As we are celebrating the launch of Metal Game Solid, we’ll be doing a series of giveaways, starting with the excellent Analogizer by RndMnkIII, which he has kindly donated. If you’re unfamiliar with what the Analogizer is, it’s a device that lets you output your Analogue Pockets display to a legacy display such as a CRT. As well as that it gives the Pocket SNAC capabilities, which means with the correct adapter, original controllers can be used to play your games. Many Analogue Pocket users have been disappointed with the lack of official DAC support from Analogue themselves, so this has been a good alternative. I have this device myself and think very highly of it.
This giveaway has four multiple choice questions, which have been chosen by the developer. The reason for these questions is to ensure the winner actually knows what the product is and understand how the device works. I can assure you that future giveaways will not have this line of questioning, unless of course we are in a similar situation again.
Conditions of the giveaway and prize information
- You must be signed up to metalgamesolid.com and post your answers in the comments section of this post, example 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a.
- Follow Metal Game Solid either on X or Blue Sky (or both if you really love us)
- The giveaway will be open for exactly seven days (winner will be decided soon after end time)
- The winner will be given a single use code that can be used on the Analogizer website to redeem a free Analogizer unit. The winner can decide on case, colour and finish. Special Customisation for the case can also be requested.
The Questions from RndMnkIII
Q1 What’s the Analogizer adapter for?
a) It’s a diabolical machine you can use to beat up your boss.
b) I don’t know, but I like the sound of the name.
c) It’s an adapter that allows you to connect all kinds of appliances to your Analogue Pocket.
d) It allows you to display an analog video signal using the Analogue Pocket’s cartridge port.
Q2 Is that all it’s for, or is it for something else?

b) You can plug in original SEGA and Atari controllers using a DB9 port.
c) It uses the SNAC protocol with a USB 3 port to connect native controllers of various types.
