Along with the 8 Meg Module, a must have for Visor Owners. [Posted on 2001-02-24] I don't understand why Palm didn't come up with this little gadget first. If you like playing games on your Visor, you will love this piece of plastic. Snaps on & off with easy and gives you that Nintendo GameBoy feel. Comes with a full copy of Astraware's Zap! 2016, to get you off and gaming out of the box. At first gaming input was (for a lack of a better word) sluggish. But once you get the feel of the GameBoy like controls, you'll be racking up the points on PacMan, Galx & Tetris Buyer beware! There are two versions of the GameFace. One version is designed for the Visor/Visor Deluxe/Visor Platinum, while the other is designed for the Visor Prism. Choose carefully! VISOR OWNERS, ITS GAME TIME! PUT ON YOUR GameFace!
Hmmm... [Posted on 2001-06-02] This was a well built product. The only problem lies with the fact that you are paying [price], for a piece of plastic with buttons that you push to push other buttons. It doesn't really help on all games either - some don't have configuration that work with the d-pad. But if you would like to impress people and if they flaunt their "Game Boy Advance" at you, just get an emulator and you have just one-upped them. Worth a buy if are a gamer. Oh yeah, It comes with Zap2016! This buy the way, in my opinion, is worth just as much as the gameface if not more.
It's ok, but not great for the money [Posted on 2001-12-07] I got this a while back for my Prism. I didn't realize at the time it was just a faceplate that pushes the application buttons on the Visor, so I was a little disappointed--seems like a lot to pay for that. Still, it was nice for games, making gameplay faster since the joystick appearance is more intuitive for games than the buttons alone. The SnapNType by TT Tech is way better though, it's an actual interface that snaps into the port on the Visor and has a Palm OS driver, rather than just being a button-pusher. Hopefully Amazon will carry that soon!
