No. The gameboy has been popular for over 10 years
and the new color gameboy will be very popular. That
statement is incorrect.

I doubt it. At least not now. And don't forget that Jimmy Mardell and
another guy are also part of the team too. SQRXZ was made originally
for the TI calcs by Jimmy Mardell

Yes, it does.

He may have had help

Yes

Yes. The LCD is not backlit, LCD reflective color, 56 colors on the screen
at once I think,
it can run like 10 hours on two AAA I believe.. and twice as fast as the
original.

Umm.. as far as I know, completely incorrect. I asked Jimmy Mardell about it
and
he told me quote 'You obviously don't know anything about gameboy
programming'
I read some more stuff on it after he said that. A 1MHZ CPU with limited Z80
instruction
support and hardware dedicated only for 2D tilebased acceleration cannot and
will
not be powerful enough to drive a 3D raycasting game, i.e. Daedalus. The
sentence
I made above is 100% accurate so I wont respond to any arguments ;-) j/k..
