This week we're replaying some of our favorite shows about our favorite games. In this episode from September 2020, a research project builds a handheld device modeled on Nintendo's Game Boy that gets its power from solar panels and the energy created by pushing buttons - no batteries necessary. Plus: a programmer recreates the classic video game Doom inside an electronic pregnancy test. Technology is pretty versatile, isn't it?
