That's why I have a retroduo hooked up and on standby on my tv in the living room. It's perfect for this kinda thing, because I really enjoy throwing in some of the arcadey NES games (Excitebike, GunSmoke, Rad Racer, Dr.Mario, etc) when I'm sitting around waiting for food to cook or what have you. Although the past few days I've just plowed through Zelda II, and now I guess I need to replace it with Faxanadu next.

I used to always keep a rom of Advance Wars 2 and Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls on my android phone (with emulator, of course) - because neither of those games had an ATB guage, so I could basically play it at my leisure when at a diner or some such. Friends will really enjoy you whipping out Advance Wars on a phone and passing it back and forth. *Which should not be used as a substitute for conversation
