Prodigy

Living in 2026 allows you to take advantage of modern tech improving or fixing old tech. The amount of mods, custom cases and accessories for retro handhelds is unbelievable! You shouldn't have to live with a broken case or scratched screen. There are very low cost options for repair and improvements like IPS screens and USB-C charging ports.

We do these mods in house to our display handhelds here so feel free to come in and ask any questions about the processes. It's actually very easy and can be fun!

Also, if you know anyone who does these mods or is someone who does, drop your card by. Customers ask a lot about people who fix and mod consoles and I'd love to give people some choices.

Prodigy is open all regular hours this week; WED/THU/FRI from 4pm to 10pm and SAT/SUN from 2pm to 10pm for $20 admission. All games are included. Ages 13+ only. Please visit the website befote visiting.

Prodigy's first hole is the 4th most difficult hole on the course and there is a big reason for this.

Every great game teaches you important lessons early in the first level that will be of great assistance later in the game and I prefer a 'trial by fire' or 'show by example' method with most games, myself. Let me learn; don't just tell me.

A most thin 3" gate is your first obstacle on this course teaching you that the consequences from striking it hard is a strong rejection striaght back out of bounds. A soft hit will ensure decent placement regardless of whether you make the gap or not. Setting yourself up for that next shot, even if things don't work out as planned, is the first tough lesson and is of great assistance throughout the course.

Some of the best platformer games harm you early on to teach you not to touch that goomba... or, nope, your character can not, in fact, swim. Now you know.

There are many ways to not only get to Prodigy, but there are many places to park, as well. Our 'main entrance' is in the back of Eastworks, though. The Prodigy website has a great page with exact instructions on how to get here.

Mattel had Barbie, Hot Wheels, Intellivision... and the Hyper Scan. One of the first home video game consoles to use RFID tech to read external data (like Amiibo) was also one of the fastest products pulled from the shelves for Mattel. 1 year and 30k sold, this console disappeared like it never existed.

This goes to show you, you never know until you try. Risks are part of life, but also know when to pull the plug.

One of the most asked about relic at Prodigy is the burnt SNES on display. In fact, it's an SNES melted to an NES UForce controller. The UForce was a peripheral that sensed your hand movement over a flat surface, similar to the Power Glove, but even worse to use.

The story is that a local family had a garage fire and this SNES suffered the consequences. The switches still move so maybe eventually I'll cut it open and insert some working innards and have it as a functional SNES. We'll see...

"One of the things that I learned is that you never truly know yourself until you challenge yourself. It is when you are confronted with challenges that you see what you are really made of, what is important to you and what your true aspirations are." Benoit Lecomte, World Record Swimmer

Modern Gamer: The King's cut scenes are unrealistic and repetitive. No camera angle control. The plot is shallow. The color pallete is limited. No DLSS support and FPS locked at only 60. Ray tracing, non existent. No unlimited continues and just too difficult. Overall... meh.

Me: The gameplay is superb. Best game ever!

AI Bot: I'm having a blast!
