker, placed next to the 8-inch LCD that supports an 800×600 pixel resolution, takes you back to your younger days, and if you loved your PacMan, or Super Mario Brothers or even Duke Nukem, you are going to have hours of fun.

The R-Kaid-R folds down to a small portable 27 cm wide by 17 cm high and 9 cm deep box, and each R-Kaid-R unit is handmade from solid wood; and it comes in dark walnut, black ash, dark emerald green maple, emerald green maple and walnut wood options.

There are only 50 of each colour option available, and they come numbered, so your prized possession retains its value even after you have played all the games endlessly. n

Designed for people who need speed, the S5 4G is powered by the Qualcomm 8974 Pro 2.5 Ghz processor and supports eight 4G LTE bands. There is also an advanced camera (HDR mode, Selective Focus), and like the Galaxy S5, the 4G variant is dust and water resistant. Its battery is designed to run for 24 hours in standby mode even with a 10 per cent charge. It has two internal antennas that doubles your connection speed. Anyone with a Galaxy S5 can upgrade to the 4G variant by paying an additional Rs 10,000.
